Abstract This paper constructs a diversified Japanese language course recommendation model based on the autoencoder network model using deep learning, which includes stack autoencoder, self-attention mechanism encoder, and relevance decoder. A system for evaluating the quality of Japanese language education was constructed using hierarchical analysis. The correlation between the Japanese listening test and the degree of innovation of diversified Japanese language education courses and the influence of the innovation of diversified Japanese language education courses on students’ Japanese language performance were analyzed, respectively. The study showed that the correlation coefficient between the Japanese listening test score and the diversified Japanese language education program was 0.865, and the students who received the diversified Japanese language education program scored 7 points higher than the students who received the traditional Japanese language education program.

Utterance variation and its stylistic features in Japanese language education using the dominant relevance approach

Abstract In this paper, based on the analysis of onomatopoeia in the Japanese language, based on the constructional and grammatical features of the Japanese language, combined with the teaching methods and characteristics of listening, reading and writing in the Japanese language, we utilize the dominant correlation degree method for the characterization of utterance change and its stylistic features. For semantic association, the local dominant association algorithm is employed. The logistic regression algorithm is used to train the two-layer classification model, and logistic regression, plain Bayes and support vector machine are chosen as the analysis and comparison algorithms to judge and analyze the semantics of utterances in Japanese language education. The two-layer classification model was examined to examine the impact of each index, and the word length of written and spoken language was scrutinized for learners and native speakers. The accuracy of each reached more than 99.8%, and the difference was controlled at 0.001. The size order of the word type coverage was Lo>Ns>Lw>Nx>Nr.

The reform of Japanese language teaching and the cultivation of intercultural communication skills in colleges and universities in the context of the Internet

Abstract The impact of changing Japanese language instruction in higher education institutions on students’ intercultural communication skills is examined in this paper using gray correlation. To create the gray correlation value matrix of the ideal response, a comparison study of the geometric relationships between the system data series and the geometry of the curves is done. The set of signals for the ideal response and the negative one is established by examining the specific steps of the ideal response approach. The multiplicative synthesis method was used to assign weights to the combinations of decision indicators, and the assignment formula was calculated. The results showed that 42% of the students wanted to learn everyday Japanese in Japanese language teaching, only 21% wanted to learn professional Japanese and industrial Japanese, and most of the learners preferred to improve their communicative ability through Japanese language teaching courses.
