A robust speech understanding system using conceptual relational grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a robust speech understanding system based on our newly developed approach to spoken language processing. We show that a robust NLU system can be rapidly developed using a relatively simple speech recognizer to provide sufficient information for database retrieval by spoken language. Our experimental system consists of three components: a speech recognizer based on HMM, a natural language parser based on conceptual relational grammar and a data retrieval system based on the ATIS database. With the use of the robust parsing strategy, database query tasks can be successfully performed.

On the limitations of stochastic conceptual finite-state language models for speech understanding
In a limited domain task (e.g. airline reservation, database retrieval, etc) many robust understanding systems, designed for both speech and text input, have been implemented [1][3][5][6][10] based on the Stochastic Conceptual FiniteState paradigm (Semantic Network) or CHRONUS paradigm [11] (Conceptual Hidden Representation of Natural Unconstrained Speech), which establishes relations between c...
متن کاملA methodology for comparing grammar-based and robust approaches to speech understanding
We present a series of experiments designed to compare grammar-based and robust approaches to speech understanding, performed in the context of an Open Source medical speech translation system. We used two versions of the system, one grammar-based and one robust, trained off the same training data, and evaluated them on test data collected using both versions of the system. The experiments were...
متن کاملEnhancing commercial grammar-based applications using robust approaches to speech understanding
This paper presents a series of measurements of the accuracy of speech understanding when grammar-based or robust approaches are used. The robust approaches considered here are based on statistical language models (SLMs) with the interpretation being carried out by phrasespotting or robust parsing methods. We propose a simple process to leverage existing grammars and logged utterances to upgrad...
متن کاملRobust Parsing of Utterances i
The rapidly increasing number of spoken-dialogue systems have led to numerous robust parsers for limited domains having been constructed during the last decade. By “parsing” we here mean a mapping from the input utterance to a context-independent semantic representation. By “robust” we mean that the parser will give a reasonable result even on very noisy input. In simple spoken-dialogue applica...
متن کاملEin Situierter Künstlicher Kommunikator für Konstruktionsaufgaben
In this article we describe a Situated Artificial Communicator for assembly tasks. The main components of the system we are developing are a speech understanding module and a two-arm-robot module. The robot system can be instructed using spontaneous speech. The speech understanding module is based on Combinatory Categorial Grammar, which makes incremental and interactive speech understanding po...
