PRODIS - a Speech Database and a Phoneme-based Language Model for the Study of Predictability Effects in Polish

Zofia Malisz, Jan Foremski, Małgorzata Kul


Abstract
We present a speech database and a phoneme-level language model of Polish. The database and model are designed for the analysis of prosodic and discourse factors interacting with predictability effects on acoustic parameters. The database is also the first large, publicly available Polish speech corpus of excellent acoustic quality that can be used for phonetic analysis and training of multi-speaker speech technology systems. The speech in the database is processed in a pipeline that achieves a 90% degree of automation. It incorporates state-of-the-art, freely available tools enabling database expansion or adaptation to additional languages.
