Performance Evaluation of Indonesian Language Forced Alignment Using Montreal Forced Aligner
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Manual segmentation is crucial for aligning words or phonemes between speech signals and their transcription. It is used in many applications, such as speech recognition, speaker diarization, and speech synthesis. However, because manual segmentation can be laborious and time-consuming, forced alignment algorithms are used to automate the process by aligning the speech audio to its corresponding text transcription at the phoneme or word level. To overcome this problem, one of the solutions is a forced alignment tool called Montreal Force Aligner. This tool has two requirements: a language acoustic model and a corresponding language dictionary. The challenges are determining a suitable recipe for training the model and achieving a good alignment with minimum error. In this study, training and evaluation are conducted for the Indonesian language using the Montreal Forced Aligner. A conversational corpus from a range of five to 30 speakers with various duration between one hour and two hours is used as an input to train the acoustic model. Then, the model is employed to align the conversational Indonesian corpus using the ASR-INDOCSC test set. Our findings include a recommendation training strategy for developing an Indonesian language acoustic model using the Montreal Forced Aligner tool, which measures the number of speakers and hours required.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
