This paper explores the possibility to use grapheme-based word and sub-word models in the task of spoken term detection (STD). The usage of grapheme models eliminates the need for expert-prepared pronunciation lexicons (which are often far from complete) and/or trainable grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) al…
This paper describes the development of a stateless spoken spoken language understanding (SLU) module based on artificial neural networks that is able to deal with the uncertainty of the automatic speech recognition (ASR) output. The work builds upon the concept of weighted neurons introduced by the…
The paper presents a method for converting word-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) lattices into word-semantic (W-SE) lattices that contain original words together with a partial semantic information - so-called semantic entities. Semantic entity detection algorithm generates semantic entities…
