Abstract
There has been increasing interest in English-to-Korean transliteration recently. Previous ,works are related to a direct method like Korean graphemes> and a pivot method like English phoneme$\rightarrow$Korean graphemes>. Though most of the previous works focus on the direct method, transliteration, however, is a phonetic process rather than an orthographic one. In this point of view, we present an English-Korean transliteration model using grapheme and phoneme information. Unlike the previous works, our method uses phonetic information such as phonemes and their context. Moreover, we also use graphemes corresponding to phonemes. Our method shows about $60\%$ word accuracy.
