Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a sound event encoder for converting sound events into their onomatopoeic representations. The proposed method uses Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) as an End-to-End approach to directly convert a sequence of feature vectors of each sound event into a corresponding onomatopoeic representation which accurately represents each sound and can be intuitively understood. Moreover, to address the issue of the ambiguity of onomatopoeic representations among different individuals, we develop a database of sound events and their corresponding typical onomatopoeic representations as accepted by multiple listeners. To evaluate the performance of our proposed method, we conduct objective and subjective evaluations. Objective evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed sound event encoder is capable of converting sound events into their onomatopoeic representations with word error rate (WER) is 46.0% and phoneme error rate (PER) is 20.49%. From subjective evaluation results demonstrate with a 74.5% subjective acceptability rate, and that use of typical onomatopoeic representations, as approved by multiple subjects, yields significant improvement, resulting in an acceptability rate of 81.8%.
