- Dhananjay Bansal, N. Nair, Rita Singh, B. Raj. 2009. A joint decoding algorithm for multiple-example-based addition of words to a pronunciation lexicon. Abstract: We propose an algorithm that enables joint Viterbi decoding of multiple independent audio recordings of a word to derive its pronunciation. Experiments show that this method results in better pronunciation estimation and word recognition accuracy than that obtained either with a single example of the word or using conventional approaches to pronunciation estimation using multiple examples.
