In both the textual and phonetic domains, our method focuses on the extraction of phonetic transcriptions from text, stress marks, and a unified automatic syllabification (in text and phonetic domains). The system was built with open-source components and resources. Through an ablation study, we demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in automatically syllabifying words from several languages (English, French and Spanish). Additionally, we apply the technique to the transcriptions of the CMU ARCTIC dataset, generating valuable annotations available online\\footnote{\\url{https://github.com/noetits/MUST_P-SRL}} that are ideal for speech representation learning, speech unit discovery, and disentanglement of speech factors in several speech-related fields.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.11541v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.11541v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"must-p-srl-multi-lingual-and-unified","repo_url":"https://github.com/noetits/must_p-srl","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"disentanglement","task_name":"Disentanglement"},{"task_slug":"representation-learning","task_name":"Representation Learning"},{"task_slug":"speech-representation-learning","task_name":"Speech Representation Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2310.11541","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
