Combining syntactical and statistical language constraints in context-dependent language models for interactive speech applications

چکیده
In interactive speech applications the expected vocabulary and the expected user utterances change from one dialogue step to the next one. The use of several context dependent language models results in a better system performance than the use of a single model. In this paper we present a new approach combining syntactical and statistical language constraints to a single language model. Recognition results on a database of spelled city names are presented. Furthermore a match against the list of all possible city names is performed.

Code-Copying in the Balochi Language of Sistan
This empirical study deals with language contact phenomena in Sistan. Code-copying is viewed as a strategy of linguistic behavior when a dominated language acquires new elements in lexicon, phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatic organization, etc., which can be interpreted as copies of a dominating language. In this framework Persian is regarded as the model code which provides elements for b...
متن کاملIncorporating Lr Parsing into Sphinx
This paper describes the integration of an LR natural language parser with the SPHINX speech recognition system. SPHINX is one of the most successful speech recognition systems in use today. Although it attains high word accuracy, SPHINX often outputs ungrammatical recognition results because the baseline SPHINX system uses very simple word-pair or bigram language models. For applications of sp...
متن کاملAllophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملInteractive Part-of-Speech Exploration
We discuss the design of a tool for the interactive exploration of part-of-speech classes using structural features. At the heart of the tool are incremental hierarchical clustering algorithms. The algorithms are used to detect classes using morphological and syntactical features. The algorithms have been modified or designed to allow interactive exploration and constrained clustering. We prese...
متن کاملStudying impressive parameters on the performance of Persian probabilistic context free grammar parser
In linguistics, a tree bank is a parsed text corpus that annotates syntactic or semantic sentence structure. The exploitation of tree bank data has been important ever since the first large-scale tree bank, The Penn Treebank, was published. However, although originating in computational linguistics, the value of tree bank is becoming more widely appreciated in linguistics research as a whole. F...
