The Third Project

In certain North American subcultures, there is a trend towards using creatively spelled or unconventional names for children like Ashleigh, Peytyn, Jaxxon, and Qwaylon. These names are sometimes called “tragedeighs.” The goal of this project is to build a dataset of phonemically transcribed tragedeighs and a model to predict the phonemic transcriptions of names of this type.
