Abstract:
1. A method for generating markup-language-based expressions from an input into an unimodal or a multimodal device, comprising: receiving at least one data input in at least one input mode of a recognition device; generating at least one input lattice representing the at least one data input; using at least one finite-state device to perform a function using the at least one generated input lattice, the finite-state device having symbols based on markup-language semantics, wherein performing the function comprises mapping a first markup-language expression to a second markup-language expression using a transducer relating the first-markup-language expression to the second-markup-language expression; generating a result finite-state device representing a result of the performed function, the result finite-state device relating at least one set of input symbols to at least one set of output symbols; concatenating output symbols in the at least one set of output symbols of the result finite-state device to generate at least one markup-language expression; generating the at least one markup-language expression; and outputting the at least one generated markup-language expression to a processor.
