- B. Suhm, B. Myers, A. Waibel. 2015. DESIGNING INTERACTIVE ERROR RECOVERY METHODS FOR SPEECH INTERFACES. Abstract: We present an approach to interactive recovery from speech recognition errors in the context of spoken language applications, which is motivated from research in the field of linguistics on repair dialogues in human to human conversations. We propose a framework to compare error recovery methods, arguing that a rational user will prefer error recovery methods which provide an optimal trade off between accuracy, speed and naturalness. We conjecture to beat skilled typing in speed, we need real-time speech recognition technology which performs on a 90% word accuracy level. Finally, we describe how we augmented our JANUS speech to speech translation system with prototypical error recovery methods, and presents results from a preliminary evaluation.
