The Keystroke Savings Limit in Word Prediction for AAC
نویسندگان
چکیده
Word prediction is a method for enhancing the communication ability of persons with speech and language impairments. In this work, we demonstrate that two measurement settings affect evaluation of word prediction systems significantly, and that consideration of these settings is crucial to accurate interpretation of results.

The effect of context priming and task type on augmentative communication performance.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices include special purpose electronic devices that generate speech output and are used by individuals to augment or replace vocal communication. Word prediction, including context specific prediction, has been proposed to help overcome barriers to the use of these devices (e.g., slow communication rates and limited access to situation-relate...
متن کاملEvaluating Word Prediction: Framing Keystroke Savings
Researchers typically evaluate word prediction using keystroke savings, however, this measure is not straightforward. We present several complications in computing keystroke savings which may affect interpretation and comparison of results. We address this problem by developing two gold standards as a frame for interpretation. These gold standards measure the maximum keystroke savings under two...
متن کاملWord Prediction Techniques for User Adaptation and Sparse Data Mitigation
The field of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) seeks to help minimize the effects of speech disorders to allow better communication. Hightech AAC devices are electronic devices that address the dual issue of speech impairment and reduced motor control. Communication rate can be improved substantially using word prediction, an application of language modeling to text entry. Word p...
متن کاملWordform- and Class-based Prediction of the Components of German Nominal Compounds in an AAC System
In word prediction systems for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), productive wordformation processes such as compounding pose a serious problem. We present a model that predicts German nominal compounds by splitting them into their modifier and head components, instead of trying to predict them as a whole. The model is improved further by the use of class-based modifierhead bigra...
متن کاملApplying Prediction Techniques to Phoneme-based AAC Systems
It is well documented that people with severe speech and physical impairments (SSPI) often experience literacy difficulties, which hinder them from effectively using orthographicbased AAC systems for communication. To address this problem, phoneme-based AAC systems have been proposed, which enable users to access a set of spoken phonemes and combine phonemes into speech output. In this paper we...
