Achieving Intellectual Autonomy Through Philosophy

Autonomy is the ability to think, make decisions, and act for yourself without depending on others to dictate your beliefs.

Phonetics and Phonology: Speech Sound Analysis

Phonetics and Phonology: The Science of Speech

Phonetics analyzes the sounds of speech and how they are produced. It is the physical aspect of the sound. For example, it studies how we position the lips for pronunciation. Phonology is a branch of linguistics that studies sounds as abstract units inside a system. The objective is to understand how sounds are useful for distinguishing meanings. For example, in English, /p/ and /b/ are phonemes; we can differentiate between words like bad and pat.

N-Gram Models and Statistical Language Modeling

N-Gram Models: Unigram, Bigram, and Trigram

An N-Gram Model is a statistical language model that predicts the next word based on the previous LAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC words.

Types of N-Grams

Unigram (N=1)

Considers each word independently.

Example sentence: I love NLP

Unigrams:

  • I
  • love
  • NLP

Probability: gBxfY6t0jGNhAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

Bigram (N=2)

Considers one previous word.

Bigrams:

  • I love
  • love NLP

Probability: gBzvb3oA4TlZQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==

Trigram (N=3)

Considers two previous words.

Trigrams:

  • I love NLP

Probability: hskMqpvnRhmBjEBGoD8EOvyVwv6E55EyAhmBr4rAP2qJHxq01dUFAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC

Applications of N-Grams

  • Text prediction
  • Spell checking
  • Speech recognition
