Implementation testing of a hybrid symbolic/statistical multimodal architecture
Edward Kaiser, Philip R. Cohen · 2002
The design and implementation of hybrid symbolic/statistical architectures is a major area of interest in current multimodal system development. Such an architecture attempts to improve multimodal recognition and disambiguation rates by using corpus-based statistics to weight the contributions from various input streams. This is in contrast to current architectures that assume independence between input streams, and combine un-weighted posterior probabilities simply by taking their cross product.
