Semantic hidden Markov networks

چکیده
Although much effort has been put into speech understanding systems there still exists a rather wide gap between acoustic recognition and linguistic interpretation. We propose a formalism for an extremely close interaction of acoustic recognition and higher level analysis. Instead of a strict horizontal interface at the level of hypothesized word sequences or lattices, a vertical interface to the acoustic component is used that can be accessed from linguistic concepts of any degree of abstraction. As the linguistic knowledge is represented in the formalism of Semantic Networks and acoustic recognition is based on Hidden Markov Models the close interaction between the two components was termed Semantic Hidden Markov Networks.

Learning of domain dependent knowledge in semantic networks
For an e cient linguistic analysis of spoken queries a lot of domain speci c knowledge is needed and usually has to be entered manually into the knowledge base of each domain. This makes the adaption of dialogue systems which base on explicit knowledge representation to new domains a very costly procedure. We use a frequency based statistical method combined with general hidden markov models in...
متن کاملSpeech recognition using semantic hidden Markov networks
Semantic Hidden Markov Networks (SHMNs) were first introduced in [2] as a new technique of interfacing between linguistic analysis and word recognition in speech understanding systems. The main difference between SHMNs and the use of traditional language models is that SHMNs always refer to a linguistic concept and impose the linguistic structure as closely as possible on its acoustic counterpa...
متن کاملTalking about 3D scenes: integration of image and speech understanding in a hybrid distributed system
We present a hybrid system that integrates speech and image understanding. Given spoken references, it is able to identify objects of a 3D scene perceived via a stereo camera. Central to our approach is the extraction of qualitative object features and spatial scene properties from acoustic and visual data. The interaction of the understanding processes is performed using a procedural semantic ...
