Speech and Language Processing: Can We Use the Past to Predict the Future?
نویسنده
چکیده
Where have we been and where are we going? Three types of answers will be discussed: consistent progress, oscillations and discontinuities. Moore’s Law provides a convincing demonstration of consistent progress, when it applies. Speech recognition error rates are declining by 10× per decade; speech coding rates are declining by 2× per decade. Unfortunately, fields do not always move in consistent directions. Empiricism dominated the field in the 1950s, and was revived again in the 1990s. Oscillations between Empiricism and Rationalism may be inevitable, with the next revival of Rationalism coming in the 2010s, assuming a 40-year cycle. Discontinuities are a third logical possibility. From time to time, there will be fundamental changes that invalidate fundamental assumptions. As petabytes become a commodity (in the 2010s), old apps like data entry (dictation) will be replaced with new priorities like data consumption (search).

Teaching approaches to Computer Assisted Language Learning
Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case,...

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to predict behavior problems by language development and secure attachment based on mediation role of self-regulation in cochlear implanted children. Method: In this correlation study 114 available cochlear implanted children in the age range of 3-7 years that at least one year has passed from the Cochlear Implant program were selected with available...
متن کاملNative-like Event-related Potentials in Processing the Second Language Syntax: Late Bilinguals
Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
متن کاملDeveloping and Evaluating the Validity and Reliability of the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire of Iranian Mothers about the Development of Communication, Language, Speech, and Swallowing of Persian-Speaking Children Aged 18 to 36 Month
Background and Objectives: The mother's knowledge and attitude about the child's developmental norms can affect their practice and the quality of parent-child interaction. The quality of a child's development in the early years significantly impacts their personality and future success. Therefore, this study aims to develop and investigate the psychometric characteristics of the Iranian mother'...
متن کاملImproving Phoneme Sequence Recognition using Phoneme Duration Information in DNN-HSMM
Improving phoneme recognition has attracted the attention of many researchers due to its applications in various fields of speech processing. Recent research achievements show that using deep neural network (DNN) in speech recognition systems significantly improves the performance of these systems. There are two phases in DNN-based phoneme recognition systems including training and testing. Mos...
متن کاملExploring EFL Learners’ Use of Formulaic Sequences in Pragmatically Focused Role-play Tasks
Communicative language use largely entails regular patterns consisting of pre-constructed phrases or sequences. These sequences have been examined by many researchers to find the situation-based formulas which may help L2 learners follow a possibly more target-like speaking system. This study, therefore, explored two categories of formulaic expressions including speech formulas and situation-bo...
