2581	 A Locally-Organized Parser for Spoken Input	 This paper describes LPARS a locally-organized parsing system designed for use in a continuous speech recognizer. LPARS processes a string of phonemes which contains ambiguity and error. The system is locally-organized in the sense that it builds local parse structures from reliable word candidates recognized anywhere in an input utterance. These local structures are used as islands of reliability to guide the search for more highly garbled words which might complete the utterance. parsing speech recognition speech understanding augmented transition network local parsing
