Abstract

An early release software product for the rapid development of spoken dialog systems (SDS’s), known as Lyrebird™ [1][2][3], will be demonstrated that makes use of grammatical inference to build natural language, mixed initiative, speech recognition applications.

The demonstration will consist of the presenter developing a spoken dialog system using Lyrebird™, and will include a demonstration of some features that are still in the prototype phase.
