Data-driven Pronunciation Generation for ASR
 Obedkova, Maria ; Plátek, Ondřej (advisor) ; Peterek, Nino (referee)
Data-Driven Pronunciation Generation for ASR Maria Obedkova In ASR systems, dictionaries are usually used to describe pronunciations of words in a language. These dictionaries are typically hand-crafted by linguists. One of the most significant drawbacks of dictionaries created this way is that linguistically motivated pronunciations are not necessarily the optimal ones for ASR. The goal of this research was to explore approaches of data-driven pro- nunciation generation for ASR. We investigated several approaches of lexicon generation and implemented the completely new data-driven solution based on the pronunciation clustering. We proposed an approach for feature extraction and researched different unsupervised methods for pronunciation clustering. We evaluated the proposed approach and compared it with the current hand-crafted dictionary. The proposed data-driven approach could beat the established base- lines but underperformed in comparison to the hand-crafted dictionary which could be due to unsatisfactory features extracted from data or insufficient fine tuning. 1

Improving text-to-speech in spoken dialogue systems by employing user's feedback
 Hudeček, Vojtěch ; Žabokrtský, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Peterek, Nino (referee)
Although spoken dialogue systems have greatly improved, they still cannot handle communications involving unknown topics. One of the problems is, that they experience difficulties when they should pronounce unknown words. We will investigate methods that can improve spoken dialogue systems by correcting the pronunciation of unknown words. This is a crucial step to provide a better user experience, since for example mispronounced proper nouns are highly undesirable. Incorrect pronunciation is caused by imperfect phonetic representation of the word. We aim to detect incorrectly pronounced words, use knowledge about the pronunciation and user's feedback and correct the transcriptions accordingly. Furthermore, the learned phonetic transcriptions can be added to the speech recognition module's vocabulary. Thus extracting correct pronunciations benefits both speech recognition and text-to-speech components of the dialogue systems.
