abstract = {This paper deals with new methods for phoneme-to-phoneme (P2P)
alignment and conversion. Alignment is carried out by dynamic programming for
Levenshtein distance calculation. Cost functions based on phoneme co-occurrence
statistics and on distinctive feature vector distances accounting for connected speech
processes are comparatively evaluated. Given the aligned data, decision trees for
P2P conversion across word boundaries are trained and evaluated. Amongst others
it turned out, that while accounting for assimilation processes improved alignment
quality, these quality differences showed no impact on P2P conversion performance.},
