Liason in French #7

Open alt131 opened 3 years ago

alt131 commented 3 years ago

In French sometimes two words sound like one DEBUG:larynx:Words for 'oui, c'est un': ['oui', ',', "c'est", 'un'] DEBUG:larynx:Phonemes for 'c'est un': ['#', 's', 'e', 't', '#', 'œ̃', '#', '‖', '‖'] 't' was lost in the output wav and phonemes should be something like this DEBUG:larynx:Phonemes for 'c'est un': ['#', 's', 'e', 't', 'œ̃', '#', '‖', '‖']

DEBUG:larynx:Words for 'ce n'est pas un': ['ce', "n'est", 'pas', 'un'] DEBUG:larynx:Phonemes for 'ce n'est pas un': ['#', 's', 'e', 'ə', '#', 'n', 'ɛ', '#', 'p', 'a', '#', 'œ̃', '#', '‖', '‖'] the output wav was OK ('z' was added) but I think phonemes should be something like this DEBUG:larynx:Phonemes for 'ce n'est pas un': ['#', 's', 'e', 'ə', '#', 'n', 'ɛ', '#', 'p', 'a', 'z', 'œ̃', '#', '‖', '‖']

Liason looks like it's going to be fairly complex to implement correctly. I'm leaving this link here for future me: https://github.com/juliacarbajal/french_phonologizer/blob/master/phonologize.py

alt131 commented 3 years ago

I can suggest this algorithm.

  1. If last symbol of first word is 's', 'x', 'z', 't', 'd' and first symbol of second word is h or any vowel
  2. If last symbol of first word is consonant + apostrophe and first symbol of second word is h or any vowel then if the last consonant in 1st word is pronounced then just delete pause between words if last consonant in 1st word is NOT pronounced then change pause between words on 'z' for 's', 'x', 'z' and on 't' for 't', 'd'. I think it covers most cases.
alt131 commented 3 years ago

Also I think it's not all examples by link is correct in modern French. For example (from your learning French dataset), "any instances of après that are not part of après-midi" Cyrus Smith et Gédéon Spilett, après être << liason C’est le mot du professeur, qui, après avoir << liason

but I'm not a native French speaker.

tjiho commented 3 years ago

I agree liason in french is important, it helps a lot to understand the speaker and larynx doesn't make it. At this late hour, I will not pick a solution. It fairly complex to know when we should make liaison or not (in fact it's more a feeling than a rule that I apply). I found this algorithm yesterday, with two function check_liaison which verify if we should to do a liason between two words. And liaison which apply the liaison. https://github.com/tjiho/PoemesProfonds/blob/ede1b32df153254e826cd9779f971fe72d6bd3eb/lecture.py#L143

tjiho commented 3 years ago

For french speaker, here is an article talking when we should do the liason or not: https://www.francaisauthentique.com/quand-faire-la-liaison-en-francais/

Tomorrow I could make a summary in english.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@tjiho, I don't think it's possible to make an one universal solution. For example, in your article he wrote you shouldn't use a liason for phrases like “des haricots” (last 's' and first 'h') but if you check siwis dataset in sentence "Voilà donc de quoi dépendent les destins des hommes !" she used a liason for "des_hommes" and as I know it's a standard pronunciation. Maybe it depends from region where man/woman lives but even in most known self-study guide Mauger "Course de Lange et de Civilisation Francaises" they used the liason in that case (see the page 4: [dezom]).

tjiho commented 3 years ago

@alt131 About liason with h I searched on internet and I found this: http://www.languefrancaise.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=180 It say (in summary) that there is not liason with word beginning with a h non latin (Germanic or Greek). There is a list of those (~200), i will search it and publish it when I'll have the list. It's very ugly to say des_haies [dezɛ]. And you're right it should say des_hommes [dezom].

So it lists some rules:

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@synesthesiam, did you define a part of speech of word in gruut? @tjiho, ok, it's a good list, but do you understand it's not so easy to detect a part of speech of word in text?

tjiho commented 3 years ago

@tjiho, ok, it's a good list, but do you understand it's not so easy to detect a part of speech of word in text?

@alt131 yes i understand it 😅 It will be a big improvement to have correct liason.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@tjiho, I doubt what gruut has a syntactical analyzer. I suggest to use my algorithm above and add there some exceptions like 'et' for first word and 'à', 'il', 'elle' etc for second word. It covers 95-98% cases for TTS and STT and there is 3 sentences on Python I believe.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

And I also believe it's not a big problem if we'll not add a liason for "un_ami" etc, at least for speech-to-text neuro net.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

200 words? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_aspir%C3%A9

tjiho commented 3 years ago

200 words? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_aspir%C3%A9

A bit more 😇 There are 573 words. That's nice, so we have all the words with a h aspiré .

alt131 commented 3 years ago

  • adjective + noun : liason I believe there are adjectives like grand, petit, gros, long, beaux, bel It's possible to add them to a first word exception.

  • there is a list of typical expression to know for which you should do a liason (todo: find this list). Can you give some example(s)?

synesthesiam commented 3 years ago

Gruut can do syntax analysis using python-crfsuite. I trained a model for French today on the French Universal Dependencies treebank, and it seems to work quite well.

Here's the result of my first attempt: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a232BIJ_gTfm3wHEKr0F86K8BkepQYay?usp=sharing

It apply to this kind of adjectives (qualificatif) : un petit_ami But also to:

Sure, the article talks about some expressions: tout_à l’heure c’est_à dire plus_ou moins peut_être

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@tjiho, thanks. @synesthesiam, I like it but "Je vis en Amérique." Phonems is correct but the pronunciation is not. 'Ton excellent vin.' also has a problem with pronunciation. I think they both have relation with #5.

tjiho commented 3 years ago

'Ton excellent vin.' also has a problem with pronunciation. I think they both have relation with #5.

excellent could have mutiple pronunciation depending of the context. It has been pronunced like a verb. ils excellent en mathématiques

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@tjiho, I don't like a pronunciation 'ton' :) It's very different from original one.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

Tu descends sous ton nez...

synesthesiam commented 3 years ago

Here are the same sentences with a word break (#) added after the liason: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1U8i14JX_IB2HC-0YlGrTunFkzM9lpAvR?usp=sharing

Do these sound better or worse?

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@synesthesiam, 'Ton excellent vin.' is OK "Je vis en Amérique." is OK I check another and write later.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

@synesthesiam All sentences are OK for me.

alt131 commented 3 years ago

Sorry "Je vis en Amérique." Liason is lost but pronunciation is still better))

tjiho commented 3 years ago

In the second one, les arbres is better. In the first one, I hear ['#', 'l', 'e', 'z', 'a', 'b', 'ʁ', '#', '‖', '‖'] instead of ['#', 'l', 'e', 'z', 'a', 'ʁ', 'b', 'ʁ', '#', '‖', '‖'] ('ʁ is missing before the 'b')

synesthesiam commented 3 years ago

OK, I'll keep the word breaks in then. This seems like progress at least :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks for all your help!

alt131 commented 3 years ago

'Sa vie n’était pas en danger' is OK 'Un bâtiment est en vue de l’île.' I hear "est en" as something 'e' 'd' 'ɑ̃', but it should be 'e' 't' 'ɑ̃'

Check phonems for it if they are OK then do nothing.

You have at least 2 bugs in French models. First bug. Current NNs were trained without the liason. Second bug. To compeтsate first bug you added # in liason. I think you need to delete # in liason and train swiss model for test. I believe the result will be better quality and more accurate And bug #5 still exists for example for 'livre' or 'homme' phonemes are OK but pronunciation is not (inside a word)

synesthesiam commented 3 years ago

Haven't updated the Docker images yet. I had to roll back to push a different fix.

The ValueError you got is likely from leaving the --csv command-line argument on while passing in sentences without an id field (like id|text).

alt131 commented 3 years ago

The ValueError you got is likely from leaving the --csv command-line argument on while passing in sentences without an id field (like id|text).

No, it's because in " l`arbre" used no standard apostrophe. If I change it on standard ', then it works OK.

zopieux commented 3 years ago

Just wanted to mention:

Phonemes for 'Michel est un grand ami.': ['#', 'm', 'i', 'ʃ', 'ɛ', 'l', '#', 'ɛ', '#', 'œ̃', 'n', '#', 'ɡ', 'ʁ', 'ɑ̃', 't', 'a', 'm', 'i', '#', '‖', '‖']

On this pronunciation sample, I hear a D-sound rather than the expected T-sound: est “D”un grand instead of est “T”un grand.
