This study attempts to verify the reliability of automatically generated segment labels as compared to those otained by conventional labelling by hand. First of all, an autolabeller is constructed using the standard HMM speech recognition technique. For evaluation, we compare the automatically generated lavels with manually annotated labels for the same speech data. The comparison is performed by calculating the temporal difference between an autolabel boundary and its corresponding hand label boundary. When the mismatched duration between two labels falls within 10 msec, we consider the autolabel as correct. The results suggest that overall 78% of autolabels are correctly obtained. it is found that the boundary of obstruents is better aligned than that of sonorants and vowels. In case of stop sound classes, stron stops in manner-of-articulation wise and velar stops in place-of articulation wise show better performance in boundary alignment. The result suggests that more phone-specific consideration is necessary to improve autosegmentation performance.
