| Research Abstract |
We have developed a Japanese dictation system which can convert a continuous speech uttered by unspecified speaker to a Kanji-Kana string. The system is composed of an acoustic processing part, a spotting part of Bunsetsu-like units and a syntax and semantic processing part. Our object is to recognize a sentence speech whose syntax and semantic structures are syntactically and semantically reasonable. In the acoustic processing part, an input speech is analized by a 29 channel band-pass filter bank. Segment features are extracted from short-time spectra using time-spectrum patterns and then converted to a phoneme string. In the spotting part of Bunsetsu-like units, Bunsetsu-like units are spotted from a phoneme string using a syntactic driven continuous DP can dominantly reduce the amounts of computation and storage necessary to spot Bunsetsu-like units. Inthe syntactic and semantic processing part, functional features are given to Bunsetsu-like unit candidates from lexical items, where functional features contains syntactic and semantic information. Possibility of concatenation between two adjacent Bunsetsu-like units is checked based on the functional features and then the two adjacent units make a larger unit if satisfying syntactic and semantic reasonability, and thus a complete sentence is finally made.
When a speaker utterd a sentence by a Bunsetsu-like unit, 60% of sentence recognition score is obtained in case of 85% phoneme recognition score. 80% of sentence recognition score is obtained in case of 95% phoneme recognition score. Refining the rules in syntactic and semantic processing part can improve the sentence recognition score.
