Recent improvements and benchmark results for the Paramax ATIS system
Lewis M. Norton, Deborah A. Dahl, Marcia C. Linebarger · 1992
This paper describes three relatively domain-independent capabilities recently added to the Paramax spoken language understanding system: non-monotonic reasoning, implicit reference resolution, and database query paraphrase. In addition, we discuss the results of the February 1992 ATIS benchmark tests. We describe a variation on the standard evaluation metric which provides a more tightly controlled measure of progress. Finally, we briefly describe an experiment which we have done in extending the n-best speech/language integration architecture to improving OCR accuracy.
