Query: Minimally Supervised Written-to-Spoken Text Normalization   In speech-applications such as text-to-speech (TTS) or automatic speech
recognition (ASR), \emph{text normalization} refers to the task of converting
from a \emph{written} representation into a representation of how the text is
to be \emph{spoken}. In all real-world speech applications, the text
normalization engine is developed---in large part---by hand. For example, a
hand-built grammar may be used to enumerate the possible ways of saying a given
token in a given language, and a statistical model used to select the most
appropriate pronunciation in context. In this study we examine the tradeoffs
associated with using more or less language-specific domain knowledge in a text
normalization engine. In the most data-rich scenario, we have access to a
carefully constructed hand-built normalization grammar that for any given token
will produce a set of all possible verbalizations for that token. We also
assume a corpus of aligned written-spoken utterances, from which we can train a
ranking model that selects the appropriate verbalization for the given context.
As a substitute for the carefully constructed grammar, we also consider a
scenario with a language-universal normalization \emph{covering grammar}, where
the developer merely needs to provide a set of lexical items particular to the
language. As a substitute for the aligned corpus, we also consider a scenario
where one only has the spoken side, and the corresponding written side is
"hallucinated" by composing the spoken side with the inverted normalization
grammar. We investigate the accuracy of a text normalization engine under each
of these scenarios. We report the results of experiments on English and
Russian.
