ABSTRACT:
The assignment of phonemes to graphemes producing them in a lexicon having words (grapheme sequences) and their associated phonetic transcription (phoneme sequences) for the preparation of patterns for training neural networks for the purpose of grapheme-phoneme conversion is carried out with the aid of a variant of dynamic programming which is known as dynamic time warping (DTW).
