The treatment of compounds in a morphological component for speech recognition

This paper describes a morphological component in a speech recognition system for German dealing with the construction of complex word form hypotheses out of a lattice of simplex forms.Our example is the recognition of compounds from their individual components. Evaluation results are presented for speech recognition with and without morphologically based word recognition.Dieser Aufsatz beschreibt eine Morphologiekomponente in einem Spracherkennungssystem für das Deutsche, welche die Konstruktion von komplexen Worthypothesen aus einem Wörtergitter von Simplizia am Beispiel der Erkennung von Komposita aus ihren Einzelbestandteilen behandelt. Evaluationsergebnisse fur morphologisch und nicht-morphologisch basierte Worterkennung werden vorgestellt

Morphology and speech technology

This paper describes a morphological component in a speech recognition architecture for German dealing with the recognition of compounds from their individual constituents. The specification of our morphological model allows for variation in functionality, e.g. the reconstruction of split compounds, of lexicalised, and of non-lexicalised (unknown) compounds.An implementation and evaluation results for split compounds are presented
