Robust parsing of severely corrupted spoken utterances

چکیده
This paper describes a technique for enabling a speech understanding system to deal with sentences for which some monosyllabic words are not recognized. Such words are supposed to act as mere syntactic markers within the system linguistic domain. This result is achieved by combining a modified caseframe approach to linguistic knowledge representation with a parsing strategy able to integra te expectat ions from the language model and predictions from words. Experimental results show that the proposed technique permits to greatly increase the quota of corrupted sentences correctly understandable without sensibly decreasing parsing efficiency.

Parsing spoken language without syntax
Parsing spontaneous speech is a difficult task because of the ungrammatical nature of most spoken utterances. To overpass this problem, we propose in this paper to handle the spoken language without considering syntax. We describe thus a microsemantic parser which is uniquely based on an associative network of semantic priming. Experimental results on spontaneous speech show that this parser st...
متن کاملRobust parsing and spoken negotiative dialogue with databases
This paper presents a robust parsing algorithm and semantic formalism for the interpretation of utterances in spoken negotiative dialogue with databases. The algorithm works in two passes: a domain-specific pattern-matching phase and a domain-independent semantic analysis phase. Robustness is achieved by limiting the set of representable utterance types to an empirically motivated subclass whic...
متن کاملStochastic Dependency Parsing of Spontaneous Japanese Spoken Language
This paper describes the characteristic features of dependency structures of Japanese spoken language by investigating a spoken dialogue corpus, and proposes a stochastic approach to dependency parsing. The method can robustly cope with inversion phenomena and bunsetsus which don’t have the head bunsetsu by relaxing the syntactic dependency constraints. The method acquires in advance the probab...

متن کاملWhich rules for the robust parsing of spoken utterances with Lexicalized ' Iree Adjoining Gramn 1 ars ?
In the context of spoken dialogue systems, we investigated a bottom-up robust parsing for LTAG (Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars) that interleaves a syntactic and a semantic structure. When the regular syntactic composition rules fail, the syntactic islands and the corresponding partial semantic structures are combined thanks to additional local rules. We supply some descriptive limits of th...
