This paper presents a large vocabulary automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for Myanmar. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such system for the Myanmar language. We will report main processes of developing the system, including data collection, pronunciation lexicon construction, effective acoustic features selection, acoustic and language modelings, and evaluation criteria. Considering...
This paper investigates the effect of taking a strictly monotonic approach to machine translation for a restricted set of suitable language pairs. We studied the effect of decoding monotonically for a set of language pairs which has similar word order characteristics and found that for some language pairs - namely language pairs where both languages are in SOV order - there was almost no difference...
In this paper, a comprehensive study on the effect of plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposited SiN surface passivation on the bias-dependent small-signal equivalent-circuit elements is carried out for AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors on a high-resistivity silicon substrate. The direct-current and small-signal performance of the device was found to be improved by surface passivation. The...
We introduce a first ever soft keyboard for stylus-based devices such as personal digital assistant (PDA) for Khmer, official language of Cambodia. The contribution of this study is twofold - a key layout arrangement and a word-based predictive text entry method. First, we design a non-QWERTY key layout in which consonants and vowels are grouped phonetically and orthographically, respectively. As...
This paper begins with a discussion on the difficulties in applying word-based text entry method for Khmer, official language of Cambodia. Then, we propose a word-based predictive method based on careful analysis on the structure of current Khmer typing system. To evaluate the proposed text entry, we designed and implemented two interface prototypes; the 12-key mobile phone interface and the stylus-based...
In the next generation network (NGN), various kinds of advanced smart mobile terminals will be used for various communication services. We believe that text typing on small mobile devices will become more popular than it is today and also necessary for developing countries such as Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia and Bangladesh etc. In these countries, however, there is no proper or easy text input method...
The interface of mobile phone in Bangladesh is mostly in English. Few mobile operators introduced Short Messaging Services in Bangla. Text entry in Bangla in mobile phone is not simple due to the structure and large number of characters in this script. The objective of this paper is to propose an easy and faster mobile input method. We proposed frequency based two-layer multitap (FBTLM) Bangla input...
