Abstract:

Computer-implemented systems and methods for automatically integrating a machine learning component to improve a spoken language skill of a speaker. The method includes selecting an anchor phrase and a target word as part of an interactive game, presenting a visual representation of the anchor phrase and the target word to the speaker, processing a received and digitized anchor phrase and target word with a speech engine, extracting a plurality of features from speech engine output with a feature extraction device and transmitting the plurality of features to a plurality of classifiers, deriving a plurality of classifier outputs from the plurality of features with the feedback classifiers and transmitting the plurality of classifier outputs to a resolver, selecting a feedback response with the resolver using a set of pre-defined rules based at least in part on the plurality of classifier outputs, and presenting the feedback response to the speaker.
