Abstract

Recent neurocognitive researches demonstrate how the natural processing of auditory sentences occurs. Nowadays, there is not an appropriate human-computer speech interaction, and this constitutes a computational challenge to be overtaked. In this direction, we propose a speech comprehension software architecture to represent the flow of this neurocognitive model. In this architecture, the first step is the speech signal processing to written words and prosody coding. Afterwards, this coding is used as input in syntactic and prosodic-semantic analyses. Both analyses are done concomitantly and their outputs are matched to verify the best result. The computational implementation applies wavelets transforms to speech signal codification and data prosodic extraction and connectionist models to syntactic parsing and prosodic-semantic mapping.
