The Integration of Unification-based Syntax/Semantics and Memory-based Pragmatics for Real-Time Understanding of Noisy Continuous Speech Input

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

Real-time understanding of speech input is difficult especially because the input is often noisy and elliptic. Multiple morphophonemic and lexical hypotheses generated for a single input sentence cannot be resolved by local semantics alone. We have developed a system in which unification-based parsing of speech input is integrated with thematic memory-based spreading activation that supplies extra-sentential knowledge that can help to disambiguate noisy and elliptic real-time speaker-independent continuous speech input.
