SRI Gemini System

Optional modules in Gemini provide robustness through a novel technique for detecting and correcting speech repairs, and by heuristically combining interpretations of grammatical fragments into an overall interpretation for the utterance, in cases where the Gemini grammar and lexicon do not provide a single complete analysis. Gemini has also been used as part of a language model to increase speech recognition accuracy. Recently we have developed software to compile Gemini grammars into context-free grammars that can be directly used as language models in the Nuance speech recognizer (a commercially available system based on SRI-developed technology).
