One approach to ASR is based on the Hearsay II (ref 1) architecture which utilises a nurober of phonetic and linguistic knowledge sources in its recognition process. The fundamental ideas behind the Hearsay II architecture has been used with a Danish speech project, which is aiming for industrial applications implemented into a Standard microprocessor system to demonstrate a continuous speech, ...

The otic placode is a transient embryonic structure that gives rise to the inner ear. Although inductive signals for otic placode formation have been characterized, less is known about the molecules that respond to these signals within otic primordia. Here, we identify a mutation in zebrafish, hearsay, which disrupts the initiation of placode formation. We show that hearsay disrupts foxi1, a fo...

In order to evacuate smoothly and safely at a large earthquake, it is important to obtain the information on property damages (such as street-blockage and fire) and on evacuation areas by hearsay, guidance and bulletin boards. In this paper, we construct a model, which describes wide-area evacuation, information-hearsay among evacuees and guidance behavior. Using this model, we evaluate the inf...

The Hearsay model has heen presented as a paradigm for attacking errorful knowledge-intensive problems requiring multiple, cooperating knowledge sources. The Hearsay-II architecture is the latest attempt to explore the model. This paper describes experiences gained while successfully applying this architecture to the problem of speech understanding. The major conclusions are: 1. The paradigm of...
