Dictionary-Constrained Grapheme-to-Phoneme for Unsegmented Languages from LLM-Annotated Data

The paper introduces a context‑aware neural grapheme‑to‑phoneme (G2P) system for unsegmented languages like Japanese, combining a discriminative conditional random field over a dictionary‑based word lattice with large language model‑generated training data. By generating over two million synthetic sentences, the method addresses data scarcity and achieves superior performance compared to traditional morphological analyzers and neural sequence models. On the Joyo‑Kanji‑Yomi benchmark, it attains 99.62% target word reading accuracy, 0.32% target word phoneme error rate, and 0.14% sentence phoneme error rate.

Dictionary-Constrained Grapheme-to-Phoneme for Unsegmented Languages from LLM-Annotated Data

The paper introduces a context‑aware neural grapheme‑to‑phoneme (G2P) system for unsegmented languages like Japanese, using a discriminative conditional random field over a word lattice built from dictionaries. It addresses data scarcity by generating over two million sentences with large language models. Experiments show the method surpasses traditional morphological analyzers and neural sequence models, achieving 99.62% target word reading accuracy and very low phoneme error rates on the Joyo‑Kanji‑Yomi benchmark.
