Aim. Phonetic deficits are one of the core language-cognitive symptoms at cognitive level aetiology dyslexia in variety languages and orthographies. The presented study examines possibilities diagnosis phonological Slovak language (similar to Czech Polish grapheme-phoneme rules) students upper secondary schools. comparison 237 non-dyslectics 149 dyslectics schools brings new stimulus for diagno...

In double naming tasks requiring the production of consecutive spoken and written responses to the same picture, subject ECA produced inconsistent lexical responses in the say-then-write (stimulus: organ; spoken response: “church;” written response: piano) but not in the write-then-say condition (organ ® piano ® “piano”). This observation, together with the fact that ECA had damage to the seman...

Censored Production Rule is an extension of standard production rule, which is concerned with problems of reasoning with incomplete information, subject to resource constraints and problem of reasoning efficiently with exceptions. A CPR has a form: IF A (Condition) THEN B (Action) UNLESS C (Censor), Where C is the exception condition. Fuzzy CPR are obtained by augmenting ordinary fuzzy producti...

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.

Artificial Neural Networks classifiers have many advantages such as: noise tolerance, possibility of parallelization, better training with a small quantity of data . . . . Coupling neural networks with an explanation component will increase its usage for those applications. The explanation capacity of neural networks is solved by extracting knowledge incorporated in the trained network [Andrews...

The automatic derivation of word pronunciations from input text is a central task for any text-to-speech system. For general English text at least, this is often thought to be a solved problem, with manually-derived linguistic rules assumed capable of handling “novel” words missing from the system dictionary. Data-driven methods, based on machine learning of the regularities implicit in a large...

This paper presents a distinctive phonetic features (DPFs) based phoneme recognition method by incorporating syllable language models (LMs). The method comprises three stages. The first stage extracts three DPF vectors of 15 dimensions each from local features (LFs) of an input speech signal using three multilayer neural networks (MLNs). The second stage incorporates an Inhibition/Enhancement (...

In this paper we investigate the automatic detection of phoneme boundaries in audio recordings of an unknown language. This work is motivated by the needs of the project BULB which aims to support linguists in documenting unwritten languages. The automatic phonemic transcription of recordings of the unwritten language is part of this. We cannot use multilingual phoneme recognizers as their phon...
