Overview of the DARPA Speech and Natural Language Workshop
Lynette Hirshman · 1989
The aim of the first joint Speech and Natural Language Workshop was to bring together these two research communities, to interchange technical information, to reflect on past successes and to define future directions for Spoken Language research. The overall organization of the technical program was designed 1) to establish some common reference points by assessing the current state of the art in both Speech Recognition and Natural Language Processing; 2) to cross-educate researchers in the discipline of lesser familiarity; 3) to highlight areas of common interest, namely prosodics, spoken language systems, and development of shared resources; and 4) to present current research results in both fields.
