Speech-driven text retrieval: Using target IR collections for statistical language model adaptation in speech recognition

by Atsushi Fujii, Katunobu Itou, Tetsuya Ishikawa - Information Retrieval Techniques for Speech Applications (LNCS 2273 , 2002
"... Abstract. Speech recognition has of late become a practical technology for real world applications. Aiming at speech-driven text retrieval, which facilitates retrieving information with spoken queries, we propose a method to integrate speech recognition and retrieval methods. Since users speak conte ..."

Experiments in Spoken Queries for Document Retrieval

by J. Barnett, S. Anderson, J. Broglio, M. Singh, R. Hudson, S. W. Kuo , 1997
"... We report the results of three experiments using the errorful output of a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system as the input to a statistical information retrieval (IR) system. Our goal is to allow a user to speak, rather than type, query terms into an IR engine and still obt ..."

documents will still be retrieved. This paper presents evidence that speech-driven IR can be effective, although with a reduced precision. We also find that longer spoken queries produce higher precision retrieval than shorter queries. For queries containing many (50-60) search terms and a recognizer word

Collecting spontaneously spoken queries for information retrieval

by Tomoyosi Akiba, Atsushi Fujii, Katunobu Itou - In Proceedings of 4th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation , 2004
"... Motivated to realize the speech-driven information retrieval systems that accept spontaneously spoken queries, we developed a method to collect such speech data derived from the pre-defined search topics that had been systematically constructed for IR research. In order to evaluate both our method a ..."

Information Retrieval Methods for Automatic Speech Recognition

by Xiaoqiang Xiao, Alex Acero - in ICASSP , 2010
"... In this paper, we use information retrieval (IR) techniques to im-prove a speech recognition (ASR) system. The potential benefits include improved speed, accuracy, and scalability. Where conven-tional HMM-based speech recognition systems decode words di-rectly, our IR-based system first decodes subw ..."

Chinese News Report and Summarization System

by Weiquan Liu, Joe F Zhou
"... This demo shows a concept-driven search engine provides human intelligence to the user who desires to seek for relevant information over Internet. Coupled with an auto summarizer and a text-to-speech engine, the retrieved information can be delivered to the user succinctly and in a human conversatio ..."

INVITED PAPER Speech-Centric

by An Optimization-oriented
"... The authors present a statistical framework for the end-to-end system design where the interactions between automatic speech recognition and downstream text-based processing tasks are fully incorporated and design consistency established. By Xiaodong He, Senior Member IEEE, and Li Deng, Fellow IEEE ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
ABSTRACT | Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a central and common component of voice-driven information processing systems in human language technology, including spoken language translation (SLT), spoken language understanding (SLU), voice search, spoken document retrieval, and so on. Interfacing ASR

Minimal Commitment and Full Lexical Disambiguation: Balancing Rules and Hidden Markov Models

by Patrick Ruch Robert, Robert Baud, Pierrette Bouillon, Gilbert Robert - In Proceedings of the 5 th CoNLL Conference , 2000
"... In this paper we describe the construction of a part-of-speech tagger both for medical document retrieval purposes and XP extraction. Therefore we have designed a double system: for retrieval purposes, we rely on a rule-based architecture, called minimal commitment, which is likely to be completed b ..."
