Hybrid Connectionist and Classical Approaches in JANUSAn Advanced

چکیده
| In this paper we report on our eeorts to combine speech and language processing toward multilingual spontaneous speech translation. The ongoing work extends our JANUS system eeort toward handling spontaneous spoken discourse and multiple languages. After an overview of the task, databases, and the system architecture we will focus on how connectionist modules are integrated in the overall system design. We will show that these modules can because of their learning capabilities adapt themselves to the problem space. Moreover, because of their inherent robustness against noise they seem to be an adequate tool for analyzing spontaneous speech.

Connectionism the Miracle Mind Model
Connectionism as a model of the mind has recently been challenging the Classical model, in which the mind is regarded as symbol manipulating system. The main arguments against Connectionism concern its inability to form mental representations for complex expressions, which can be used for structure sensitive operations. Some argue for hybrid models which combine some of the most attractive feat...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF A NEW HYBRID CONNECTIONIST-SCHMM APPROACH WITH OTHER HYBRID APPROACHES FOR SPEECH RECO - Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1995. ICASSP-95., 1995 International Conference on
This paper compares a newly proposed hybrid connectionist-SCHMM approach [5] with other hybrid a p proaches. In the new approach a multilayer perceptron (MLP) replaces the conventional codebooks of semicontinuous HMMs. The MLP is therefore trained on s w d k d basic elements (phones and phone parts) in such a way that the outputs of the network estimate the a posteriori probabilities of these e...
متن کاملHybrid Approaches to Neural Network-based Language Processing
In this paper we outline hybrid approaches to arti cial neural network-based natural language processing. We start by motivating hybrid symbolic/connectionist processing. Then we suggest various types of symbolic/connectionist integration for language processing: connectionist structure architectures, hybrid transfer architectures, hybrid processing architectures. Furthermore, we focus particul...

need for such models has been growing slowly but steadily over the past five years. Some new, important approaches have been proposed and developed, some of which were presented at the workshop. In sum, the participants felt that it was definitely worthwhile to further pursue research in this area because it might generate important new ideas and significant new applications in the near future....
متن کاملFirst Report on Screening of the Profiles of the Essential Oils and Volatiles from the Aerial Parts of Marrubium persicum Using Classical and Advanced Methods Prior to Gas Chromatographic Mass Spectrometric Determination
The Lamiaceae family consists of a broad spectrum of medicinal plants involving Marrubium L. genus. Regarding the diverse pharmaceutical uses of the plants belonging to this genus, they can be considered as proper alternatives for chemical drugs having harmful effects. The present work aims to identify and characterize chemical compositions of the essential oils and volatiles from the aerial pa...
