Correction System

This work consists in achieving an automatic speech correction system for continuous Arabic speech with large vocabulary in mono-speaker mode. Two vectors to be generated: the first is an Arabic speech standard (probability of occurrence of each Arabic bi-phoneme), the second gives a probabilistic representation of the speech sequence to be corrected. Using these two vectors, phonemes that pose pronunciation problems to speakers and their replacements can be identified. The rest is a game of substitutions and belonging tests to an Arabic lexicon. For that, an acoustic model for Arabic speech and a lexicon of 4 million distinct words have been built. Results of the work were encouraging and present a reference for other works for people with language disabilities. A correction rate of 97% is reached.

Based on an ethnographic study with 58 participants released from a Romanian prison, this study revisits the pains of release and illustrates the complexity of the reentry process. Some of the pains of reentry seem universal while others seem to be context dependent. In the same time, some pains of release are personal, others social, while others are structural. Concepts of intersectionality and the multi-level model of reentry are discussed, and further suggestions for research are advanced.
