Semantic composition process in a spoken language understanding system
نویسندگان
چکیده
A knowledge representation formalism for SLU is introduced. It is used for incremental and partially automated annotation of the Media corpus in terms of semantic structures. An automatic interpretation process is described for composing semantic structures from basic semantic constituents using patterns involving constituents and words. The process has procedures for obtaining semantic compositions and for generating frame hypotheses by inference. This process is evaluated on a dialogue corpus manually annotated at the word and semantic constituent levels.

Syntactic annotation of spontaneous speech: application to call-center conversation data
Both frameworks are based on the automatic semantic analysis of Human-Human spoken conversations. The semantic interpretation of a spoken utterance can be split into a two-level process: a tagging process projecting lexical items into basic conceptual constituents and a composition process that takes as input these basic constituents and combine them in a possibly complex semantic interpretatio...
متن کاملConceptual language model design for spoken language understanding
This paper describes the construction and use of language models specific to semantic concepts. A tolerance mechanism is introduced in order to design conceptual constituents that cover longer word patterns while remaining robust to spontaneous speech disfluencies and recognition errors. These models are obtained from sentence patterns which grow from essential information to longer sequences o...
متن کاملStudies on Robust Language and Dialogue Processing for Spoken Dialogue Systems
In spoken dialogue systems, robust language processing for spontaneous speech understanding and robust dialogue processing for achieving user goal are inevitable. Previously, research of speech recognition and research of natural language understanding were done independently. At first glance, it seems to be no problem to combine these two technologies, because the purpose of speech recognition...
متن کاملSpoken Language Understanding in Spoken Dialog System for Travel Information Accessing
This paper briefly introduces the VOTIRS 2.0 system — a Chinese spoken dialog system for travel information accessing. Through this system, users can query the travel information about 52 routes and finally make a transaction for a proper travel plan. The strategy and method to understand spontaneous speech in the system are discussed in detail. To understand spontaneous speech, a Semantic Cons...
متن کاملExploiting Multiple ASR Outputs for a Spoken Language Understanding Task
In this paper, we present an approach to Spoken Language Understanding, where the input to the semantic decoding process is a composition of multiple hypotheses provided by the Automatic Speech Recognition module. This way, the semantic constraints can be applied not only to a unique hypothesis, but also to other hypotheses that could represent a better recognition of the utterance. To do this,...
