A Transformation-Based Learning Method on Generating Korean Standard Pronunciation

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a Transformation-Based Learning (TBL) method on generating the Korean standard pronunciation. Previous studies on the phonological processing have been focused on the phonological rule applications and the finite state automata (Johnson 1984; Kaplan and Kay 1994; Koskenniemi 1983; Bird 1995). In case of Korean computational phonology, some former researches have approached the phonological rule based pronunciation generation system (Lee et al. 2005; Lee 1998). This study suggests a corpus-based and data-oriented rule learning method on generating Korean standard pronunciation. In order to substituting rule-based generation with corpusbased one, an aligned corpus between an input and its pronunciation counterpart has been devised. We conducted an experiment on generating the standard pronunciation with the TBL algorithm, based on this aligned corpus.

Automatic rule-based generation of word pronunciation networks
In this paper a method for generating word pronunciation networks for speech recognition is proposed. The networks incorporate different acceptable pronunciation variants for each word. These variants are determined by applying pronunciation rules to the standard pronunciation of the words. Instead of a manual search, an automatic learning procedure is used to compose a sensible set of rules. T...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of CALL/Web-based instruction on improving EFL learners’ pronunciation ability. To this end, 85 students who were enrolled in a language institute in Rasht were selected as subjects. These students were given the Oxford Placement Test in order to validate their proficiency levels. They were then divided into two groups of 30 and were...
متن کاملStatistical Modeling of Pronunciation Variation by Hierarchical Grouping Rule Inference
In this paper, a data-driven approach to statistical modeling pronunciation variation is proposed. It consists of learning stochastic pronunciation rules. The proposed method jointly models different rules that define the same transformation. Hierarchic Grouping Rule Inference (HIEGRI) algorithm is proposed to generate this model based on graphs. HIEGRI algorithm detects the common patterns of ...
متن کاملPronunciation Modeling In Speech Synthesis
This dissertation investigates the area of pronunciation modeling in speech synthesis. By pronunciation modeling, we mean architectures and principles for generating high-quality human-like pronunciations. The term pronunciation modeling has previously been applied in the context of speech recognition (e.g. Byrne et al. 1997). In that context, it describes theories and procedures for handling t...
