Development of the HRL route navigation dialogue system
TL;DR: A prototype route navigation dialogue system for use in a vehicle that delivers spoken turn-by-turn directions and has been developed to accept naturally phrased navigation queries as part of an effort to create an in-vehicle information system which delivers information as requested while placing minimal cognitive load on the driver.

Method and apparatus for fast on-line automatic speaker/environment adaptation for speech/speaker recognition in the presence of changing environments
TL;DR: In this article, a fast on-line automatic speaker/environment adaptation suitable for speech/speaker recognition system, method and computer program product is presented, which consists of a computer system including a processor, a memory coupled with the processor, an input coupled with a processor for receiving acoustic signals, and an output coupled with an output for outputting recognized words or sounds.

Encoded speech recognition accuracy improvement in adverse environments by enhancing formant spectral bands.
Shubha Kadambe,Ron Burns +1 more
TL;DR: A technique that improves the recognition accuracy of noisy encoded speech signals by performing spectral correction and spectral formant band enhancement before synthesizing the speech signal from the compressed features is described.
Proceedings Article
What²s next: a case study in the multidimensionality of a dialog system.
TL;DR: It is argued that conversational dialog systems must model a multidimensional space defined by syntactico-semantic, circumstantial, and interactional dimensions.
Proceedings Article
Spoken language navigation systems for drivers.
TL;DR: This paper discusses both the current driver interfaces to navigation systems under evaluation, which does not recognize street names, as well as the enhanced system, under parallel development, whichdoes recognizes street names.
