runBASwebservice_minni: Creates a rough phonetic segmentation by running the phoneme...

In emuR: Main Package of the EMU Speech Database Management System

Creates a rough phonetic segmentation by running the phoneme decoder webservice MINNI.

Description

The MINNI phoneme decoder performs phoneme-based decoding on the signal without input from the transcription. Therefore, labelling quality is usually worse than that obtained from MAUS (runBASwebservice_maus). Contrary to MAUS however, there is no need for a pre-existing transcription.

Usage

runBASwebservice_minni(
  handle,
  language,
  minniAttributeDefinitionName = "MINNI",
  rootLevel = NULL,
  params = list(),
  perspective = "default",
  patience = 0,
  resume = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

handle	emuDB handle
language	language(s) to be used. If you pass a single string (e.g. "deu-DE"), this language will be used for all bundles. Alternatively, you can select the language for every bundle individually. To do so, you must pass a data frame with the columns session, bundle, language. This data frame must contain one row for every bundle in your emuDB. Up-to-date lists of the languages accepted by all webservices can be found here: https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/services/help
minniAttributeDefinitionName	attribute name for the MINNI segmentation
rootLevel	if provided, the new level will be linked to the root level
params	named list of parameters to be passed on to the webservice. It is your own responsibility to ensure that these parameters are compatible with the webservice API (see https://clarin.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/BASWebServices/services/help). Some options accepted by the API (e.g. output format) cannot be set when calling a webservice from within emuR, and will be overridden. If file parameters are used please wrap the file path in httr::upload_file("/path/2/file/rules.nrul").
perspective	the webApp perspective that the new level will be added to. If NULL, the new level is not added to any perspectives.
patience	If a web service call fails, it is repeated a further n times, with n being the value of patience. Must be set to a value between 0 and 3.
resume	If a previous call to this function has failed (and you think you have fixed the issue that caused the error), you can set resume=TRUE to recover any progress made up to that point. This will only work if your R temporary directory has not been deleted or emptied in the meantime.
verbose	Display progress bars and other information

Details

All necessary level, link and attribute definitions are created in the process.
