Abstract

This paper describes a real-time task-oriented spontaneous speech understanding system, which extracts semantic content from the spotted keyword lattice using a newly developed LR parser. The parser is driven whenever a keyword candidate is spotted. The keyword candidates are fed into the parser to construct a semantic structure using a grammar. This efficient parsing enables real-time initialstate-free speech understanding. The parser comprises the following functional components: initial-state processing to check if a keyword candidate can be an initial keyword and to create a parsing stack, keyword connection processing to check if a current keyword can connect with a subsentence candidate, sentence acceptance processing to check if subsentence candidates can be accepted as a sentence candidate.
