FAVE-align is currently maintained by Josef Fruehwald, and to the best of our knowledge was made by Ingrid Rosenfelder, with extra code by Jiahong Yuan and Keelan Evanini. The JSCh Java implementation of SSH2 was developed by Atsuhiko Yamanaka. The phonR library was created by Daniel McCloy.
We first learned about this technique to create forced alignment for Indigenous languages from DiCanio et al. 2013. We are aware of other teams also doing work on alignment for Indigenous languages (e.g. WebMAUS has models for Australian languages), and on untrained forced alignment (Johnson, Di Paolo & Bell 2018 for Tongan, Bowern et al. 2018 for Pamanyungan languages).
The following system was designed by Rolando Coto, Samantha Wray, Tyler Peterson and Sally Akevai Nicholas. It was developed for a workshop at the International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation 2019, organized by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
