Speech and Human Language Technology at the Naval Research Laboratory

Following a brief introduction to the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), specific on-going research in speech and human language technology will be presented. Areas of research fall across two laboratories in the Information Technology Division, the Human Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCI) and the Navy Center for Applied Research in Artificial Intelligence (NCARAI). Speech research focuses on narrowband algorithm development and uses human based intelligibility to evaluate success. Demonstrations of results will be played. Navy has been a prominent participant in evaluation of narrowband speech. Current efforts on human-human communication evaluation will provide a basis for new approaches to multi-mode interactions which include speech interfaces. Finally, a video of on-going efforts at NCARAI on the EUCALYPTUS system which include graphics and spoken language interaction will be shown.
