چکیده

Several characteristics of the Thai writing system make Thai grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion very challenging. In this paper, we propose an Example-Based Grapheme-toPhoneme conversion approach. It generates the pronunciation of a word by selecting, modifying and combining pronunciations from syllables from training corpus. The best system achieves 80.99% word accuracy and 94.19% phone accuracy which significantly outperform previous approaches for Thai.

Integrating Thai grapheme based acoustic models into the ML-MIX framework - for language independent and cross-language ASR

Grapheme based speech recognition is a powerful tool for rapidly creating automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems in new languages. For purposes of language independent or cross language speech recognition it is necessary to identify similar models in the different languages involved. For phoneme based multilingual ASR systems this is usually achieved with the help of a language independent ...

Rule-based Korean Grapheme to Phoneme Conversion Using Sound Patterns

Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion plays an important role in text-to-speech applications and other fields of computational linguistics. Although Korean uses a phonemic writing system, it must have a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion for speech synthesis because Korean writing system does not always reflect its actual pronunciations. This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme conversion method based o...

Thai Grapheme-Based Speech Recognition

In this paper we present the results for building a grapheme-based speech recognition system for Thai. We experiment with different settings for the initial context independent system, different number of acoustic models and different contexts for the speech unit. In addition, we investigate the potential of an enhanced tree clustering method as a way of sharing parameters across models. We com...

Hybrid Grapheme to Phoneme Conversion forUnlimited

Both dictionary-based and rule-based methods on grapheme-to-phoneme conversion have their own advantages and limitations. For example, a large sized phonetic dictionary and complex morphophonemic rules are required for the dictionary-based method and the LTS(letter to sound) rule-based method itself cannot model the complete morphophonemic constraints. This paper describes a grapheme-to-phoneme...
