Speech is like a box of
Pronunciation variability is present in both native and foreign words. Since pronunciation variability constitutes a problem for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, modeling pronunciation variation for ASR has been the topic of various studies. In most studies, modeling pronunciation variation was attempted within the standard framework used in mainstream ASR systems. Given that some as...
متن کاملStudy on Framework for Chinese Pronunciation Variation Modeling
The pronunciation variations, which badly influenced the performance of ASR system, are serious in continuous speech, especially in spontaneous speech. Many research works are focused on pronunciation variation modeling in recent years. A framework for Chinese pronunciation variation modeling is described in this paper. The main idea is that the pronunciation variations are hidden in the recogn...
متن کاملModeling Pronunciation Variation for Cantonese Speech Recognition
Due to the large variability of pronunciation in spontaneous speech, pronunciation modeling becomes a more challenging and essential part in speech recognition. In this paper, we describe two different approaches of pronunciation modeling by using decision tree. At lexical level, a pronunciation variation dictionary is built to obtain alternative pronunciations for each word, in which each entr...
متن کاملA study of implicit and explicit modeling of coarticulation and pronunciation variation
In this paper, we focus on the modeling of coarticulation and pronunciation variation in Automatic Speech Recognition systems (ASR). Most ASR systems explicitly describe these production phenomena through context-dependent phoneme models and multiple pronunciation lexicons. Here, we explore the potential benefit of using feature spaces covering longer time segments in terms of implicit modeling...
متن کاملPronunciation variation in ASR: which variation to model?
This paper describes how the performance of a continuous speech recognizer for Dutch has been improved by modeling within-word and cross-word pronunciation variation. A relative improvement of 8.8% in WER was found compared to baseline system performance. However, as WERs do not reveal the full effect of modeling pronunciation variation, we performed a detailed analysis of the differences in re...
متن کاملImproving the Performance of a Dutch Csr by Modeling Pronunciation Variation
This paper describes how the performance of a continuous speech recognizer for Dutch has been improved by modeling pronunciation variation. We used three methods in order to model pronunciation variation. First, withinword variation was dealt with. Phonological rules were applied to the words in the lexicon, thus automatically generating pronunciation variants. Secondly, cross-word pronunciatio...
