Assessing agreement level between forced alignment models with data from endangered language documentation corpora
Christian DiCanio, Hosung Nam, D. H. Whalen, H. Timothy Bunnell, Jonathan D. Amith, Rey Castillo García · 2012
The authors used Yoloxochitl Mixtec elicitation material developed as part of Amith's National Science Foundation grant to test the ability of automated tools for phonetic segmentation to match hand-labeled segmentation. The success achieved by the automated alignment suggests that even the relative small sets of materials produced by language documentation efforts may be effectively labeled through automated processes.
