sylseg-sk-training(1) USER COMMANDS sylseg-sk-training(1)
NAME
sylseg-sk-training - train the statistic for the syllabic segmentation
SYNOPSIS
sylseg-sk-training [--color] [--dl debug level] [--help] [<input file>]
DESCRIPTION
The sylabic segmentation is esential for some linguistic or speech recognition applications. Depending on the language either rule based or
statistical approach is beying used. For Slovak the statistical approach seems to be more suitable.
sylseg-sk-training creates the necessary data for one of the statistical approaches for the syllabic segmentaion. The input data are
expected to be word segmented into syllables. The syllabic separator should be "-". If no input file is specified, the standard input is
expected. The output is written in to the file. The filename is input filename with the extension ".statistics". If standard input is
used, then the output filename is syl_output.statistics.
The design of the sylseg-sk-training is language independent. Theoretically it should work for any language.
OPTIONS
--color
Enable color output.
--dl Set the debug level. Control the amount of displayed information The debug level 0 displays nothing. The maximum level 5 displays
full debugging report. The default debug level is 1.
--help display a short help text
EXAMPLES
Use file aaa.txt as training input and set up debug level to 3:
sylseg-sk-training --dl 3 aaa.txt
EXIT STATUS
sylseg-sk-training returns a zero if the training succeeds
