SIROCCO project Unlimited Vocabulary Speech Recognition INRIA (IRISA et LORIA), LIA, IRIT, ENST-LTCI http://www.irisa.fr/sirocco/
SIROCCO • Unlimited vocabulary speech recognition system • French lexicon (MathLex) with 64kwords (AUF task) • Feature extraction with Spro (G. Gravier) • Context-dependent HMM phone models • Word pronunciation graph • Uses CMU-Toolkit for Language modeling • Beam search for word hypothesis • Rescoring of word hypothesis by A*

MAJORDOME ( E-mail • Speaker verification • Dialogue • Routing • Updating the agenda • Automatic summary Voice Fax Majordome’s Functionalities
Overview of Majordome • Background tasks (server-side only): • sorting and filtering messages from different sources (E-mail, voice, fax, SMS,…); • extracting relevant information for reporting to user (names of senders, subject,…). • Dialogue with the user: over phone or Web. • The system presents the state of the mailbox, the type of messages, their sender, subject, and may sum them up or read them on request; • The users access their mailbox, addressbook, time schedule, or URIs (Web addresses).
Voice technology in Majordome • Server side background tasks: continuous speech recognition applied to voice messages upon reception • Detection of sender name and subject • User interaction: • Speaker’s identification • Speech recognition (receiving users’ commands through voice interaction) • Text-to-speech synthesis (reading text summaries, E-mails or faxes)

A framework: A L I S P Automatic Language Independent Speech Processing with applications in Speech Coding, Synthesis, Recognition, Speaker Verification and Language Identification
Perspectives • The application context of the Majordome project could be of interest to COST-278. • The Majordome/NetCentrex platform could be made available to interested partners. • HTK, ISIP and SIROCCO softwares are available as freeware. One of them will be used on the NetCentrex platform.
