AlloVera: A Multilingual Allophone Database
Table 5: Comparisons of phone error rates in two unseen languages
['[EMPTY]', 'Inuktitut', 'Tusom']
AlloVera gives Allosaurus another important capability—the ability to generate phones from the universal phone inventory. The universal phone inventory consists of all allophones in AlloVera. In contrast, the shared phoneme model could only generate inconsistent universal phonemes and the private phoneme model could only generate language-specific phonemes. The table suggests that Allosaurus and AlloVera improve the performance over both the shared phoneme model and the private phoneme model substantially.
