Recent advances in automatic speech recognition

Abstract The paper reviews the work done in speech recognition and understanding, mostly in the years 1976–1977. The attention is focussed on problems of system organization, use and representation of syntax and semantics, control strategies, lexical classification, extraction and emission of hypotheses about acoustic, phonetic and phonemic features.
