چکیده

This dissertation uses machine learning and visualization techniques to explore computational problems in tone and intonation. We quantify the lexical importance of tones in a language, recognize tones in a tonal language, and use intonational patterns to help recognize the meanings of parts of conversations. The recognition problems will be implemented in a modular manner so that features based on different representations and measurements of intonation, such as pitch detection and interpolation algorithms, can be tested.
