Tried swapping out the default phonemizer in ForwardTacotron for DeepPhonemizer and noticed the model was very hesitant to learn attention. Took a look at the actual output and it was using "aɪz" instead of "ɪz". I have since switched to the cmudict version which does not have this issue, but it would be nice to have this fixed, especially for such a common word. Looking at the actual wikipron dataset I see that the phonemes for "is" are correct, so I'm not sure what's causing this.
