Title
Manual and semi-automatic approaches to building a multilingual phoneme set
Abstract
The paper addresses manual and semi-automatic approaches to building a multilingual phoneme set for automatic speech recognition. The first approach involves mapping and reduction of the phoneme set based on IPA and expert knowledge, the later one involves phoneme confusion matrix generated by a neural network. The comparison is done for 8 languages selected from GlobalPhone on three scenarios: 1) multilingual system with abundant data for all the languages, 2) multilingual systems excluding target language 3) multilingual systems with small amount of data for target languages. For 3), the multilingual system brought improvement for languages close enough to the others in the set.
