Unsupervised Word Discovery: Boundary Detection with Clustering vs. Dynamic Programming
Simon Malan, Benjamin van Niekerk, Herman Kamper
We look at the long-standing problem of segmenting unlabeled speech into word-like segments and clustering these into a lexicon. Several previous methods use a scoring model couple…
Spoken-Term Discovery using Discrete Speech Units
Benjamin van Niekerk, Julian Zaïdi, Marc-André Carbonneau +1
Discovering a lexicon from unlabeled audio is a longstanding challenge for zero-resource speech processing. One approach is to search for frequently occurring patterns in speech. W…
Revisiting speech segmentation and lexicon learning with better features
Herman Kamper, Benjamin van Niekerk
We revisit a self-supervised method that segments unlabelled speech into word-like segments. We start from the two-stage duration-penalised dynamic programming method that performs…
