  2. NGASR II A Joint Research Project sponsored by NSC, Taiwan – Next Generation Automatic Speech Recognition – Phase 2 Prof. Hsiao-Chuan Wang, National Tsing Hua Univ. (2008 ~ 2011)

  3. (1)Speech event detection and automatic labeling for speech corpora To develop methods for speech event and attribute detection To develop methods for automatic labeling of speech database. (2)Validation and labeling of speech corpus Labeling of MATBD – Mandarin broadcast news (by Prof. Hsin-Min Wang) Labeling of TCC300 – Mandarin read speech (by Prof. Yih-Ru Wang) (3) Other corpus Sinica COSPRO and Toolkit – fluent continuous speech databases for the study on Mandarin prosody(by Prof. Chiu-yu Tseng)
