Speech and Language Technology: A UK Strategy (SALTUS-2000)

Abstract

This memorandum contains the text of a discussion document prepared by the author in his position as Chairman of the UK Institute of Acoustics Speech Group. The document introduces 'SALTUS-2000': a strategy for UK research into speech and language technology. The main recommendations are: the establishment of a single competitive-collaborative research programme involving all of the main UK research groups, a public domain task portfolio, parallel civil and defence applications, widely available recordings and databases, agreed performance targets and prescribed assessment procedures. The SALTUS-2000 proposals were presented to the UK speech research community in an address given at the Federation of the Acoustical Societies of Europe (FASE) conference on Speech (SPEECH-88) held in Edinburgh over the period 23-26 August 1988.
