ABSTRACT:
Generating words and/or names, comprising: receiving at least one corpus based on a given language; generating a plurality of N-grams of phonemes and a plurality of frequencies of occurrence using the corpus, such that each frequency of occurrence corresponds to a respective pair of phonemes and indicates the frequency of the second phoneme in the pair following the first phoneme in the pair; generating a phoneme tree using the plurality of N-grams of phonemes and the plurality of frequencies of occurrence; performing a random walk on the phoneme tree using the frequencies of occurrence to generate a sequence of phonemes; and mapping the sequence of phonemes into a sequence of graphemes.
