Abstract
This paper presents a comparative study on automatic continuous tone recognition for Mandarin and Cantonese. Compared with Mandarin, Cantonese has a much more complex tone system. The effects of F0 normalization on tone recognition of Mandarin and Cantonese will be studied. Furthermore, the two tone systems will be compared from an engineering point of view. Tone recognition accuracies of 71.50% and 83.06% have been obtained for Cantonese and Mandarin respectively. These results compare favorably with results reported for other tone recognition experiments on the same (for Cantonese) and similar databases (for Mandarin).
