AcListant - Active Listening Assistant

1. April 2015

For human beings it is taken for granted, for a technical system not implemented so far: the possibility to listen to the conversation of other people and derive activities from the understood contents. The project AcListant (Active Listening Assistant, 2013–2015) implemented a prototype for understanding the controller-pilot-communication.

ATC-Anno: Semantic Annotation for Air Traffic Control with Assistive Auto-Annotation

Diese Publikation ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar. Zusammenfassung In air traffic control, assistant systems support air traffic controllers in their work. To improve the reactivity and accuracy of the assistant, automatic speech recognition can monitor the commands uttered by the controller.

Real-Time Integration of Dynamic Context Information for Improving Automatic Speech Recognition

Diese Publikation ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar. Zusammenfassung The use of prior situational/contextual knowledge about a given task can significantly improve Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) performance. This is typically done through adaptation of acoustic or language models if data is available, or using knowledge-based rescoring.

Air Traffic Controller Support by Speech Recognition

Diese Publikation ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar. Zusammenfassung Air traffic controllers (ATCO) are a core element of the flight guidance process. Decision support systems with accurate output data could increase the controllers’ performance or reduce their workload.
