Phone Segmentation and Recognition through Phonological Activation Mapping

Phone segmentation and recognition are inherently related tasks, yet modern approaches typically model them separately. We argue that phonetic structure is already latent in the representations of self-supervised speech models (S3Ms), and one only needs to steer them to solve both tasks. We leverage S3M-based Phonological Activation Mapping (SPAM), which maps each S3M representation frame to a vector of phonological feature activations, such as voicing and nasality. On top of SPAM, we introduce…
