Abstract
A Program System of Parallel Processes for Understanding Continuous Speech. A system concept is shown which enables several independent processes, each having specialized knowledge about one aspect of a complex real world pattern, to cooperate in parallel, analyzing and understanding this pattern automatically.
A software environment is introdueed, providing an experimenter with tools to define different system configurations and to develop reasonable control strategies for them.
Intended is a usage for the automatic understanding of continuously spoken german sentences. The principles of the various knowledge modules which will be needed for this pattern analysis task are given also.
Zusammenfassung
Ein Programmsystem von parallelen Prozessen zum Verständnis kontinuierlicher Sprache. Es wird ein Systemkonzept vorgestellt, bei dem mehrere unabhängige Prozesse parallel zusammenarbeiten können, um ein komplexes Muster der realen Welt automatisch zu analysieren und zu verstehen. Jeder Prozeß besitzt dazu spezielles Wissen über einen Aspekt des Musters.
Die Softwareumgebung, die es einem Experimentator erlaubt, unterschiedliche Konfigurationen festzulegen und geeignete Kontrollstrategien für diese zu entwickeln, wird beschrieben.
Da eine Verwendung für das automatische Verstehen fließend gesprochener deutscher Sätze vorgesehen ist, werden die Prinzipien der verschiedenen Wissensmodule, die man bei diesem Problem der Musteranalyse benötigt, ebenfalls dargelegt.
