Researchers have developed a new framework for sentence stress detection (SSD) that integrates auxiliary word stress detection (WSD) to improve prosodic cue utilization. This approach addresses the common practice of treating SSD and WSD as separate tasks, despite their shared reliance on pitch, duration, and intensity. Experiments conducted on the TinyStress-15K benchmark demonstrated that the proposed method, particularly with its complete configuration incorporating a word-span stress regularizer (WSR), achieved superior results compared to existing baselines.
