| Abstract(in English) | This paper describes a speech understanding method that uses a translation language model estimated automatically from a text corpus. The translation language model translates the natural language output by a speech recognition system into semantic language. For training the translation language model, words in natural and semantic languages are first clustered using a measure of word contextual similality. Natural and semantic languages are then modeled using grammar networks with the word clusters as nodes in the networks. Co-ocurrence probabilities of transitions in natural-language and semantic-language grammar networks are estimated as parameters of the translation language model. This method was shown to be very effective by experiments using the ARPA ATIS speech understanding evaluation task. |
