| '''[[Speech Recognition]]''' is one of the main elements of [[natural language]] processing, or [[computer]] speech technology. Speech is derived from sounds created by the [[human]] [[articulatory phonetics|articulatory]] organs, such as the [[vocal cords]] and the [[tongue]]. Through variable exposure to speech during infancy, a child is able to understand similar-sounding utterances from different people, perhaps due to the phonetic regularities in the [[syllable]]s they hear. The mental capabilities of the [[brain]] helps humans achieve this remarkable capability. So far, we have only been able to reproduce this in computers on a limited basis.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Challenge of Speech Recognition: [[Writing system]]s are ancient, going back as far as the [[Sumerians]] of 6,000 years ago. The [[phonograph]], which allowed the analog recording and playback of speech, dates to 1877. Speech recognition had to await the development of computer, however, due to multifarious problems with the recognition of speech.

| '''[[Dien Bien Phu]]''' is a valley and small town in North Vietnam, 260 miles northwest of [[Hanoi]] and the place of the decisive 1954 battle that soon forced [[France]] to relinquish control of colonial Indochina. In military shorthand, Dien Bien Phu has also become a synonym for an extremely unwise decision: the attempt to hold a seemingly strong defensive position, against which the enemy, cooperating with the defender's plans, will then destroy himself against the impregnable fortifications.<font size=1>[[Dien Bien Phu|['''more...''']]]</font> | | {|cellspacing=0 style="width:100%; padding:0; margin:0; background:transparent;" |
