Abstract
The speech recognition system composing a part of the question-answering system operated by conversational speech is described. The recognition system consists of two stages of process : acoustic processing stage and linguistic processing stage. In the acoustic processing stage, input speech is analyzed and transformed into the phoneme sequence which usually contains ambiguities and errors caused in the segmentation and phoneme recognition. In the linguistic processing stage, the phoneme sequence containing ambiguities and errors is converted into the correct word sequence by the use of the linguistic knowledge such as phoneme rewriting rules, lexicon, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The voice-operated question-answering system for seat reservation is constructed by computer simulation technique and the promising results are obtained.Keywords
