On Modeling the Synergy Between Acoustic and Lexical Information for Pronunciation Lexicon Development

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech systems require a pronunciation lexicon that maps each word to a sequence of phones. Manual development of lexicons is costly as it needs linguistic knowledge and human expertise. To fa ...

Towards Producing Human-Validated Translation Resources for the Fula language through WordNet Linking

Martin Benjamin, Khalil Mrini

We propose methods to link automatically parsed linguistic data to the WordNet. We apply these methods on a trilingual dictionary in Fula, English and French. Dictionary entry parsing is used to collect the linguistic data. Then we connect it to the Open M ...

Problems and Procedures to Make Wordnet Data (Retro)Fit for a Multilingual Dictionary

Martin Benjamin

The data compiled through many Wordnet projects can be a rich source of seed information for a multilingual dictionary. However, the original Princeton WordNet was not intended as a dictionary per se, and spawning other languages from it introduces inheren ...

Acoustic and Lexical Resource Constrained ASR using Language-Independent Acoustic Model and Language-Dependent Probabilistic Lexical Model

Mathew Magimai Doss, Ramya Rasipuram

One of the key challenges involved in building statistical automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems is modeling the relationship between subword units or “lexical units” and acoustic feature observations. To model this relationship two types of resources ...

On Learning Grapheme-to-Phoneme Relationships through the Acoustic Speech Signal

Mathew Magimai Doss, Ramya Rasipuram

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, through use of the phoneme as an intermediary unit representation, split the problem of modeling the relationship between the written form, i.e., the text and the acoustic speech signal into two disjoint processe ...

Multilingual Lexicography with a Focus on Less-Resourced Languages: Data Mining, Expert Input, Crowdsourcing, and Gamification

Martin Benjamin

This paper looks at the challenges that the Kamusi Project faces for acquiring open lexical data for less-resourced languages (LRLs), of a range, depth, and quality that can be useful within Human Language Technology (HLT). These challenges include accessi ...

Grapheme-based Automatic Speech Recognition using Probabilistic Lexical Modeling

Ramya Rasipuram

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems incorporate expert knowledge of language or the linguistic expertise through the use of phone pronunciation lexicon (or dictionary) where each word is associated with a sequence of phones. The creation of phone pr ...

Annotating the meaning of discourse connectives by looking at their translation: The translation-spotting technique

Thomas Meyer

The various meanings of discourse connectives like while and however are difficult to identify and annotate, even for trained human annotators. This problem is all the more important that connectives are salient textual markers of cohesion and need to be c ...

Epitaxial laser treatment of single crystal nickel-base superalloys

Sélim Mokadem

The continued drive for increased efficiency, performance and reduced costs for aircraft and industrial gas turbines demands extended use of high temperature materials, such as single crystal nickel based superalloys. The cost for hot section components us ...
