Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a coarse-grained transcription of speech is sufficient to replicate dialectal boundaries, but it can be generalised over by an automatic method. |
| Approach: | They propose to use two different methods to measure dialect similarity in Norwegian . they use the Levenshtein method and the neural long short term memory algorithm . the paper shows that coarse-grained transcriptions of speech can generate dialect maps . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can generalise over coarse-grained transcriptions, but it needs a large dataset . the proposed method is compared with canonical maps found in the dialect literature . |
