A dataset for recognition of Arabic accents from spoken L2 English speech (ArL2Eng).

Scientific data
This paper introduces the ArL2Eng dataset, a speech corpus of L2 English produced by native speakers of Arabic, and highlights its potential in supporting research into automated language assessment. ArL2Eng comprises audio sequences from speakers of...

Democratizing cost-effective, agentic artificial intelligence to multilingual medical summarization through knowledge distillation.

Scientific reports
The increasing demand for multilingual capabilities in healthcare technology highlights the critical need for AI solutions capable of handling underrepresented languages, such as Arabic, in clinical documentation. Arabic's unique linguistic complexit...

Multilingual identification of nuanced dimensions of hope speech in social media texts.

Scientific reports
Hope plays a crucial role in human psychology and well-being, yet its expression and detection across languages remain underexplored in natural language processing (NLP). This study presents MIND-HOPE, the first-ever multiclass hope speech detection ...

A systematic multimodal assessment of AI machine translation tools for enhancing access to critical care education internationally.

BMC medical education
BACKGROUND: Language barriers pose a significant barrier to expanding access to critical care education worldwide. Machine translation (MT) offers significant promise to increase accessibility to critical care content, and has rapidly evolved using n...

Evaluating Mandarin tone pronunciation accuracy for second language learners using a ResNet-based Siamese network.

Scientific reports
Evaluating tone pronunciation is essential for helping second-language (L2) learners master the intricate nuances of Mandarin tones. This article introduces an innovative automatic evaluation method for Mandarin tone pronunciation that employs a Siam...

Using a Multilingual AI Care Agent to Reduce Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening for Higher Fecal Immunochemical Test Adoption Among Spanish-Speaking Patients: Retrospective Analysis.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates remain disproportionately low among Hispanic and Latino populations compared to non-Hispanic White populations. While artificial intelligence (AI) shows promise in health care delivery, concerns exi...

AI-mediated translation presents two possible futures for academic publishing in a multilingual world.

PLoS biology
As the availability and performance of artificial intelligence for language editing and translation continues to improve, we can imagine a future in which everyone can use their own language to write, assess, and read science. The question is, how ca...

Chinese EFL students' perceptions about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in their second language (L2) self-concept.

Acta psychologica
The applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to second or foreign language (L2) education have recently been the focus of several studies in the literature. However, the impact of AI tools on students' psychological-affective states ...

Decoding of lexical items and grammatical features in EEG: A cross-linguistic study.

Neuropsychologia
Diverse evidence supports the theory that bilingual language users have language-invariant representations of concepts and grammatical forms such as argument structure. Here we extend that work to test the representation of morphosyntactic features a...

Does Musical Experience Facilitate Phonetic Accommodation During Human-Robot Interaction?

Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR
PURPOSE: This study investigated the effect of musical training on phonetic accommodation in a second language (L2) after interacting with a social robot, exploring the motivations and reasons behind their accommodation strategies.
