Objective The aim of the IKAROS project was to evaluate artificial intelligence techniques for speech understanding. This project was complementary to project 64, SPIN. The final demonstrator of the project was to be a speech understanding system running a real application, with the following performance specification: -recognition of up to one thousand words of continuous speech -multi-speaker recognition -multi-lingual processing (handling French, English and German) -natural-type spoken language processing (distinguishing the IKAROS system from most other speech understanding systems, which process artificial languages) -dialogue management. The aim of the project was to evaluate artificial intelligence techniques for speech understanding. The following attributes were required: recognition of up to 1000 words of continuous speech; multispeaker recognition; multilingual processing (handling French, English and German); natural spoken language processing (distinguishing the system from most other speech understanding systems, which process artificial languages); and dialogue management. The project ended with the presentation of an experimental demonstrator, which will act as a vehicle for experimentation, aiding investigation in the use of artificial intelligence techniques and high level knowledge, and demonstrate the style and feasibility of the proposed approach.The project ended with the presentation of an experimental demonstrator, whose purposes were to: -act as a vehicle for experimentation, aiding investigation in the use of artificial intelligence techniques and high-level knowledge -demonstrate the style and feasibility of the proposed approach.
