چکیده
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.

Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion based on TBL algorithm in Mandarin TTS system
Grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion is an important component in a Text-to-Speech (TTS) system. The difficulty in Chinese G2P conversion is to pick out one correct pronunciation from several candidates according to the context information. By evaluating the distribution of polyphones in a corpus with manually corrected pinyin transcriptions, this paper pointed out that the overall error rate o...
متن کاملUsing machine learning techniques for grapheme to phoneme transcription
The renewed interest in grapheme to phoneme conversion (G2P), due to the need of developing multilingual speech synthesizers and recognizers, suggests new approaches more efficient than the traditional rule&exception ones. A number of studies have been performed to investigate the possible use of machine learning techniques to extract phonetic knowledge in a automatic way starting from a lexico...
متن کاملMulti-lingual testing of a self-learning approach to phonemic transcription of orthography
A Self-Learning system for Grapheme to Phoneme conversion is described and tested. The system acquires the knowledge needed for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion from a training session in which a large number of pairs of grapheme strings and their corresponding (manually verified) phonemic transcription strings are presented to the system. The result from the training is a stochastic decision tre...
متن کاملConversion from phoneme based to grapheme based acoustic models for speech recognition
This paper focuses on acoustic modeling in speech recognition. A novel approach how to build grapheme based acoustic models with conversion from existing phoneme based acoustic models is proposed. The grapheme based acoustic models are created as weighted sum from monophone acoustic models. The influence of particular monophone is determined with the phoneme to grapheme confusion matrix. Furthe...
متن کاملDesigning very compact decision trees for grapheme-to-phoneme transcription
Decision trees are a popular technique for automatic generation of a phonetic transcription for a given word spelling. We investigate different methods of decision tree design to obtain more compact trees and at the same time better graphemeto-phoneme transcription quality. We evaluate different approaches to decision tree question selection and pruning using one English and two German grapheme...
