The effects of word recognition errors (WRE) in Spoken Document Retrieval have been well studied and well reported in recent Information Retrieval (IR) literature. Much less exper...
It has long been recognised that interactivity improves the effectiveness of Information Retrieval systems. Speech is the most natural and interactive medium of communication and ...
We show how the recognition performance of a speech recognition component in a speech retrieval system affects the retrieval effectiveness. A speech retrieval system facilitates c...
In this paper we demonstrate that speech recognition can be effectively applied to information retrieval (IR) applications. Our system exploits the fact that the intended words of...
Spoken dialog tasks incur many errors including speech recognition errors, understanding errors, and even dialog management errors. These errors create a big gap between user'...
