Computer Systems for High-Performance Speech Recognition

  • Conference paper
New Systems and Architectures for Automatic Speech Recognition and Synthesis

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 16))

Abstract

The object of this review and position paper is to draw a parallel between the field of high-performance speech recognition systems on one side and the field of computer systems (in particular computer systems for Artificial Intelligence applications) on the other. This paper gives a characterization of the computational requirements of speech recognition systems, and describes and exemplifies the classes of machines that could be useful in speeding up speech recognition systems.

This research was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DOD), ARPA Order No. 3597, monitored by the Air Force Avionics Laboratory Under Contract F33615-81-K-1539.
