Title: Conversational Speech and Language Technologies 
              for Structured Document Generation
Speaker:  Juergen Fritsch

Abstract:

I will present Multimodal Technologies' AnyModal CDS, a clinical
documentation system for generating structured and encoded medical
reports from speech. Set up as a back-end service, the system is
completely transparent to dictating physicians and does not require
active enrollment or changes in dictation behavior, while producing
complete and accurate documents.

Instead of producing flat literal transcripts, AnyModal CDS recognizes
and interprets the meaning and intent behind dictated speech,
producing rich structured documents with semantically annotated
content.  In the talk, I will discuss some of the enabling speech and
language technologies, focusing on (1) continuous, semi-supervised
adaptation of speech recognition models based on non-literal
transcripts, and (2) modeling and identification of structure and
relevant concepts in spoken documents based on combinations of
statistical and finite state grammars with semantic annotations.
