Test files

The following files are provided to run a test with Fine-Tracker:

• test.input: This file consists of three utterances, each consisting of a single Dutch word:
  • kandelaar.input (English: candle)
  • kijker.input (English: spectator)
  • cocktail.input (English: cocktail)
  The name of the file (without .input) is the word spoken in the file. The input is created using multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) trained on a large corpus of Dutch read speech. More information on the MLPs and the way the input was created can be found in this paper: Modelling fine-phonetic detail in a computational model of word recognition.
  
  
• test.lex: The lexicon consists of 27,591 Dutch words transcribed in terms of articulatory features. See the Document page for more information.
  
  
• default.xml: The config file that should be used for running the test.
• default.output: The output file that should be created when running the test.
