PARSEC: A Constraint-Based Parser for Spoken Language Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
PARSEC1, a text-based and spoken language processing framework based on the Constraint Dependency Grammar (CDG) developed by Maruyama [26,27], is discussed. The scope of CDG is expanded to allow for the analysis of sentences containing lexically ambiguous words, to allow feature analysis in constraints, and to efficiently process multiple sentence candidates that are likely to arise in spoken language processing. The benefits of the CDG parsing approach are summarized. Additionally, the development CDG grammars using PARSEC grammar writing tools and the implementation of the PARSEC parser for word graphs is discussed. 'Parallel ARchitecture Sentence Constrainer

Generalization Performance in PARSEC - A Structured Connectionist Parsing Architecture
This paper presents PARSEC-a system for generating connectionist parsing networks from example parses. PARSEC is not based on formal grammar systems and is geared toward spoken language tasks. PARSEC networks exhibit three strengths important for application to speech processing: 1) they learn to parse, and generalize well compared to handcoded grammars; 2) they tolerate several types of noise;...
متن کاملPARSEC: a constraint-based framework for spoken language understanding
We have extended Maruyama's 5, 6, 7] constraint dependency grammar (CDG) to process a lattice or graph of sentence hypotheses instead of separate text strings. A post-processor to a speech recognizer producing N-best hypotheses generates the word graph representation, which is then augmented with information required for parsing. We will summarize the CDG parsing algorithm and then describe how...
متن کاملImplementation Issues in the Development of the PARSEC Parser
This paper describes the implementation of a constraint-based parser, PARSEC , which has the required flexibility for a user to easily construct a custom grammar and test it. Once the user designs grammar parameters, constraints, and a lexicon, our system checks them for consistency and creates a parser for the grammar. The parser has an X-windows interface that allows a user to view the state ...

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...
