- Rita Singh, E. Gouvêa, B. Raj. 2007. Probabilistic deduction of symbol mappings for extension of lexicons. Abstract: This paper proposes a statistical mapping-based technique for guessing pronunciations of novel words from their spellings. The technique is based on the automatic determination and utilization of unidirectional mappings between n-tuples of characters and n-tuples of phonemes, and may be viewed as a statistical extension of analogy-based pronunciation guessing algorithms.
