Construction and analysis of multiple paths in syllable models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we construct multi-path syllable models using phonetic knowledge for initialising the parallel paths, and a data-driven solution for their re-estimation. We hypothesise that the richer topology of multi-path syllable models would be better at accounting for pronunciation variation than context-dependent phone models that can only account for the effects of left and right neighbours. We show that parallel paths that are initialised with phonetic knowledge and then re estimated do indeed result in different trajectories in feature space. Yet, this does not result in better recognition performance. We suggest explanations for this finding, and provide the reader with important insights into the issues playing a role in pronunciation variation modelling with multi-path syllable models.

Multi-Syllable Phonotactic Modelling
This paper describes a novel approach to constructing phonotactic models. The underlying theoretical approach to phonological description is the multi-syllable approach in which multiple syllable classes are deened that reeect phonotactically idiosyncratic syllable subcategories. A new nite-state formalism, ofs Modelling, is used as a tool for encoding, automatically constructing and generalisi...
متن کاملWeighted Optimal Path in Graph with Multiple Indexes
This paper represents a technique for finding optimal paths with multiple indexes in a graph. Up to the present time, all optimal paths have been determined upon one index, say, distance for which an evaluation method exists. In this paper firstly we define multiple indexes for each edge in such a way that anyone can treat the factor for assigning an optimal path. Here, we use Data Envelopment ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Frequency Leakage in Different Optical Paths of Nano-Metrology Systems Based on Frequency-Path Models
The drawing of frequency-path (F-P) models of optical beams is an approach for nonlinearity analysis in nano-metrology systems and sensors based on the laser interferometers. In this paper, the frequency-path models of four nano-metrology laser interferometry systems are designed, analyzed and simulated, including ...
متن کاملSyllable structure in Old, Middle and Modern Persian: A contrastive analysis
Evolution of languages has always been of interest to linguists. In this paper we study the natural progress of the syllable structure from Old Persian (O.P) to Middle Persian (Mi.P) and up to the Modern Persian (Mo.P). For this purpose all the words containing consonant sequences are collected from specific sources of each of these languages, and then analysed according to the syllab...
متن کاملMulti-path Syllable Models Based on Phonetic Knowledge
Recent research suggests that syllable-length acoustic models might be more appropriate for pronunciation variation modelling than the context-dependent phones that conventional automatic speech recognisers use. In this paper, we compare the recognition performance of two types of recognisers: a conventional recogniser that only uses triphones, and an experimental recogniser that employs a mix ...
