SGStudio: rapid semantic grammar development for spoken language understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
SGStudio (Semantic Grammar Studio) is a grammar authoring tool that facilitates the development of spoken dialog systems and speech enabled applications. It enables regular software developers with little speech/linguistic background to rapidly create quality semantic grammars for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and spoken language understanding (SLU). This paper introduces the framework of the tool as well as the component technologies, including knowledge assisted example-based grammar learning, grammar controls and configurable grammar structures. While the focus of SGStudio is to increase the productivity, experimental results show that it also improves the quality of the grammars.

Rapid development of spoken language understanding grammars
To facilitate the development of spoken dialog systems and speech enabled applications, we introduce SGStudio (Semantic Grammar Studio), a grammar authoring tool that enables regular software developers with little speech/linguistic background to rapidly create quality semantic grammars for automatic speech recognition (ASR) and spoken language understanding (SLU). We focus on the underlying te...
متن کاملCombination of CFG and n-gram modeling in semantic grammar learning
SGStudio is a grammar authoring tool that eases semantic grammar development. It is capable of integrating different information sources and learning from annotated examples to induct CFG rules. In this paper, we investigate a modification to its underlying model by replacing CFG rules with n-gram statistical models. The new model is a composite of HMM and CFG. The advantages of the new model i...

Materials evaluation studies have constantly demonstrated that there is no one fixed procedure for conducting textbook evaluation studies. Instead, the criteria must be selected according to the needs and objectives of the context in which evaluation takes place. The speaking skill as part of the communicative competence has been emphasized as an important objective in language teaching. The pr...

متن کاملCurrent Research in the Development of a Spoken Language Understanding System using PARSEC
We are developing a spoken language system which would more effectively merge natural language and speech recognition technology by using a more flexible parsing strategy and utilizing prosody, the suprasegmental information in speech such as stress, rhythm, and intonation. There is a considerable amount of evidence which indicates that prosodic information impacts human speech perception at ma...
