Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article describes the development of a multimodal learning system for the Kazakh language intended for digital educational environments. The study focuses on the lack of avatar-based learning systems adapted to the linguistic properties of the Kazakh language and the limited integration of verbal and non-verbal components in existing solutions. The proposed system combines syntactic and morphological text analysis with sentiment processing and intonation control. Speech synthesis, gesture generation, facial expression control, and lip synchronization are implemented within a single system architecture. Prosodic parameters are formed based on sentence structure and sentence-level emotional indicators, while visual articulation is synchronized with audio output. The system was tested in speech synthesis scenarios relevant to interactive educational use. The results show that the system can be used for automated lecture narration, voice-over of instructional materials, and basic learner interaction in avatar-based educational settings.
