Speech:Spring 2011 Corey Log

Week Ending March 29th, 2011
My task for this iteration was to generate a dictionary of phonetic spelling from our Mini Switchboard training and test sets.
 * Task:

I really didn’t get any results because I spent the entire time trying to figure out what I needed to do. I got a basic description of what I was to do, but I got absolutely no help. I emailed questions multiple times but I got no responses so I was pretty well lost for this whole thing.
 * Results:

My plan for next iteration is to run decoding of the build Mini models.
 * Plan:

My biggest concerns going forward are; one being able to actually get a response from my team mates and my professor, and two finding time in my extremely busy schedule (classes Mon and Tues, internship Wed and Fri mornings and Thurs all day, and work Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun) to work on this project while also doing projects and homework in my other classes. I can’t be expected to focus all of my time and energy on just this one class because then everything else will suffer.
 * Concerns:

Bmq29Corey, don't know if this works for you, but here's a sphinx dictionary. http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/models/hub4opensrc_jan2002/cmudict.06d

Saturday - First time this week I had time to log on with the server working. Read all of the logs people have posted.

Sunday - Read updated logs... no time to work on much of anything today.

Monday - Did some research on how to create a dictionary. Still not understanding it too much, so hopefully after my meeting with professor Jonas I will have a better understanding.

COMMENT: Mike-jonas 20:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC) I've moved everything into a "dictionary" directory on idefix. Inside you'll find "ms98_icis_word.text" which is the original transcripts, "dict.perl" which is the perl script I started to write and "uniq_words.txt" which is the list of unique words from the original transcripts. (I also added a bash shell script "create_uniq_words.sh" which I used to create "uniq_words.txt"...you can ignore it, just for future reference to see how the "uniq_words.txt" list was created).

Thursday - Tonight I did some research on Perl scripts, for use in creating scripts for being able to read each line (word) from the dictionary file and concatenate them into the new dictionary.

Monday - Trying to learn Perl so I can write this dictionary. It is very hard considering I have a basic idea of what is to be done. Now I have to scour the internet trying to find the info that will allow me to write this script.
