波斯语是一种使用阿拉伯文字书写的印欧语系语言,是伊朗、阿富汗和塔吉克斯坦的官方语言。波斯语到英语的音译,也就是说,一个波斯语单词的一个字符一个字符的映射,这是不容易在双语词典是一个未研究的问题。在本文中,我们做了三个新的贡献。首先,我们提出了现有的基于字素的音译方法对英语到波斯语的性能比较。其次,我们讨论了建立音译研究语料库的困难。最后,我们介绍了一种新的模式,考虑到波斯语的习惯缩短,甚至省略,英语元音运行。这个特点使得波斯语的音译对于基于语音的方法来说特别困难。这个新模型在波斯语上优于现有的基于字素的方法,使用前5个标准测量的音译准确性相对提高了24%。
Persian is an Indo-European language written using Arabic script, and is an official language of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Transliteration of Persian to English—that is, the character-by-character mapping of a Persian word that is not readily available in a bilingual dictionary—is an unstudied problem. In this paper we make three novel contributions. First, we present performance comparisons of existing grapheme-based transliteration methods on English to Persian. Second, we discuss the difficulties in establishing a corpus for studying transliteration. Finally, we introduce a new model of Persian that takes into account the habit of shortening, or even omitting, runs of English vowels. This trait makes transliteration of Persian particularly difficult for phonetic based methods. This new model outperforms the existing grapheme based methods on Persian, exhibiting a 24% relative increase in transliteration accuracy measured using the top-5 criteria.
