    Modern speech understanding systems merge interdisciplinary technologies from SignalProcessing, Pattern Recognition, Natural Language, and Linguistics into a unifiedstatistical framework. These systems, which have applications in a wide range of signalprocessing problems, represent a revolution in Digital Signal Processing (DSP). Once afield dominated by vector-oriented processors and linear algebra-based mathematics, thecurrent generation of DSP-based systems rely on sophisticated statistical modelsimplemented using a complex software paradigm. Such systems are now capable ofunderstanding continuous speech input for vocabularies of hundreds of thousands ofwords in operational environments.

    In this course, we will explore the core components of modern statistically-based speechrecognition systems. We will view speech recognition problem in terms of three tasks:signal modeling, network searching, and language understanding. We will conclude ourdiscussion with an overview of state-of-the-art systems, and a review of availableresources to support further research and technology development.

    WORKSHOP PROGRAM

    This workshop is the first in a series of training workshops intended to train entry-levelresearchers on the details of building speech recognition systems using the ISIP system. Becauseseating is limited, preference will be given to graduate students planning on using the ISIPsystem in their research. ISIP will subsidize the travel expenses for students planning to attendthe workshop. Please see the registration page for more details.

    We are now in the second year of our project to build a public domain system that is competitivewith state of the art. An overview of our mission to develop Internet Accessible SpeechRecognition Technology is available on the web. There is also a web site devoted todissemination of information, and a mailing list used to promote discussions within our usercommunity.

    A preliminary agenda for the workshop is shown below. If you have comments or suggestionsabout the agenda, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing you at SRSTW'00.
