Automatic Restoration of Diacritics for Speech Data Sets

1 code implementation15 Nov 2023 Sara Shatnawi, Sawsan Alqahtani, Hanan Aldarmaki

Automatic text-based diacritic restoration models generally have high diacritic error rates when applied to speech transcripts as a result of domain and style shifts in spoken language.

Injecting Domain Knowledge in Language Models for Task-Oriented Dialogue Systems

1 code implementation15 Dec 2022 Denis Emelin, Daniele Bonadiman, Sawsan Alqahtani, Yi Zhang, Saab Mansour

Pre-trained language models (PLM) have advanced the state-of-the-art across NLP applications, but lack domain-specific knowledge that does not naturally occur in pre-training data.

Efficient Convolutional Neural Networks for Diacritic Restoration

no code implementations IJCNLP 2019 Sawsan Alqahtani, Ajay Mishra, Mona Diab

Diacritic restoration has gained importance with the growing need for machines to understand written texts.

Homograph Disambiguation Through Selective Diacritic Restoration

no code implementations WS 2019 Sawsan Alqahtani, Hanan Aldarmaki, Mona Diab

Diacritic restoration could theoretically help disambiguate these words, but in practice, the increase in overall sparsity leads to performance degradation in NLP applications.
