Usable, real-time, interactive spoken language systems

The primary objective of this project is develop a robust, high-performance, domain-independent spoken language system. The system, termed HARC (Hear And Respond to Continuous speech), is composed of the BYBLOS speech recognition and the DELPHI natural ...

Computational approaches have an important role to play in understanding the complex process of speech acquisition, in general, and have recently been popular in studies of vocal learning in particular. In this article we suggest that two ...

• Computational study of vocal learning produces intelligible consonant–vowel syllables.
• Goal-oriented articulatory exploration based on language-oriented speech perception.
• Novel methodology for quantitative evaluation of vocal ...

The goal of this research is to develop a spoken language system that will demonstrate the usefulness of voice input for interactive problem solving. The system will accept continuous speech, and will handle multiple speakers without explicit speaker ...
