Acquiring Reusable Multilingual Phonotactic Resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a fully automatic procedure for acquiring reusable phonotactic resources from syllable annotated data. The procedure makes use of a regular inference algorithm and the acquired resources are stored in a specialised XML representation. The technique is then extended to support acquisition from phoneme labelled data while providing a semi-automatic annotation system assisting user annotations of phoneme labelled data with syllable boundaries.

A Language Independent Approach To Acquiring Phonotactic Resources for Speech Recognition
Building and developing linguistic resources for languages is of prime importance with many areas of application. This paper focusses on a fully automatic approach to the aquisition of a syllable phonotactics for a particular language. In this approach the phonotactic constraints for a language are encoded in a finite-state phonotactic automaton the structure of which can be automatically deriv...
متن کاملA testbed for developing multilingual phonotactic descriptions
This paper presents a testbed for developing multilingual phonotactic descriptions that employs finite state methods to represent the phonotactics of one or more languages. The motivation for this work is to make an extensive range of phonotactic descriptions of varying granularity available for speech technology applications. We discuss the design of the phonotactic testbed and how various mod...

متن کاملEnabling technology for multilingual natural language generation: the KPML development environment
Natural language generation is now moving away from research prototypes into more practical applications. Generation functionality is also being asked to play a more signi cant role in established applications such as machine translation. In both cases, multilingual generation techniques have much to o er. However, the take-up of multilingual generation is being restricted by a critical lack bo...
متن کاملPhonetic knowledge, phonotactics an automatic language id
This study explores a multilingual phonotactic approach to automatic language identification using Broadcast News data. The definition of a multilingual phoneset is discussed and an upper limit on the performance of the phonotactic approach is estimated by eliminating any degradation due to recognition errors. This upper bound is compared to automatic language identification based on a phonotac...
