The 1975 Modular Acoustic Processor (MAP): Diadic segment classification and final phonemic string estimation

Abstract

The Modular Acoustic Processor (MAP), a complex experimental system for automatic derivation of phonemic string output for continuous speech, was first described in April 1974. Many of the new concepts currently in MAP are described. In particular, the problems concerning the diadic segment classification and final string estimation are discussed, and the current solutions given. Results on a large body of continuous speech data, prepared by an automatic evaluation system will also be presented.
