Phonologic Patterns of Brazilian Portuguese: a grapheme to phoneme converter based study
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents Brazilian Portuguese phoneme patterns of distribution, according to an automatic grammar rulesbased grapheme to phoneme converter. The software Nhenhém (Vasilévski, 2008) was used for treating data: written texts which were decoded into phonologic symbols, forming a corpus, and subjected to a statistical analysis. Results support the high level of predictability of Brazilian Portuguese phonemes distribution, the consonantvowel syllabic pattern as the most common, as well as the stress pattern distribution 'CV.CV#. The efficiency of a phoneme-grapheme converter based entirely on rules is also proven. These results are displayed and discussed, as well as some aspects of Nhe-nhém building.

Phoneme-to-grapheme Conversion for Out-of-vocabulary Words in Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition
In this paper, we describe a method to enhance the readability of the textual output in a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system when out-of-vocabulary words occur. The basic idea is to replace uncertain words in the transcriptions with a phoneme recognition result that is postprocessed using a phoneme-to-grapheme converter. This converter turns phoneme strings into grapheme stri...

We aim to develop a Speech-to-Speech translation system between Modern Standard Arabic and Algiers dialect. Such a system must include a Text-to-Speech module which itself must include a Grapheme-to-Phoneme converter. Algiers dialect is an Arabic dialect concerned by the most problems of Modern Standard Arabic in NLP area. Furthermore, it could be considered as an under-resourced language becau...
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 کاملDevelopment of a phoneme-to-phoneme (p2p) converter to improve the grapheme-to-phoneme (g2p) conversion of names
It is acknowledged that a good phonemic transcription of proper names is imperative for the success of many modern speech-based services such as directory assistance, car navigation, etc. It is also known that state-of-the-art general-purpose grapheme-to-phoneme (g2p) converters perform rather poorly on many name categories. This paper proposes to use a g2p-p2p tandem comprising a state-ofthe-a...
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...
