1. **[Introduction to Arabic Speech Recognition Using CMUSphinx System](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/satori-2007-introduction-arabic-speech-recognition-using/)** *(2007 · 48 citations)* The authors ask whether CMU Sphinx-4, an open-source HMM-based recognizer built mainly around English, can be adapted to Arabic.
2. **[Study and quantification of the declination for the Arabic speech synthesis system PARADIS.](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/benabbou-2002-study-quantification-declination-arabic-speech/)** *(2002 · 27 citations)* The paper investigates declination in Arabic: the gradual fall of the fundamental frequency (F0) across an utterance. The goal is a melody model for PARADIS, a TD-PSOLA text-to-speech system that concatenates disyllables. The model predicts a declination line and then lays accent-related local events on top of it.
3. **[Arabic Speech Recognition System using CMU-Sphinx4](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/satori-2007-arabic-speech-recognition-system-using/)** *(2007 · 4 citations)* The authors build one of the first Arabic speech recognizers on top of the open-source CMU Sphinx-4 toolkit, a Java framework built on hidden Markov models.
