Chinese Tone Recognition Based on 3D Dynamic Muscle Information by JianRong Wang, Li Wan, Ju Zhang, Qiang Fang, Fan Yang, Jing Hu

Similarly, we verified the role of the SCNet syllable tone recognition and found that the vowel and syllable tone recognition accuracy of our model was as high as 97.3%, which also showed the robustness of our proposed method for Chinese tone recognition and it can be widely used for tone recognition.…”
