UNINA System for the EVALITA 2011 Forced Alignment Task

Abstract. This report presents the system proposed and the results obtained by our group for the EVALITA 2011 Forced Alignment on Spontaneous Speech task. The system is composed of a module for acoustic modelling, which uses the SPRAAK toolkit, and a second one for the processing of textual information. Several tests were performed to determine the impact of frame shift size and speaker adaptation on the accuracy of the alignment. Good segmentation results were obtained, the proposed system outperforming the other teams' systems, but performance improvements can be achieved by using a pronunciation dictionary
