An Intelligent Procedure Assistant Built Using REGULUS 2 and ALTERF

چکیده
We will demonstrate the latest version of an ongoing project to create an intelligent procedure assistant for use by astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). The system functionality includes spoken dialogue control of navigation, coordinated display of the procedure text, display of related pictures, alarms, and recording and playback of voice notes. The demo also exemplifies several interesting component technologies. Speech recognition and language understanding have been developed using the Open Source REGULUS 2 toolkit. This implements an approach to portable grammar-based language modelling in which all models are derived from a single linguistically motivated unification grammar. Domain-specific CFG language models are produced by first specialising the grammar using an automatic corpus-based method, and then compiling the resulting specialised grammars into CFG form. Translation between language centered and domain centered semantic representations is carried out by ALTERF, another Open Source toolkit, which combines rule-based and corpusbased processing in a transparent way.

A Limited-Domain English to Japanese Medical Speech Translator Built Using REGULUS 2
We argue that verbal patient diagnosis is a promising application for limited-domain speech translation, and describe an architecture designed for this type of task which represents a compromise between principled linguistics-based processing on the one hand and efficient phrasal translation on the other. We propose to demonstrate a prototype system instantiating this architecture, which has be...
متن کاملA Development Environment for Building Grammar-Based Speech-Enabled Applications
We present a development environment for Regulus, a toolkit for building unification grammar-based speech-enabled systems, focussing on new functionality added over the last year. In particular, we will show an initial version of a GUI-based top-level for the development environment, a tool that supports graphical debugging of unification grammars by cutting and pasting of derivation trees, and...

متن کاملDesign and Implementation of an Intelligent Part of Speech Generator
The aim of this paper is to report on an attempt to design and implement an intelligent system capable of generating the correct part of speech for a given sentence while the sentence is totally new to the system and not stored in any database available to the system. It follows the same steps a normal individual does to provide the correct parts of speech using a natural language processor. It...
متن کاملBuilding Mobile Spoken Dialogue Applications Using Regulus
Regulus is an Open Source platform that supports construction of rule-based medium-vocabulary spoken dialogue applications. It has already been used to build several substantial speech-enabled applications, including NASA’s Clarissa procedure navigator and Geneva University’s MedSLT medical speech translator. System like these would be far more useful if they were available on a hand-held devic...
