Abstract: A method and system for enhancing pronunciation during a speech, the method including receiving audio data, the audio data including a speech, performing at least one of acoustic scoring and language scoring on the speech, determining a pronunciation score of one or more words of the speech based on the acoustic scoring and the language scoring, determining that the pronunciation score for the word does not satisfy a threshold score, responsive to determining that the pronunciation score does satisfy the threshold score, identifying the word as mispronounced, and responsive to identifying the word as mispronounced, outputting the word and the pronunciation score thereof.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same are provided. The forming method includes: forming discrete poly gate layers on a base of a first region and a second region, the poly gate layer of the first region including a bottom gate layer and a top gate layer protruding out of the bottom gate layer, the top gate layer and the bottom gate layer defining a groove, and a polish block layer being formed on the sidewall of the groove; forming an interlayer dielectric layer on the base on the side of the poly gate layer; removing the poly gate layer of the second region to form a gate opening; and forming a metal gate layer in the gate opening.

Abstract: Event processing apparatus for processing electronic tag reading events comprising a first event processing module and one or more second event processing modules. The or each second event processing module is operable to receive event data records concerning electronic tag reading events from electronic tag readers, and to transmit to the first event processing module processed event data records concerning selected electronic tag reading events. A filter control module transmits filter definitions to the second event processing modules and subsequently transmits filter control signals indicating that filters should be activated or deactivated in order to avoid overloading of the first event processing module. Statistics concerning the selectivity of filters, including filters which are currently inactive, are used to determine which filters should be activated or deactivated.
