Towards cloud-based speech interfaces for open-domain CogInfoCom systems
Graham Wilcock|Kristiina Jokinen
A web browser accessing Wikipedia is a classic example of an open-domain CogInfoCom system, providing instant high-quality information about any topic, and thereby extending human cognitive capabilities. The WikiTalk system provides alternative spoken dialogue interface to Wikipedia. By implementing on humanoid robots, the robots become systems, capable instantly talking topic. This capability for “open-domain talking” can be useful different applications, such as serving conversational companions. does not currently implement parallel listening”. However, in view recent advances cloud-based speech processing, paper proposes steps towards listening that combine anticipated progress open vocabulary recognition with developments named entity recognition, where now used dynamically updated knowledge source instead fixed gazetteer lists. Wikipedia-based will combined new generation systems.
