Abstract

The research reported in this paper presents a method to identify poly- and mono-phonemes for four European languages. The functionality of the poly-phonemes is tested in two experiments, and a limited set of mono-phonemes is identified for a language-identification experiment. Ten acoustically-similar speech sounds were identified across the four languages British-English, Danish, German, and Italian. These sounds, which constitute a substantial proportion of the phonemes of each language, are designated as (language independent) poly-phonemes, and may serve as a multi-lingual training base for labelling and recognition systems. The remaining sounds of each language, which do not fulfil the similarity conditions, are dubbed mono-phonemes. Two application experiments were conducted. In the first the poly-phonemes are applied in a label alignment task. In the second a small selected of mono-phonemes for each of the four languages is used in a preliminary test of the ability of these sets to serve as language discriminators.<>

数据驱动聚类技术在四种欧洲语言多音位和单音位识别中的应用

本文提出了一种识别四种欧洲语言的多音素和单音素的方法。在两个实验中测试了多音素的功能，并在语言识别实验中识别了一组有限的单音素。在英国、丹麦、德国和意大利四种语言中，发现了十种声学上相似的语音。这些声音构成了每种语言的很大一部分音素，被指定为(独立于语言的)多音素，并可作为多语言标记和识别系统的训练基地。每种语言中不满足相似条件的其余声音被称为单音素。进行了两次应用试验。在第一种方法中，多音素应用于标签对齐任务。在第二部分中，四种语言中的每一种都选择了一小部分单音素，用于初步测试这些集作为语言鉴别器的能力。
