A Hybrid Approach to Grapheme-Phoneme Conversion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a simple and effective approach to the task of grapheme-tophoneme conversion based on a set of manually edited grapheme-phoneme mappings which drives not only the alignment of words and corresponding pronunciations, but also the segmentation of words during model training and application, respectively. The actual conversion is performed with the help of a conditional random field model, after which a language model selects the most likely string of grapheme-phoneme segment pairs from the set of hypotheses. We evaluate our approach by comparing it to a state-ofthe-art joint sequence model with respect to two different datasets of contemporary German and one of contemporary English.

Solving the Phoneme Conflict in Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion Using a Two-Stage Neural Network-Based Approach
To achieve high quality output speech synthesis systems, data-driven grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion is usually used to generate the phonetic transcription of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. To improve the performance of G2P conversion, this paper deals with the problem of conflicting phonemes, where an input grapheme can, in the same context, produce many possible output phonemes at the sa...

This paper describes a novel approach for grapheme to phoneme conversion using decision tree learning technique. The proposed approach, unlike the rule based approach, can generate rules spanning wider context and thus give better accuracy for the conversion.
متن کاملHybrid 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...
متن کاملGrapheme-to-Phoneme conversion, a knowledge-based approach
This paper reflects the results of an ongoing project at Högskolan i Skövde, aimed at the creation of a system for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion for Swedish, from a knowledge-based approach. The focus lies on development and implementation of an algorithm for parsing ortographic text, and phonetic rules for the transcription.
متن کاملRule-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...
