چکیده
We report on an implemented grapheme-to-phoneme conversion architecture. Given a set of examples (spelling words with their associated phonetic representation) in a language, a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion system is automatically produced for that language which takes as its input the spelling of words, and produces as its output the phonetic transcription according to the rules implicit in the training data. This paper describes the architecture and focuses on our solution to the alignment problem: given the spelling and the phonetic trancription of a word (often diiering in length), these two representations have to be aligned in such a way that grapheme symbols or strings of grapheme symbols are consistently associated with the same phonetic symbol. If this alignment has to be done by hand, it is extremely labour-intensive.

متن کاملIntegrating Thai grapheme based acoustic models into the ML-MIX framework - for language independent and cross-language ASR
Grapheme based speech recognition is a powerful tool for rapidly creating automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in new languages. For purposes of language independent or cross language speech recognition it is necessary to identify similar models in the different languages involved. For phoneme based multilingual ASR systems this is usually achieved with the help of a language independent ...

متن کاملInvestigations on joint-multigram models for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion
We present a fully data-driven, language independent way of building a grapheme-to-phoneme converter. We apply the joint-multigram approach to the alignment problem and use standard language modelling techniques to model transcription probabilities. We study model parameters, training procedures and effects of corpus size in detail. Experiments were conducted on English and German pronunciation...
