Intonation and Dialog Context as Constraints for Speech Recognition.

Taylor, Paul; King, Simon; Isard, Stephen; Wright, Helen

Language and Speech, v41 n3-4 p493-512 Jul-Dec 1998

Describes how to use intonation and dialog context to improve the performance of an automatic speech-recognition system. Experiments utilized the DCIEM Maptask corpus, using a separate bigram language model for each type of move and showing that, with the correct move-specific language model for each utterance in the test set, the recognizer's word-error rate drops.
