English to Persian Transliteration
Persian is an Indo-European language written using Arabic script, and is an official language of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Transliteration of Persian to English—that is, the character-bycharacter mapping of a Persian word that is not readily available in a bilingual dictionary—is an unstudied problem. In this paper we make three novel contributions. First, we present performance compar...
متن کاملRapid adaptation to foreign-accented English.
This study explored the perceptual benefits of brief exposure to non-native speech. Native English listeners were exposed to English sentences produced by non-native speakers. Perceptual processing speed was tracked by measuring reaction times to visual probe words following each sentence. Three experiments using Spanish- and Chinese-accented speech indicate that processing speed is initially s...
متن کاملExploring Persian rug design using a computational evolutionary approach
Considering the art of Persian rug design as a computation creative design problem, with a vast domain space of possible design solutions that have aesthetic, cultural and historical considerations, we describe our dual stage genetic algorithm system for designing basic patterns of a specific type of Persian rugs. Our approach uses hard and soft design rules that we have been gleaned from the p...
متن کاملAcoustic modelling of English-accented and Afrikaans-accented South African English
In this paper we investigate whether it is possible to combine speech data from two South African accents of English in order to improve speech recognition in any one accent. Our investigation is based on Afrikaans-accented English and South African English speech data. We compare three acoustic modelling approaches: separate accent-specific models, accentindependent models obtained by straight...
متن کاملSpeaker-based accented English clustering using a world English archive
English is the only language available for global communication. Due to the influence of speakers’ mother tongue, however, those from different regions often have different accents in their pronunciation of English. The ultimate goal of our project is automatic creation of a global pronunciation map of World Englishes on an individual basis, for speakers to use to locate similar English pronunc...
