Speech Recognition: Are We Having Fun Yet?
R. Schwartz (BBN Technologies, GTE-Internetworking, USA);
Automatic speech recognition has progressed dramatically over the last decade.
There are now, finally, several applications that are widely used. But speech
recognition still has a long way to go before it can be judged fully functional.
This plenary talk will describe the state of the art and give some examples of
fielded applications. Most of the talk will be devoted to how we might progress
from now on. In particular, we will discuss possible sources for improvement in
speech recognition accuracy. In addition, it will discuss the use of speech
recognition in applications that require some degree of understanding, and
predict what is needed for those applications to become pervasive.
