On the use of finite state transducers for semantic interpretation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A spoken language understanding (SLU) system is described. It generates hypotheses of conceptual constituents with a translation process. This process is performed by finite state transducers (FST) which accept word patterns from a lattice of word hypotheses generated by an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system. FSTs operate in parallel and may share word hypotheses at their input. Semantic hypotheses are obtained by composition of compatible translations under the control of composition rules. Interpretation hypotheses are scored by the sum of the posterior probabilities of paths in the lattice of word hypotheses supporting the interpretation. A compact structured n-best list of interpretation is obtained and used by the SLU interpretation strategy. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analysis of disassembled executable codes by abstract interpretation
The aim of this paper is to dene the abstract domain, abstract operator, abstract semantic, the environments and states of disassembled executable codes as well as a way to analysis the disassembled executable codes. Nowadays, static analysis on disassembled code going to grow. Reverse engineering and malware analysis use this technique. Thus, we tried to perform pluralization the requirements ...
متن کاملOn the Use of Confidence for Statistical Decision in Dialogue Strategies
This paper describes an interpretation and decision strategy that minimizes interpretation errors and perform dialogue actions which may not depend on the hypothesized concepts only, but also on confidence of what has been recognized. The concepts introduced here are applied in a system which integrates language and interpretation models into Stochastic Finite State Transducers (SFST). Furtherm...
متن کاملEfficient integration of hierarchical knowledge sources and the estimation of semantic confidences for automatic speech interpretation
This thesis presents a system for the interpretation of natural speech which serves as input module for a spoken dialog system. It carries out the task of extracting application-specific pieces of information from the user utterance in order to pass them to the control module of the dialog system. By following the approach of integrating speech recognition and speech interpretation, the system ...
متن کاملQuantification and Implication in Semantic Calendar Expressions Represented with Finite-State Transducers
This paper elaborates a model for representing semantic calendar expressions (SCEs), which correspond to the intensional meanings of natural-language calendar phrases. The model uses finite-state transducers (FSTs) to mark denoted periods of time on a set of timelines represented as a finite-state automaton (FSA). We present a treatment of SCEs corresponding to quantified phrases (any Monday; e...
متن کاملInvited Talk: Sentence Interpretation Using Stochastic Finite State Transducers
An effective way of representing the meaning of a utterance is with frame structures in which a type of sentence is represented by a set of property/value slots. Properties can types of verbs and cases and values are extracted from a sentence and should respect constraints represented by case relations and selectional restrictions involving word senses organized in type hierarchies. Properties ...
