An information extraction approach for spoken language understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an Information Extraction (IE) approach for spoken language understanding. The goal in IE is to find proper values for pre-defined slots of given templates. IE for spoken language understanding proposes a concept spotting approach for spoken language because IE approach is interested in only pre-defined concept slots. In spite of this partial understanding, we can acquire necessary information for an application from the values of pre-defined slots because the slots are properly designed for speech understanding in a specific domain. Spoken language has so many recognition errors especially in a poor environment so it is more difficult to understand than textual language. Considering this fact, we attempt to understand the languages by concentrating on the specified information. In experiments on the car navigation domain, F-measure for concept spotting for textual input (WER 0%) and spoken input (WER 39%) are 96.33% and 78.30% respectively.

Today, the importance of text processing and its usages is well known among researchers and students. The amount of textual, documental materials increase day by day. So we need useful ways to save them and retrieve information from these materials. For example, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and etc. need to read so many web documents and retrieve the most similar ones to the user ...
متن کاملA multiple classifier-based concept-spotting approach for robust spoken language understanding
In this paper, we present a concept spotting approach using manifold machine learning techniques for robust spoken language understanding. The goal of this approach is to find proper values for pre-defined slots of given meaning representation. Especially we propose a voting-based selection using multiple classifiers for robust spoken language understanding. This approach proposes no full level...

This article summarily reports the development of the first Thai spoken dialogue system (SDS), namely a Thai Interactive Hotel Reservation Agent (TIRA) . In the development, a multi-stage technique of spoken language understanding (SLU), which combined a word spotting technique for concept extraction and a pattern classification technique for goal identification, was proposed. To improve system...
متن کاملRecognizing named entities in spoken Chinese dialogues with a character-level maximum entropy tagger
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an important task in information extraction, where major attention has been paid to written texts of a news or academic paper (esp. biomedical) style. In this paper we report the first piece of work on NER in spoken Chinese dialogues, as a preliminary step for spoken language understanding. The NER task is taken as a sequential classification problem and solved...
متن کاملAn Efficient Language Understanding Approach for Mixed-Initiative Spoken Dialogue Systems
A practical spoken dialogue system in a mixed-initiative scheme must be able to handle a variety of concepts supplied by users. This is mostly responsible by a language understanding module, which converts an input word string to a semantic concept understood by the system. This article proposes a novel language understanding approach, which consists of two modules, a subframe extraction module...
