FASTUS is a system for extracting information from free text in English, and potentially other languages as well, for entry into a database, and potentially for other applications. It works…

In this paper we present a hybrid multilayer perceptron (MLP)/hidden Markov model (HMM) speaker-independent continuous-speech recognition system, in which the advantages of both approaches are combined by using MLPs to…

An approach to modeling long-term consistencies in peech signal within the framework of a hybrid Hidden Markov Model (HMM) / Multilayer Perceptron (MLP peaker-independent continuous-speech recognition system is presented.

We present here criteria and techniques for automatically detecting the presence of a repair, its location, and making the appropriate correction. The criteria involve integration of knowledge from several sources:…

In this paper we present a training method and a network architecture for the estimation of context-dependent observation probabilities in the framework of a hybrid Hidden Markov Model (HMM) /…

In this paper we present a new MLP architecture and training procedure for modeling context-dependent phonetic classes with a sequence of distributions.

We present a speaker-independent, continuous-speech recognition system based on a hybrid multilayer perceptron (MLP)/hidden Markov model (HMM). The system combines the advantages of both approaches by using MLPs to estimate…

The work described here involved integrating neural networks into a hidden Markov model-based state-of-the-art continuous-speech recognition system, resulting in improvements in recognition accuracy and reductions in model complexity.

This paper presents an interface that blends natural language processing and direct manipulation technologies, using each for their characteristic advantages. Specifically, the paper shows how to use natural language to…

We describe and evaluate a method for dealing with unknown words and a method for filtering out sentences irrelevant to the task. Each of these techniques has been evaluated, and…

In this paper a recent approach to inference in text understanding based on abduction is applied to the problem of metaphor interpretation. The fundamental ideas in the "interpretation as abduction"…
