On the Choice of Modeling Unit for Sequence-to-Sequence Speech Recognition
, 2019 In conventional speech recognition, phoneme-based models outperform grapheme-based models for non-phonetic languages such as English. The performance gap between the two typically reduces as the amount of training data is increased.

Overreliance on Orthographic Similarity in L2‐Japanese Conceptual Processing by L1‐Chinese Learners
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Orthographic and phonological similarities between first (L1) and second (L2) languages can facilitate L2 processing. Particularly, L1‐Chinese learners of L2‐Japanese can benefit from the shared morphosyllabic Chinese characters (Japanese kanji/Chinese hanzi) because of their similar orthographies.

Early manifestations of unexpected bilingualism in minimally verbal autism
Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.Background Unexpected bilingualism (UB) in autism, in which children speak languages not spoken in their social environment, has been sporadically reported. UB implies that autistic children can acquire languages in a non‐socially interactive way. The early minimally verbal period in autism could be critical for non‐interactive language acquisition ...

Thai grapheme-based speech recognition [PDF]
Proceedings of the Human Language Technology Conference of the NAACL, Companion Volume: Short Papers on XX - NAACL '06, 2006 In this paper we present the results for building a grapheme-based speech recognition system for Thai. We experiment with different settings for the initial context independent system, different number of acoustic models and different contexts for the speech unit.

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.Abstract People with Parkinson disease (PD) after surgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN‐DBS) often decline in animal fluency due to impairments in executive functions and/or language. Item‐based measures of animal fluency may shed light on the specific nature of this decline, and into the strategies used when ...

A linguistic analysis of spelling errors in Grade 3 isiXhosa home-language learners
Reading & Writing, 2020 Background: Spelling is a vital component of literacy. This is because spelling includes multiple metalinguistic components, such as phoneme-grapheme awareness, orthographic awareness and morphophonemic knowledge.

Zero-shot keyword spotting for visual speech recognition in-the-wild
, 2018 Visual keyword spotting (KWS) is the problem of estimating whether a text query occurs in a given recording using only video information. This paper focuses on visual KWS for words unseen during training, a real-world, practical setting which so far has ...

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.Abstract We identified in two awake surgery cases a postoperative double dissociation between phonological and graphemic output buffer deficits. Using lesion‐symptom mapping from ischaemic mini‐strokes and preoperative tractography, we demonstrated that the phonological (resp. graphemic) disorder fitted with ventral (resp.

Towards the Metalanguage for Describing Text Vizualizations
Вестник Волгоградского государственного университета: Серия 2. Языкознание, 2018 The paper deals with supposedly basic categories of metagraphemics, a study of various means of visual transformation of a text using resources of variability of broadly understood alphabetic writing signs, as well as possibilities of semantic ...
