about IPA

[xiaofeng wu]

Hi, 

Just found this acoustic model (zamia) looks very interesting, but I have some questions regarding it.

1> the dictionary and G2P model it used are very new to me.  The phonedict (it allege its also CMUdict) looks like the following (IPA?)

'bout;b'aʊt
'cause;kʌz
'course;k'ɔrs
'cuse;kj'uz
'em;ʌm

....

But the nonsilence phone it generated looks like (Sampa?):

'e: e:

'OI OI

tS

...

The problem is that the repo dose not provide an easy way to generate new phone for OOVs, 

so I have to use kaldi's recipe to do the conversion while loading the repo's sequitur model and phonedict., 

but the kaldi's recipe (the create_dict.sh in librispeech, which i am using) seemed not handling

 well this kind of symbols. What did i do wrong?

2> This repo seemed indifferently put all the corpus together (librispeech, ted, CV,...)and do the tdnn chain training from scratch (gmm)... 

Just wondering is it the best way?

Thanks!

You have to be more specific about the error from g2p.
