Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 The natural language processing system 100 is schematically represented. The system interprets spoken word input (such as sentence fragments 102) and outputs codes that a computer can understand (such as machine instructions 104). The overall system allows a human to speak directly to a computer in normal human language.

[0019] The main components of system 100 are speech recognition unit 110 , part of speech marker 112 , disfluency identifier 114 and grammar parser 118 . The disfluency discriminator operates using the model 116 .

[0020] The speech recognition unit 110 transcribes a human speech sound into text data. This text is then sent to a part of speech tagger 112 which labels each text word with a part of speech (POS) tag such as "noun", "verb", etc. The text annotated with POS tags is input to the disfluency identifier 114 . The disfluency discriminator and its model 116 decide which words should be clipped and ignored from the text for improve...

Abstract

An advanced model that includes new processes is provided for use as a component of an effective disfluency identifier. The disfluency identifier tags edited words in transcribed speech. A speech recognition unit in combination with a part-of-speech tagger, a disfluency identifier, and a parser form a natural language system that helps machines properly interpret spoken utterances.

Description

technical field [0001] Generally, the present invention relates to natural language processing. In particular, it deals with handling unfluent sentences. Background technique [0002] Natural language processing is the science of getting computers to interpret instructions or information the way humans do. Now consider the task of setting the oven temperature as an example. Practically anyone can understand the spoken command "set the oven to three hundred and fifty degrees (set the oven to 350 degrees)". And people totally understand some variations, like, "set the umm burner, I mean oven, to three hundred and fifty degrees" or, "set the oven to, you know, like three hundred and fifty degrees (position the oven, you know, about 350 degrees)". [0003] But even if it could turn spoken sounds into text words with great accuracy, the computer controlling the oven would have a hard time knowing which parts of spoken instructions to ignore. How exactly should a computer int...
