Pronunciation Learning from Continuous Speech
This paper explores the use of continuous speech data to learn stochastic lexicons. Building on previous work in which we augmented graphones with acoustic examples of isolated words, we extend our pronunciation mixture model framework to two domains containing spontaneous speech: a weather information retrieval spoken dialogue system and the academic lectures domain. We find that our learned l...
متن کاملLearning a language model from continuous speech
This paper presents a new approach to language model construction, learning a language model not from text, but directly from continuous speech. A phoneme lattice is created using acoustic model scores, and Bayesian techniques are used to robustly learn a language model from this noisy input. A novel sampling technique is devised that allows for the integrated learning of word boundaries and an...
متن کاملLearning Phonotactics Using ILP
This paper describes experiments on learning Dutch phonotactic rules using Inductive Logic Programming, a machine learning discipline based on inductive logical operators. Two different ways of approaching the problem are experimented with, and compared against each other as well as with related work on the task. The results show a direct correspodence between the quality and informedness of th...
متن کاملLearning Long Distance Phonotactics
Two questions regarding the non-local nature of long-distance agreement in consonantal harmony patterns (Hansson 2001, Rose and Walker 2004) are addressed: (1) How can such patterns be learned from surface forms alone? (2) How can we understand a a major feature of the typology—the absence of blocking effects? It is shown that a learner which generalizes only by making distinctions with respect...
متن کاملProduction Constraints on Learning Novel Onset Phonotactics Author's Personal Copy
Three experiments addressed the hypothesis that production factors constrain phonotactic learning in adult English speakers, and that this constraint gives rise to a markedness effect on learning. In Experiment 1, an acoustic measure was used to assess consonant–consonant coarticulation in naturally produced nonwords, which were then used as stimuli in a phonotactic learning experiment. Results...
