The broadcast news dictation technology has recently been integrated with information extraction and retrieval technology and many application systems, such as automatic voice document indexing and retrieval systems, are under development. In the human-computer interaction domain, a variety of experimental systems for information retrieval through spoken dialogue are being investigated. In spite of the remarkable recent progress, we are still behind our ultimate goal of understanding free conversational speech uttered by any speaker under any environment. This paper also describes the most important research issues that we should attack in order to advance to our ultimate goal of fluent speech recognition.",

More recent DARPA programs are the broadcast news dictation and natural conversational speech recognition using Switchboard and Call Home tasks. Research on human-computer dialogue systems, the Communicator program, has also started [ 1 ] . Various other systems have been actively investigated in US, Europe and Japan stimulated by DARPA projects.

"text": "The field of automatic speech recognition has witnessed a number of significant advances in the past 5 -10 years, spurred on by advances in signal processing, algorithms, computational architectures, and hardware. These advances include the widespread adoption of a statistical Figure 1 shows a mechanism of state-of-the-art speech recognizers [2] . Common features of these systems are the use of cepstral parameters and their regression coefficients as speech features, triphone HMMs as acoustic models, vocabularies of several thousand or several ten thousand entries, and stochastic language models such as bigrams and trigrams. Such methods have been applied not only to English but also to French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. Although there are several languagespecific characteristics, similar recognition results have been obtained. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 describes recent progress in broadcast news dictation and its application to information extraction, and Section 3 describes human-computer dialogue systems. In spite of the remarkable recent progress, we are still far behind our ultimate goal of understanding free conversational speech uttered by any speaker under any environment. Section 4 describes how to increase the robustness of speech recognition, and Section 5 describes perspectives of linguistic modeling for spontaneous speech recognition/ understanding. Section 6 concludes the paper.",

This is a part of a joint research with the NHK broadcast company whose goal is the closed-captioning of TV programs. The broadcast-news manuscripts that were used for constructing the language models were taken from the period between July 1992 \u2022 and May 1996, and comprised roughly 500k sentences and 22M words. To calculate word ngram language models, we segmented the broadcast-news manuscripts into words by using a morphological analyzer since Japanese sentences are written without spaces between words. A word-frequency list was derived for the news manuscripts, and the 20k most frequently used words were selected as vocabulary words. This 20k vocabulary covers about 98% of the words in the broadcast-news manuscripts. We calculated bigrams and trigrams and estimated unseen n-grams using Katz's back-off smoothing method.",

"text": "Japanese text is written by a mixture of three kinds of characters: Chinese characters (Kanji) and two kinds of Japanese characters (Hira-gana and Kata-kana). Most Kanji have multiple readings, and correct readings can only be decided according to context. Conventional language models usually assign equal probability to all possible readings of each word. This causes recognition errors because the assigned probability is sometimes very different from the true probability. We therefore constructed a language model that depends on the readings of words in order to take into account the frequency and context-dependency of the readings. Broadcast news speech includes filled pauses at the beginning and in the middle of sentences, which cause recognition errors in our language models that use news manuscripts written prior to broadcasting. To cope with this problem, we introduced filled-pause modeling into the language model. News speech data, from TV broadcasts in July 1996, were divided into two parts, a clean part and a noisy part, and were separately evaluated. The clean part consisted of utterances with no background noise, and the noisy part consisted of utterances with background noise. The noisy part included spontaneous speech such as reports by correspondents. We extracted 50 male utterances and 50 female utterances for each part, yielding four evaluation sets; male-clean (m/c), male-noisy (m/n), female-clean (f/c), femalenoisy (fin). Each set included utterances by five or six speakers. All utterances were manually segmented into sentences. Table 1 shows the experimental results for the baseline language model (LM 1) and the new language models. LM2",

The newscasts are automatically segmented and an index is created for each of the segments by means of automatic speech recognition. The user can query the system in natural language by keyboard or through a speech utterance. The system returns a list of segments which is sorted by relevance with respect to the user query. By selecting a segment, the user can watch the corresponding part of the news show on his/her computer screen.",

We applied on-line, unsupervised, instantaneous and incremental speaker adaptation combined with automatic detection of speaker changes [4] . The MLLR [ 15] -MAP [ 16] and VFS (vector-field smoothing) [17] methods were instantaneously and incrementally carried out for each utterance. The adaptation process is as follows. For the first input utterance, the speaker-independ\u00a2nt model is used for both recognition and adaptation, and the first speaker-adapted model is created. For the second input utterance, the likelihood value of the utterance given the speaker-independent model and that given the speaker-adapted model are calculated and compared. If the former value is larger, the utterance is considered to be the beginning of a new speaker, and another speakeradapted model is created. Otherwise, the existing speaker-adapted model is incrementally adapted. For the succeeding input utterances, speaker changes are detected in the same way by comparing the acoustic likelihood values of each utterance obtained from the speaker-independent model and some speaker-adapted models. If the speaker-independent model yields a larger likelihood than any of the speaker-adapted models, a speaker change is detected and a new speaker-adapted model is constructed. Experimental results show that the adaptation reduced the word error rate by 11.8 % relative to the speaker-independent models.",

When recognizing spontaneous speech in dialogues, it is necessary to deal with variations that are not encountered when recognizing speech that is read from texts. These variations include extraneous words, out-of-vocabulary words, ungrammatical sentences, disfluency, partial words, repairs, hesitations, and repetitions. It is crucial to develop robust and flexible parsing algorithms that match the characteristics of spontaneous speech. A paradigm shift from the present transcription-based approach to a detection-based approach will be important to solve such problems [2] . How to extract contextual information, predict users' responses, and focus on key words are very important issues.",

It would also be useful to integrate unification grammars and context-free grammars for efficient word prediction. Style shifting is also an important problem in spontaneous speech recognition. In typical laboratory experiments, speakers are reading lists of words rather than trying to accomplish a real task. Users actually trying to accomplish a task, however, use a different linguistic style. Adaptation of linguistic models according to tasks, topics and speaking styles is a very important issue, since collecting a large linguistic database for every new task is difficult and costly.",

This criterion is reasonable for dictating read speech. However, the ultimate goal of automatic speech recognition is to extract the underlying messages of the speaker from the speech signals. Hence we need to model the process of speech generation and recognition as shown in Fig. 9 [ 18] , where M is the message (content) that a speaker intended to convey. models in the same way as in usual recognition processes. We assume that P(M) has a uniform probability for all M. Therefore, we only need to consider further the term P(~M). We assume that P(~M) can be expressed as follows. where ~, 0<-/1.<1, is a weighting factor. P(W), the first term of the right hand side, represents a part of P(~M) that is independent of Mand can be given by a general statistical language model. P'(WIM), the second term of the right hand side, represents the part ofP(WIA D that depends on M. We consider that M is represented by a co-occurrence of words based on the distributional hypothesis by Harris [ 19] . Since this approach formulates P'(WIM) without explicitly representing M, it can use information about the speaker's message M without being affected by the quantization problem of topic classes. This new formulation of speech recognition was applied to the Japanese broadcast news dictation, and it was found that word error rates for the clean set were slightly reduced by this method.",
