Slavic languages pose several specific challenges that need to be addressed in an ASR system design. Since we have already built an engine suited for highly-inflected languages, we focus on adopting it for new languages, now. In this case, we present an efficient way to adapt the system to all (seven) South Slavic languages, using methods and tools that benefit from language similarities, easil...

The problems of n-gram models for the OCR and speech recognition for the Slavic languages are investigated. The paper proposes methods applicable for most Slavic languages. Two approaches are tested: filtering of the n-gram model and the alternative ways of carrying out the smoothing. The filtering relies on heuristics based on frequencies and morphological features of words. The smoothing uses...

Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial/ethnic group in the US, representing 6.3% of the population (20.0 million/318.7 million) in 2014.1 In contrast to Hispanics, the rapid growth of the Asian American population is driven by immigration as opposed to native births.2 The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) population (1.5 million) is also among the fastestgrowing groups.1, 3 Th...

In this paper we present the on-going grammar engineering project in our group for developing in parallel resource precision grammars for Slavic languages. The project utilizes DELPH-IN software (LKB/[incr tsdb()]) as the grammar development platform, and has strong affinity to the LinGO Grammar Matrix project. It is innovative in that we focus on a closed set of related but extremely diverse l...

Deixis expressed by three definite articles is a well-known characteristic of the Pomak varieties, given the absence of grammaticalized definite markers in most Slavic languages. In this paper, we present a practically unknown use of deixis in Slavic languages, namely the use of deictic suffixes in the formation of temporal subordinate conjunctions in Pomak. The deictic suffixes in the temporal...
