>From the MS Speech Development Kit genre, I believe some of the early SAPI versions, i.e. <= 4.0, did some limited amount of syntactical natural language parsing along with the speech recognition. It's been some time since I looked at this, but I believe my conclusion was that it wasn't all that reliable, i.e. low % accuracy for correct POS identification?, etc. I don't know if this gets you where you want to go, but it might be worth looking at. BTB, it seems a better, more forward looking approach to your architecture might be to implement audio parsing (AP - or speech recognition SR?), natural language parsing (NLP) and cognitive processing (CP) or cognition as a coherent whole, not the other way around with separate and distinct audio parsing (AP), natural language parsing (NLP), and cognitive processing (CP) modules...as you suggest with your comments about an OO approach. In addition to the tremendous benefits of architecting something closer to real AGI, i.e. an obvious increase in the 'Goertzelian Real-AGI' level ;-), you would have the benefits of computational optimization, specifically, reduced # of ops to cognition, reduced object I/O, reduced latency, reduced processing redundancy, etc. assuming, of course, your implementation of the cognitive processing (CP) doesn't incur a tremendous overhead from the synthesis with the other two modules. > > I suppose I'm saying you can approach the mind (or any complex system that > has at least vaguely recognizable functional subsystems) in a manner > analogous to that of Object Oriented Programming Ibid.
