Spoken Language Generation and Understanding

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 59))

Abstract

In this paper the following points are briefly described about a system for syntactic recognition of phonemes:

  • The analyser: filter bank with parameters based on the human cochlea

  • The results obtained from this analyser concerning the classification rules for vowels, fricative and stop consonants

  • The organisation of a system for syntactic recognition of phonemes using features as base level

  • Some results obtained with this recognition system.
