摘要： In the system, a speech input uttered by a human is received by a microphone which outputs microphone output signals. The speech input received by the microphone is then recognized by a speech recognition unit, and a synthetic speech response appropriate for the speech input recognized by the speech recognition unit is generated and outputted from a loudspeaker to the human. In recognizing the speech input, the speech recognition unit receives input signals in which the synthetic speech response, outputted from the loudspeaker and then received by the microphone, is cancelled from the microphone output signals.

摘要： A microphone array input type speech recognition scheme capable of realizing a high precision sound source position or direction estimation by a small amount of calculations, and thereby realizing a high precision speech recognition. A band-pass waveform, which is a waveform for each frequency bandwidth, is obtained from input signals of the microphone array, and a band-pass power of the sound source is directly obtained from the band-pass waveform. Then, the obtained band-pass power is used as the speech parameter. It is also possible to realize the sound source estimation and the band-pass power estimation at high precision while further reducing an amount of calculations, by utilizing a sound source position search processing in which a low resolution position estimation and a high resolution position estimation are combined.

摘要： A speech dialogue system capable of realizing natural and smooth dialogue between the system and a human user, and easy maneuverability of the system. In the system, a semantic content of input speech from a user is understood and a semantic content determination of a response output is made according to the understood semantic content of the input speech. Then, a speech response and a visual response according to the determined response output are generated and outputted to the user. The dialogue between the system and the user is managed by controlling transitions between user states during which the input speech is to be entered and system states during which the system response is to be outputted. The understanding of a semantic content of input speech from a user is made by detecting keywords in the input speech, with the keywords to be detected in the input speech limited in advance, according to a state of a dialogue between the user and the system.
