EVALITA 2011: Forced Alignment Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forced alignment both for words and phones is a challenging and interesting task for automatic speech processing systems because the difficulties introduced by natural speech are many and hard to deal with. Furthermore, forced alignment approaches have been tested on Italian just in a few studies. In this task, the main goal was to evaluate the performance offered by the proposed systems on Italian and their robustness in presence of noisy data.

The Evalita 2011 contest proposed two forced alignment tasks, word and phone segmentation, and two modalities, “open” and “closed”. A system for each combination of task and modality has been proposed and submitted for evaluation. Direct use of silence/activity detection in forced alignment has been tested. Positive effects were shown in the acoustic model training step, especially when dealing...
