Dear List Seniors,
Does anyone remember the British "Speakeasy"
newsletter? It was a kind of pre-Internet Auditory List.
A friend had sent me copies of it from
England in the late 1980s. It often generated interesting discussions on
speech recognition. Recently, I ran across the April 1988 issue
which included a Forum essay by Alan Crowe. The essay begins with
remarks on J. R. Pierce's disruptive paper "Whither Speech Recognition." From
this Crowe makes an assessment of the state of the art as he saw
it at ICASSP 87. I think it is relevant today so
I'm attaching it here. Unfortunately, I have
lost the second page, but you can still get Alan's main idea.
Maybe, what we need even after 23 years
is his missing "fairly standard theory."
