A Cockpit Natural Language Study: Vocabulary and Grammar Analyses.

Abstract

This report describes recent work which was conducted to facilitate research and development efforts in the use of voice interaction in fighter cockpits. Definitions of an operational vocabulary and grammar are starting points for studying the use of voice interaction in fighter cockpits. This report provides an initial definition of a vocabulary, based on a Pilot's Associate equipped fighter. It also provides software tools for vocabulary, and grammar analysis. Researchers in this area need such tools to adapt quickly to changing technologies as they are applied to cockpits, with consequent changes to vocabulary and grammars. These software tools (1) assist in processing a vocabulary into a lexicon for use by parsers, (2) assist in developing grammars for parsers, and (3) assist in determining semantics from parsers steps. Keywords: Avionics, Speech technology, Pilot vehicle interface, Natural language.
