g2p ID: Indonesian Grapheme-to-Phoneme Converter

This library is developed to convert Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) graphemes (words) to phonemes in IPA. We followed the methods and designs used in the English equivalent library, g2p.

Installation

pip install g2p_id_py

How to Use

from g2p_id import G2p

texts = [
    "Apel itu berwarna merah.",
    "Rahel bersekolah di S M A Jakarta 17.",
    "Mereka sedang bermain bola di lapangan.",
]

g2p = G2p()
for text in texts:
    print(g2p(text))

>> [['a', 'p', 'ə', 'l'], ['i', 't', 'u'], ['b', 'ə', 'r', 'w', 'a', 'r', 'n', 'a'], ['m', 'e', 'r', 'a', 'h'], ['.']]
>> [['r', 'a', 'h', 'e', 'l'], ['b', 'ə', 'r', 's', 'ə', 'k', 'o', 'l', 'a', 'h'], ['d', 'i'], ['e', 's'], ['e', 'm'], ['a'], ['dʒ', 'a', 'k', 'a', 'r', 't', 'a'], ['t', 'u', 'dʒ', 'u', 'h'], ['b', 'ə', 'l', 'a', 's'], ['.']]
>> [['m', 'ə', 'r', 'e', 'k', 'a'], ['s', 'ə', 'd', 'a', 'ŋ'], ['b', 'ə', 'r', 'm', 'a', 'i', 'n'], ['b', 'o', 'l', 'a'], ['d', 'i'], ['l', 'a', 'p', 'a', 'ŋ', 'a', 'n'], ['.']]

Algorithm

This is heavily inspired from the English g2p.

1. Spells out arabic numbers and some currency symbols, e.g. Rp 200,000 -> dua ratus ribu rupiah. This is borrowed from Cahya's code.
2. Attempts to retrieve the correct pronunciation for homographs based on their POS (part-of-speech) tags.
3. Looks up a lexicon (pronunciation dictionary) for non-homographs. This list is originally from ipa-dict, and we later made a modified version.
4. For OOVs, we predict their pronunciations using either a BERT model or an LSTM model.

Phoneme and Grapheme Sets

graphemes = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']
phonemes = ['a', 'b', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'ɡ', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'z', 'ŋ', 'ə', 'ɲ', 'tʃ', 'ʃ', 'dʒ', 'x', 'ʔ']

Implementation Details
