On deriving a phoneme model for a new language
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for building an initial phoneme model for training an HMM in a new language using an already trained recognition system in a base language. HMM based phoneme recognition systems are used to model the phonemes in most large vocabulary speech recognition tasks. Mappings between the phonetic spaces of the two languages are generated and are used to populate the phonetic space of the new language. The best possible alignment of the new language data is obtained and initial phone models are built on this labeled data. A classification experiment is performed in the new language to illustrate the goodness of initial phone models. Experiments are carried out with Hindi as the new language using an English language recognition system to derive the initial phone models for Hindi language.

Allophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملA new methodology for deriving the efficient frontier of stocks portfolios: An advanced risk-return model
In this paper after a general literature review on the concept of Efficient Frontier (EF), an important inadequacy of the Variance based models for deriving EFs and the high necessity for applying another risk measure is exemplified. In this regard for this study the risk measure of Lower Partial Moment of the first order is decided to replace Variance. Because of the particular shape of the pr...
متن کاملDERIVING THE EQUATION OF STATE FOR LIQUIDS AND EXTENSION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDING STATES
A new simple model is introduced for a liquid and an equation of state is derived based on this model and the statistical mechanical calculations. This equation of state works well for the non-polar and slightly polar liquids. The important conclusion that may be deduced from this equation of state is that if the reduced variables of state are chosen and defined appropriately, then, the pri...
متن کاملImproving Phoneme Sequence Recognition using Phoneme Duration Information in DNN-HSMM
Improving phoneme recognition has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its applications in various fields of speech processing. Recent research achievements show that using deep neural network (DNN) in speech recognition systems significantly improves the performance of these systems. There are two phases in DNN-based phoneme recognition systems including training and testing. Mos...
متن کاملAsynchronous-transition Hmm for Acoustic Modeling
We propose a new class of hidden Markov model (HMM) which we call Asynchronous-Transition HMM (AT-HMM) to model asynchronous temporal structure of acoustic feature sequences. Conventional HMM models a sequence of feature vectors, while temporally changing patterns of acoustic features do not necessarily synchronize with each other. In this paper, AT-HMMs with and without sequential constraints ...
