| summary | Today, most electronic devices are equipped with voice assistant. Smart phones understand our speech and cars speak to us in charming human voices. The general algorithm of such a technology works generally through the steps below:
In order to make the whole process successful, contribution of highly qualified linguists is essential. For example, expertise in phonetics and phonology of a particular language is crucial for building a high-quality acoustic model of the language. In the same way, it would be extremely difficult to create any decent semantic model of a language without qualified knowledge in morpho-syntax and semantics of the language.
In this lecture, the basic mechanism of voice assistant technology and the contribution of linguists to the technology will be illustrated with appropriate examples. In addition to the linguistic knowledge, we will also discuss various other qualities of a competent language expert in the field of speech technology. |
