Analysis of GlobalPhone and Ethiopian Languages Speech Corpora for Multilingual ASR (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using global phone data, we can develop multilingual speech recognition systems in yet unsupported languages. |
| Approach: | They analyze phonetic overlaps between GlobalPhone and Ethiopian speech corpora to develop multilingual Automatic Speech Recognition system for the Ethiopian languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system will be able to support three different languages and have morphological complexity. |

| Challenge: | Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is one of the most important technologies to support spoken communication in modern life. |
| Approach: | They have developed four large speech corpora for four Ethiopian languages . they have word error rates of 37.65%, 31.03%, 38.02%, 33.89% for each language . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpora achieve word error rates of 37.65%, 31.03%, 38.02%, 33.89% for Amharic, Tigrigna, Oromo and Wolaytta. |

| Challenge: | Various approaches to machine translation have been and are being used in the research community, that can broadly classified as rule-based and corpus based. |
| Approach: | They propose to develop parallel corpora for English and Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigrigna, Afan-Oromo, Wolaytta and Ge’ez. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system improves on the English-Ethiopian languages. |
