Improving syllabification models with phonotactic knowledge [PDF]
Proceedings of the Eighth Meeting of the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Phonology and Morphology - SIGPHON '06, 2006 We report on a series of experiments with probabilistic context-free grammars predicting English and German syllable structure. The treebank-trained grammars are evaluated on a syllabification task. The grammar used by Muller (2002) serves as point of comparison.

This paper uses data of spontaneous speech to reveal that syllabification would be better understood when it is considered within the larger frame of prosody.

Automatic syllabification of Portuguese
Revista da Associação Portuguesa de Linguística, 2016 This paper presents the first open-source implementation of an automatic process for the syllabification of Portuguese. To accomplish this, two approaches were adopted, implemented and compared: a rule-based and a machine learning one. The resulting tool is made freely available as an open-source software and as a free online linguistic service.
