Abstract

This paper presents the result of an experimental system aimed at performing a robust semantic analysis of analysed speech input in the area of information system access. The goal of this experiment was to investigate the effectiveness of such a system in a pipelined architecture, where no control is possible over the morpho-syntactic analysis which precedes the semantic analysis and query formation.
