Efficient Representation of Linguistic Knowledge for Continuous Speech Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a linguistic knowledge representation technique suitable for reducing analysis time and memory requirements in a parser for continuous speech. Parsing speech, having to process a lattice of word hypotheses instead of a string of words, involves a tremendous amount of search and the generation of a high number of phrase hypotheses. The aim is, while using powerful and flexible formalisms for syntax and semantics, to generate "compact" phrase hypotheses, each one accounting for many syntactic rules simultaneously. The proposed method is able to cope with, and to take advantage from, the fact that short words are often missing from the lattice. A detailed example is given to clarify this method. Finally experimental data arc presented and discussed, showing the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

A New Algorithm for Optimization of Fuzzy Decision Tree in Data Mining
Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...

متن کاملRecognition of continuous utterances of Japanese vowel sequences based on structural representation of speech
Non-linguistic features such as vocal tract shapes and acoustic devices are inevitably involved in speech. Recently, a new representation of speech without any dimensions indicating the non-linguistic features was proposed. It discards the absolute properties of speech events and captures only the interrelations among them. In this paper, recognition experiments of continuous utterances of Japa...
متن کاملMental Timeline in Persian Speakers’ Co-speech Gestures based on Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory
One of the introduced conceptual metaphors is the metaphor of "time as space". Time as an abstract concept is conceptualized by a concrete concept like space. This conceptualization of time is also reflected in co-speech gestures. In this research, we try to find out what dimension and direction the mental timeline has in co-speech gestures and under the influence of which one of the metaphoric...
