Integrating uncertain speech evidence into a knowledge-based message generation system for the nonverbal, severely motor disabled
J.R. Deller, Bon K. Sy · 2003
An intelligent communication device is being developed to assist the nonverbal, motor disabled in the generation of written and spoken messages. The device is based on a knowledge base of the grammatical rules and message elements. A 'belief' reasoning scheme makes use of highly uncertain speech-recognition information in combination with the embedded knowledge to optimize the process of message search. The authors focus on the integration of that speech information. Experimental testing of a prototype system to assess the effects of speech evidence is discussed.>
