Abstract

In this article, we discuss robustness and portability issues forparsing components in interactive speech systems. The robustness isobtained by choosing an appropriate grammar formalism. It should bewell adapted to spontaneous speech effects, which are frequent inthese application domains. Portability, on the other hand, can beachieved by choosing a flexible grammar implementation. We illustrateboth issues by describing a stochasticparsing component implemented and evaluated for spoken languagetranslation and information retrieval applications.
