Language understanding using hidden understanding models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the rst sentence understanding system that is completely based on learned methods both for understanding individual sentences, and determinig their meaning in the context of preceding sentences. We describe the models used for each of three stages in the understanding: semantic parsing, semantic classi cation, and discourse modeling. When we ran this system on the last test (December, 1994) of the ARPA Air Travel Information System (ATIS) task, we achieved 14.5% error rate. The error rate for those sentences that are context-independent (class A) was 9.5%.

Hidden Understanding Models of Natural Language
We describe and evaluate hidden understanding models, a statistical learning approach to natural language understanding. Given a string of words, hidden understanding models determine the most likely meaning for the string. We discuss 1) the problem of representing meaning in this framework, 2) the structure of the statistical model, 3) the process of training the model, and 4) the process of u...
متن کاملStatistical Language Processing Using Hidden Understanding Models
This paper introduces a class of statistical mechanisms, called hidden understanding models, for natural language processing. Much of the framework for hidden understanding models derives from statistical models used in speech recognition, especially the use of hidden Markov models. These techniques are applied to the central problem of determining meaning directly from a sequence of spoken or ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Exploration of Hidden Markov Models: From Spelling Recognition to Speech Recognition
Hidden Markov models play a critical role in the modelling and problem solving of important AI tasks such as speech recognition and natural language processing. However, the students often have difficulty in understanding the essence and applications of Hidden Markov models in the context of a cursory introductory coverage of the subject. In this paper, we describe an empirical approach to expl...
متن کاملA Historically Perspective of Speaker-independent Speech Recognition in Romanian Language
In this paper we present our teamwork main results in the area of the automatic speech recognition and understanding in Romanian language using hidden Markov models (HMM), artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron, support vector machines, Kohonen networks) and hybrid models (fuzzy HMM, fuzzy multilayer perceptron, HMM/multilayer perceptron) for different small Romanian language corpora...
متن کاملIranian EFL Learners’ Autonomous Behavior in Out-of-class Contexts: A Call for Understanding Learners’ Personalized Approaches to Learning
The salient, and often ignored, role that out-of-class learning plays in second/foreign language (L2) learners’ development is overshadowed by classroom research. The main aim of this study is to problematize the role of out-of-class learning in the specific English-as-Foreign-Language (EFL) context of Iran by examination of the ways in which four learners attempted to revamp their English lang...
