SIGMORPHON 2021 Shared Task on Morphological Reinflection: Generalization Across Languages
This year's iteration of the SIGMORPHON Shared Task on morphological reinflection focuses on typological diversity and cross-lingual variation of morphosyntactic features.
The ManDi Corpus: A Spoken Corpus of Mandarin Regional Dialects
In the present paper, we introduce the ManDi Corpus, a spoken corpus of regional Mandarin dialects and Standard Mandarin.
VoxCommunis: A Corpus for Cross-linguistic Phonetic Analysis
We demonstrate the utility of this corpus for downstream phonetic research in a descriptive analysis of language-specific vowel systems, as well as an analysis of “uniformity” in vowel realization across languages.
On the Role of Context in Reading Time Prediction
Another one is the pointwise mutual information (PMI) between a unit and its context, which turns out to yield the same predictive power as surprisal when controlling for unigram frequency.
Tradition or Innovation: A Comparison of Modern ASR Methods for Forced Alignment
Forced alignment (FA) plays a key role in speech research through the automatic time alignment of speech signals with corresponding text transcriptions.

What Languages are Easy to Language-Model? A Perspective from Learning Probabilistic Regular Languages
We find that the RLM rank, which corresponds to the size of linear space spanned by the logits of its conditional distributions, and the expected length of sampled strings are strong and significant predictors of learnability for both RNNs and Transformers.
Phonetic Segmentation of the UCLA Phonetics Lab Archive
We also discuss the utility of the VoxAngeles corpus for general research and pedagogy in crosslinguistic phonetics, as well as for low-resource and multilingual speech technologies.
UniMorph 4.0: Universal Morphology
The project comprises two major thrusts: a language-independent feature schema for rich morphological annotation and a type-level resource of annotated data in diverse languages realizing that schema.
DeepFry: Identifying Vocal Fry Using Deep Neural Networks
The classifier is implemented as a multi-headed fully-connected network trained to detect creaky voice, voicing, and pitch, where the last two are used to refine creak prediction.
SIGMORPHON 2020 Shared Task 0: Typologically Diverse Morphological Inflection
Systems were developed using data from 45 languages and just 5 language families, fine-tuned with data from an additional 45 languages and 10 language families (13 in total), and evaluated on all 90 languages.
A Corpus for Large-Scale Phonetic Typology
A major hurdle in data-driven research on typology is having sufficient data in many languages to draw meaningful conclusions.
Predicting Declension Class from Form and Meaning
We find for two Indo-European languages (Czech and German) that form and meaning respectively share significant amounts of information with class (and contribute additional information above and beyond gender).
Corpus Phonetics Tutorial
Corpus phonetics has become an increasingly popular method of research in linguistic analysis.

New release of Mixer-6: Improved validity for phonetic study of speaker variation and identification
The Mixer series of speech corpora were collected over several years, principally to support annual NIST evaluations of speaker recognition (SR) technologies.
