[smc-discuss] Language model and Acoustic model for Malayalam language for speech recognition system in CMU Sphinx

[Deepa P.Gopinath]

Speech recognition in any language, is a very difficult paradigm,
especially when it is continuous speech. Inter speaker variability and
intra speaker variability, make it very complex. Knowledge in linguistics,
phonology and phonotactics of the language is essential to develop a
system.
As for Malayalam, very little work is there in speech recognition field.
CDAC have done some work, but the research work is not available in public
domain. Bits and slices of works may have been done as academic projects.
Again that is not available for further research. So we have to start every
thing from scratch.
Sphinx engine is not the only choice. But since it is from CMU and since
work has been done in other Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi etc., as a
preliminary work in the language, this might be a good choice.
Feel free to contact for further consultation
