Spoken Language Systems

The objective of this project is to develop a real-time spoken language system capable of understanding and responding to spoken English commands and queries for interactive human-machine applications, such as battle management, command and control, and training of personnel on complex tasks. The system will also include a capability to adapt to new speakers and a capability to detect when a us...

On-Line Learning of a Persian Spoken Dialogue System Using Real Training Data

The first spoken dialogue system developed for the Persian language is introduced. This is a ticket reservation system with Persian ASR and NLU modules. The focus of the paper is on learning the dialogue management module. In this work, real on-line training data are used during the learning process. For on-line learning, the effect of the variations of discount factor (g) on the learning speed...

Integration of Speech and Natural Language Understanding for Spoken Language Systems (SLS)

SRI is developing a multi-modal interface to an air travel database that will permit cooperative planning via interactive human-machine problem solving. The project goals are real-time, large vocabulary (3000 words), high semantic accuracy (90%), speaker-independent understanding of spontaneously spoken natural language in a restricted domain. The grammar should be shown to be habitable and the...
