Automatic Text-Independent Pronunciation Scoring of Foreign Language Student Speech L. Neumeyer
H. Franco
M. Weintraub
P. Price
ICSLP 1996 [PDF] 共提出了四種basic scoring方法: HMM log-likelihood score, segment classification score, segment duration scores, 和 timing scores
Automatic Pronunciation Scoring for Language Instruction H. Franco
L. Neumeyer
Y. Kim
O. Ronen
ICASSP 1997 [PDF] 提出了HMM-based log-posterior probability score, 效果比之前的segment duration score和log-likelihood score好, 整句評分是由每個phone的評分再平均得來, 並提出了使用linear regression/nonlinear regression (neural network)/model estimation的方法來做score combination

Eurospeech 1997 [PDF] 自動辨識/回饋日文學習者在以下三種易混淆的音種: long/short vowel, mora/non-mora nasal, and mora/non-mora obstruent, 辨識只用duration長短來看, 會先用native corpus算出每個音的duration分佈
Automatic Pronunciation Scoring of Specific Phone Segments for Language Instruction Y. Kim
H. Franco
