Subject: IOA Meeting: Integrating Speech and Natural Language Technology
************************ Call for Papers ***********************
INSTITUTE OF ACOUSTICS SPEECH GROUP
One Day Meeting on
INTEGRATING SPEECH RECOGNITION & NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Hosted by the Laboratory for Natural Language Engineering
University of Durham, UK
The theme of this meeting is to explore ways in which research into
speech recognition technology and natural language processing can be
integrated to produce spoken language understanding systems.
The US ARPA Spoken Language Systems (SLS) programme encourages the
integration of SR and NLP systems in the ATIS domain and the CSR
programme has had one or two word recognition systems that use NL
techniques. The traditional approach is for an NL system to post-process
the n-best output of an SR system. How successful is this approach, what
are its limitations?
What is the future of speech recognition, especially with respect to the
handling of more natural, spontaneous, speech? Do NL systems have
anything to offer, perhaps through providing summaries instead of
verbatim recognition?
The meeting will take place in Durham on
Thursday, 23rd March, 1995
Prospective speakers should send a short abstract of their talk to
Russell Collingham (address at the end of this message) NO LATER THAN
Friday 10th February 1995.
