Comparing direct G2P with G2P followed by accent conversion when determining pronunciations for South African English
It has been shown that techniques known as grapheme-and-phoneme-to-phoneme (GP2P) conversion can be used to derive pronunciations in a poorly-resourced accent, such as South African English, using available pronunciations in better-resourced accents of the same language, such as British and American English. However if the pronunciation is not available in either accent, it must be obtained usi...
متن کاملLexicon Optimization for WFST-Based Speech Recognition Using Acoustic Distance Based Confusability Measure and G2P Conversion
In this paper, we propose a lexicon optimization method based on a confusability measure (CM) to develop a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system with unseen words. When a lexicon is built or expanded for unseen words by using grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion, the lexicon size increases since G2P is generally realized by 1-to-N-best mapping. Thus, the proposed method ...
متن کاملFailure transitions for joint n-gram models and G2p conversion
This work investigates two related issues in the area of WFSTbased G2P conversion. The first is the impact that the approach utilized to convert a target word to an equivalent finite-state machine has on downstream decoding efficiency. The second issue considered is the impact that the approach utilized to represent the joint n-gram model via the WFST framework has on the speed and accuracy of ...
متن کاملG2P Conversion of Proper Names Using Word Origin Information
Motivated by the fact that the pronunciation of a name may be influenced by its language of origin, we present methods to improve pronunciation prediction of proper names using word origin information. We train grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) models on language-specific data sets and interpolate the outputs. We perform experiments on US surnames, a data set where word origin variation occurs naturall...
متن کاملG2p conversion of names: what can we do (better)?
In this contribution it is shown that a good approach for the grapheme-to-phoneme conversion of proper names (e.g. person names, toponyms, etc), is to use a cascade of a general purpose grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) converter and a special purpose phoneme-to-phoneme (P2P) converter. The G2P produces an initial transcription that is then transformed by the P2P. The latter is automatically trained on...
