Abstract

Das Zuordnen von Phonemen zu den sie erzeugenden Graphemen in einem Lexikon mit Wörtern (Graphemfolgen) und deren zugehöriger Lautschrift (Phonemfolgen) für die Vorbereitung von Mustern für das Training von Neuronalen Netzen zur Graphem-Phonem-Konvertierung wird mit einer Variante der dynamsichen Programmierung durchgeführt, die auch als dynamic time warping (DTW, dynamische Zeitanpassung) bekannt ist.

The assignment of phonemes to the graphemes they generate in a lexicon with words (grapheme sequences) and their associated phonetics (phoneme sequences) for the preparation of patterns for the training of neural networks for grapheme-phoneme conversion is carried out with a variant of dynamic programming, which is also known as dynamic time warping (DTW).
