Letter knowledge precipitates phoneme segmentation, but not phoneme invariance
There is a wealth of evidence linking letter knowledge and phoneme awareness, but there is little research examining the nature of this relationship. This article aims to elucidate this relationship by considering the links between letter knowledge and two sub-skills of phoneme awareness: phoneme segmentation and phoneme invariance. Two studies are reported. The first study consisted of an eigh...
متن کاملLetter-Phoneme Alignment: An Exploration
Letter-phoneme alignment is usually generated by a straightforward application of the EM algorithm. We explore several alternative alignment methods that employ phonetics, integer programming, and sets of constraints, and propose a novel approach of refining the EM alignment by aggregation of best alignments. We perform both intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation of the assortment of methods. We sh...
متن کاملLetter-to-Phoneme Conversion Based on Two-Stage Neural Network Focusing on Letter and Phoneme Contexts
The improvement of Letter-To-Phoneme (L2P) conversion that can output the phoneme strings corresponding to Out-OfVocabulary (OOV) words, especially in English language, has become one of the most important issues in Text-To-Speech (TTS) research. In this paper, we propose a Two-Stage Neural Network (NN) based approach to solve the problem of conflicting output at a phonemic level. Both Letter a...
متن کاملMetric learning for unsupervised phoneme segmentation
Unsupervised phoneme segmentation aims at dividing a speech stream into phonemes without using any prior knowledge of linguistic contents and acoustic models. In [1], we formulated this problem into an optimization framework, and developed an objective function, summation of squared error (SSE) based on the Euclidean distance of cepstral features. However, it is unknown whether or not Euclidean...
متن کاملBlind Phoneme Segmentation With Temporal Prediction Errors
Phonemic segmentation of speech is a critical step of speech recognition systems. We propose a novel unsupervised algorithm based on sequence prediction models such as Markov chains and recurrent neural networks. Our approach consists in analyzing the error profile of a model trained to predict speech features frameby-frame. Specifically, we try to learn the dynamics of speech in the MFCC space...
