Self-taught assistive vocal interfaces: an overview of the ALADIN project
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives an overview of research within the ALADIN project, which aims to develop an assistive vocal interface for people with a physical impairment. In contrast to existing approaches, the vocal interface is trained by the end-user himself, which means it can be used with any vocabulary and grammar, and that it is maximally adapted to the — possibly dysarthric — speech of the user. This paper describes the overall learning framework, the user-centred design and evaluation aspects, database collection and approaches taken to combat problems such as noise and erroneous input.

ALADIN: Adaptive Speech Interaction for People with Disabilities
This position paper gives an overview of our ongoing work within the ALADIN project, which aims to develop an assistive vocal interface for people with physical impairments. Unlike most current Automatic Speech Recognition solutions, the system is entirely trained by the user, which provides extra challenges to the design of the interface. We describe three iterations of our user tests, showing...

متن کاملALADIN: The self-taught vocal interface
We describe a demonstration of a novel vocal user interface (VUI), ALADIN, which is trained through usage, by demonstrating spoken commands with manual controls. It works by mining the vocal commands to find recurrent acoustic patterns corresponding to words or phrases that constitute elements of the user’s commands. The demonstration consists of the VUI controlling a 3D environment with home a...
متن کاملTowards Shallow Grammar Induction for an Adaptive Assistive Vocal Interface: a Concept Tagging Approach
This paper describes research within the ALADIN project, which aims to develop an adaptive, assistive vocal interface for people with a physical impairment. One of the components in this interface is a self-learning grammar module, which maps a user’s utterance to its intended meaning. This paper describes a case study of the learnability of this task on the basis of a corpus of commands for th...
