Evaluation of Phonetic Encoding Algorithms on Transcription Datasets

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

In this work, a novel evaluation scheme built on a generalized variant of the Rand Index measure, namely, the Hüllermeier-Rifqi Index, is proposed in order to assess how well phonetic encoding algorithms conform to word-based transcriptions in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) notation. For this objective, the discordance score is obtained by calculating the absolute difference between the pairwise similarity values of ground-truth transcriptions and those of corresponding phonetic encodings, which are computed using normalized edit distance as a permutation dependent string metric.
