Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) I have been working on automatic speech recognition(ASR)research for almost 40 years. Although ASR technology has made significant progress based on statistical techniques during this period, its performance is still far below that of human beings. Technological progress reported at conferences and in journals has recently begun to saturate, and it is unclear how we can best continue to approach human levels of accuracy. It seems that something is missing in the approach of current research. Although it is unclear exactly what is missing, it seems we need to construct a framework for statistical knowledge processing which can achieve reliable recognition by optimally combining various knowledge resources modeled at many levels.
