Abstract
It has been relatively difficult to develop natural language parsers for spoken dialog systems, not only because of the possible recognition errors, pauses, hesitations, out-of-vocabulary words, and the grammatically incorrect sentence structures, but because of the great efforts required to develop a general enough grammar with satisfactory coverage and flexibility to handle different applications. In this paper, a new hierarchical graph-based search scheme with layered structure is presented, which is shown to provide more robust and flexible spontaneous speech understanding for spoken dialog systems.
