Super nice, thanks for sharing!
There's one thing that gave me pause: In the phrase 我想学中文 it identified "wén" as "guó". While my pronunciation isn't perfect, there's no way that what I said is closer to "guó" than to "wén".
This indicates to me that the model learned word structures instead of tones here. "Zhōng guó" probably appears in the training data a lot, so the model has a bias towards recognizing that.
- Edit -
From the blog post:
> If my tone is wrong, I don’t want the model to guess what I meant. I want it to tell me what I actually said.
Your architecture also doesn't tell you what you actually said. It just maps what you said to the likeliest of the 1254 syllables that you allow. For example, it couldn't tell you that you said "wi" or "wr" instead of "wo", because those syllables don't exist in your setup.
Found this in the HN Arcade[1].
The difficulty really goes parabolic in the fourth wave. Might be a skill issue. It's a fun game either way, thanks for sharing!
