What Counts as a Mistake? Annotating Recitation Events in Quran Memorization Transcripts

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper presents a human‑annotated dataset of 100 Quran recitation recordings, identifying 348 scored units and 162 localized events across ten combined labels. An evaluator that scores both labels and word positions achieves a label‑aware F1 of 0.525 and a localization F1 of 0.826, with adapted production cleaner/alignment components yielding similar scores. A pilot experiment with eight 20‑minute runs across three coders and eight models shows wide variance in F1 (0.143–0.892) and highlights that most gold events are detected, leaving only span extent and label conventions as the remaining challenges.

Automatic Pronunciation Error Detection and Correction of the Holy Quran's Learners Using Deep Learning

The paper presents an automated pipeline that generates high‑quality Quranic datasets, including 848 hours of audio and 286,000 annotated utterances, by collecting recitations, segmenting at pause points with a fine‑tuned wav2vec2‑BERT model, transcribing segments, and verifying transcripts using a novel Tasmeea algorithm. It introduces qdat_bench, a benchmark covering phonemes, diacritization, and Tajweed rules, and a custom Quran Phonetic Script (QPS) for encoding Tajweed. A multi‑level CTC model trained on this data achieves a 0.21% phoneme error rate on the test set and 1.94% on qdat_bench, with a 75.8% Tajweed F1 score.
