Session 2: Spoken Language Systems II
نویسنده
چکیده
Three papers in this session concern gathering spontaneous speech data. Two of the papers (AT&T and SRU) used a Wizard of Oz paradigm to interact with users via telephone. In the WOZ paradigm, subjects are led to believe that they are interacting with a machine when an experimenter is actually performing the machine's task. While this technique is used by many sites collecting spontaneous speech data, most of the systems use visual displays to present information to users. These two papers give some insight into the unique characteristics of the interactions when the data is presented over a telephone.

Spoken Language Systems II
The papers in this session were concerned with higher-level processing in speech recognition systems and, in some cases, the interface between the speech-recognition and natural-language components of a spoken language system. The session consisted of talks from four DARPA sites, Dragon Systems, SRI International, BBN Systems and Technologies, and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. These talks were follow...
متن کاملSummary of Session 2: Spoken Language Systems I
This session included descriptions of Spoken Language Systems under development at BBN Systems and Technologies, Carnegie Mellon University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Unisys. The topics covered a variety of issues including semantic interpretation (BBN), modeling "noise words" for spontaneous (vs. read) speech (CMU), dialogue management (Unisys) and systems issues (MIT and Unisys).
متن کاملData Collection And Evaluation
This session focussed on two inter-related issues: (I) performance assessment for spoken language systems and (2) experience to date in speech corpora collection for these systems. The session included formal presentations from representatives of SRI International, MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science, BBN Systems and Technologies Corporation, and Carnegie Mellon University's School of Compute...
متن کاملOn the Use of Diary Study to Investigate Avoidance Strategy in Spoken English Courses
In the present study, an attempt is made to investigate the frequency and motives of using avoidance strategies by a group of Iranian intermediate language learners through their own journal writing. The effect of gender on the use of avoidance strategies is to be investigated as well. Thirty nine female and twenty three male learners enrolled in an English language spoken course in a private E...
متن کاملSession 8: Spoken Language Systems II
Mike Philips of MIT presented recent progress on the VOYAGER system. In particular, MIT has incorporated a "top-N" approach to increase the level of integration between speech and natural language. They use Viterbi search to compute the upper bound estimate for an A* search. Readers should contrast this with papers from BBN and AT&T in the first SLS session. MIT has also developed an interestin...
