Acoustic-Phonetic Transcription and a New Method for Lexical Access with Results on the DARPA Resource Management Task
16 October 1989
Previous research by the authors has been directed toward phonetic transcription of fluent speech. We have applied our techniques to speech recognition on the DARPA Resource Management Task. In order to perform speech recognition, however, the phonetic transcription must be interpreted as a sequence of words. A central component of this process is lexical access for which a novel method is proposed.
