ABSTRACT:
The goal of this project is to increase the communication rate of
physically disabled individuals via Natural Language Processing
techniques. We wish to take as input a compressed message (i.e.,
uninflected content words) from the disabled individual and yet pass a
syntactically and semantically well-formed utterance to a speech
synthesizer or text preparation system. At the same time, we wish to
do this by placing as little a burden on the user as possible. Thus,
we are not interested in a simple coding system where sentences have
been stored and are simply indexed by their content words.
