  1. The ISLE Corpus of Non-Native Spoken English (2000 · 63 citations)
    Building pronunciation tutors that give learners specific corrective feedback requires recorded learner speech whose errors are marked in detail.
  2. Syllable-Based Speech Recognition for Amharic (2007 · 25 citations)
    The paper builds an automatic speech recognizer for Amharic, a Semitic language with few speech tools. Amharic script maps almost one-to-one onto consonant-vowel sounds. The authors use this property to choose CV syllables, not phones, as the acoustic units. After merging graphemes that sound the same, the 276-symbol…
  3. Amharic Part-of-Speech Tagger for Factored Language Modeling (2009 · 22 citations)
    Amharic is a Semitic language with root-and-pattern morphology and heavy affixation. This makes word-based language models suffer from sparse data and many unseen words. Earlier morpheme-based models lowered the out-of-vocabulary rate but lost dependencies between whole words. The authors therefore use factored…
