A Procedure Of An Automatic Grapheme-To-Phoneme Transformation Of German
نویسندگان
چکیده
The automatic transformation of texts graphemically stored to the corresponding phonemic symbols will enable the speech synthesizer Rosy 4000 (.developed by VEB Robotron Dres~ den) to extend its field of application (application in information systems, development of reading machines for the blind). The texts for this kind of application cannot be limi~ ted in any way a fact which had to be taken into account concerning the methods suitable for such a procedure. The use of the d_%ctionary method, that means storing the whole vocabulary needed together with the corresponding phonemic strings was impossible for this purpose.

Automatic detection of anglicisms for the pronunciation dictionary generation: a case study on our German IT corpus
With the globalization more and more words from other languages come into a language without assimilation to the phonetic system of the new language. To economically build up lexical resources with automatic or semi-automatic methods, it is important to detect and treat them separately. Due to the strong increase of Anglicisms, especially from the IT domain, we developed features for their auto...
متن کاملMethods for efficient semi-automatic pronunciation dictionary bootstrapping
In this paper we propose efficient methods which contribute to a rapid and economic semi-automatic pronunciation dictionary development and evaluate them on English, German, Spanish, Vietnamese, Swahili, and Haitian Creole. First we determine optimal strategies for the word selection and the period for the grapheme-to-phoneme model retraining. In addition to the traditional concatenation of sin...
متن کاملA language-independent probabilistic model for automatic conversion between graphemic and phonemic transcription of words
In this paper we present a novel language-independent probabilistic model for automatic grapheme-to-phoneme and phoneme-to-grapheme conversion of words. In a fully unsupervised training procedure, two processes are applied; the transformation rules, which usually fail to provide the correct symbols, are eliminated, and new variable-length string transformation rules are defined improving the st...
متن کاملDesigning very compact decision trees for grapheme-to-phoneme transcription
Decision trees are a popular technique for automatic generation of a phonetic transcription for a given word spelling. We investigate different methods of decision tree design to obtain more compact trees and at the same time better graphemeto-phoneme transcription quality. We evaluate different approaches to decision tree question selection and pruning using one English and two German grapheme...
متن کاملStatistical Grapheme to Phoneme Conversion using Language Origin
This report describes a method for grapheme to phoneme conversion using statistical models of pronunciation. The available techniques for this conversion are first described and examples of each are given. A baseline system which uses Hidden Markov Models to represent phonemes in English is described and evaluated. The results from the baseline system serve to replicate previous research and to...
