The statement above by Pope Benedict XVI, at the beginning of his visit to Africa in March 2009, provoked a strong media reaction. It shall be at the centre of our project to apply a technical method for the analysis of dialogue semantics of spoken utterances, already proven in electronic speech signal processing, to communication between the pope and the press. In doing so, the meaning of an utterance beyond the utterance itself is to be found and affixed to subjective relations to reality, which we call "semantic anchors". The application of such a method stands to reason in the case of cognitive machines whose 'subjective' realities are fully represented in memory contents; an application to the communication between pope and media appears at first glance less obvious, because it is initially not clear to what extent the media can at all be regarded as a "person" with independent cognitive structures. However, we will show in the following that formal methods can be used successfully even in this context, once the appropriate semantic anchors have been established. In doing so, we can also show that the subjective meanings of the pope's statement cited above are, due to the pope's and press's completely different discursive realities and the worlds of thought underlying the utterances, incompatible and thus cannot be squared with each other.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BeimGrabenHuberRoemeretal., author = {Beim Graben, Peter and Huber, Markus and R{\"o}mer, Ronald and Schmitt, Ingo and Wolff, Matthias}, title = {Der Fockraum als Labyrinth: Wissensrepr{\"a}sentation und Probleml{\"o}sungen am Beispiel des Mouse-Maze-Problems}, series = {Elektronische Sprachsignalverarbeitung, Tagungsband der 29.

First, we present an empirical study of image schemas as basic building blocks of human knowledge. Image schemas have been studied extensively in cognitive linguistics, but insufficiently in the context of human-computer-interaction (HCI). Some image schemas are developed early at pre-verbal stages (e.g., up-down) and may, thus, exert greater influence on human knowledge than later developed image schemas (e.g., centre-periphery). To investigate this for HCI contexts, we applied a speech interaction task using a Wizard of Oz paradigm. Our results show that users apply early image schemas more frequently than late image schemas. They should, therefore, be given preference in interface designs. In the second part of this contribution we therefore focus on the appropriate representation and processing of semantics. We introduce novel theoretical work including feature-values-relations and Petri net transducers, and discuss their impact on behaviour control of cognitive systems.

In order to increase the degree of autonomy, advanced cognitive architectures also contain higher-level psychological modules with which needs and motives of the agent are also taken into account and with which the behavior of the agent can be controlled. Regardless of the level of autonomy, successful behavior is based on interacting with the environment and being able to communicate with other agents or users. The agent can use these skills to learn a truthful knowledge model of the environment and thus predict the consequences of its own actions. For this purpose, the symbolic information received during the interaction and communication must be converted into representational data structures so that they can be stored in the knowledge model, processed logically and retrieved from there. Here, we firstly outline a grammar-based transformation mechanism that unifies the description of physical interaction and linguistic communication and on which the language acquisition is based.

Increasing the degree of autonomy and improving cognitive performance, which can be assessed using cognitive and behavioral tests, are two important research trends. The degree of autonomy can be increased using higher-level psychological modules with which needs and motives are taken into account. In our approach we integrate these modules in architecture for an embodied, enactive multi-agent system, such that distributed problem solutions can be achieved. Furthermore, after uncovering some weaknesses in the cognitive performance of traditionally designed agents, we focus on two major aspects. On the one hand, the knowledge processing of cognitive agents is based on logical formalisms, which have deficiencies in the representation and processing of incomplete or uncertain knowledge. On the other hand, in order to fully understand the performance of cognitive agents, explanations at the symbolic and subsymbolic levels are required. Both aspects can be addressed by quantum-inspired cognitive agents. To investigate this approach, we consider two tasks in the sphere of Shannon's famous mouse-maze problem: namely classifying target objects and ontology inference. First, the classification of an unknown target object in the mouse-maze, such as cheese, water, and bacon, is based on sensory data that measure characteristics such as odor, color, shape, or nature. For an intelligent agent, we need a classifier with good prediction accuracy and explanatory power on a symbolic level. Boolean logic classifiers do work on a symbolic level but are not adequate for dealing with continuous data. Therefore, we demonstrate and evaluate a quantum-logic-inspired classifier in comparison to Boolean-logic-based classifiers. Second, ontology inference is iteratively achieved by a quantum-inspired agent through maze exploration. This requires the agent to be able to manipulate its own state by performing actions and by collecting sensory data during perception. We suggest an algebraic approach where both kinds of behaviors are uniquely described by quantum operators. The agent's state space is then iteratively constructed by carrying out unitary action operators, while Hermitian perception operators act as observables on quantum eigenstates. As a result, an ontology emerges as the simultaneous solution of the respective eigenvalue equations.

In order to present the instructions as an algorithm, we use a variant of context free grammars (CFG) as an input format. We can exclude overgeneration, if the CFG has no recursion, i.e. no non-terminal can (indirectly) derive to a right-hand side containing itself. The constructed MGs utilize licensors/-ees as a special way of exception handling. A CFG format for a derivation A_eats_B↦∗peter_eats_apples, where A and B generate noun phrases, normally leads to overgeneration, e.\,g., i_eats_apples. In order to avoid overgeneration, a CFG would need many non-terminal symbols and rules, that mainly produce the same word, just to handle exceptions.

The difficulty with this technique is that in most generations the majority of licensees/-ors is not needed, but still has to be triggered somehow.

We provide an overview of the Sorbian languages, the available speech and language resources, and the development of an STT system based on a traditional approach, which includes acoustic, pronunciation, and language modeling. Due to the scarcity of resources for Sorbian languages, our approach leverages sub-word and word-class modeling techniques. The word-class modeling is based on Finite-State Transducer definitions, which are applicable to both offline text parsing and integration into the decoding graph of the STT system. Word-class parsing is performed on the speech corpus and utilized for language modeling with complete words, sub-word units, or both. Additionally, the same definitions can be applied to Named Entity Recognition during the post-processing of recognized transcriptions. This approach significantly reduces out-of-vocabulary words and enables greater customization of the recognizer for domain-specific applications. The system was implemented for the real-time transcription of church sermon broadcasts in Upper Sorbian.

Aber welchen Stellenwert hat sie momentan auf dem Gebiet der zerst{\"o}rungsfreien Pr{\"u}fung? Was kann KI leisten? Welche Herausforderungen m{\"u}ssen erfolgreich bew{\"a}ltigt werden? Gibt es das eine KI-Verfahren, welches prinzipiell f{\"u}r ZfP geeignet ist? Bei der Bauteil- und Materialpr{\"u}fung w{\"a}hrend und unmittelbar nach der Herstellung, der {\"U}berwachung von Verschleißteilen in Maschinen und Anlagen oder der Schadensdetektion an Bauteilen und Komponenten liefern ZfP-Verfahren Daten, die bewertet werden m{\"u}ssen. Obwohl inzwischen sehr leistungsf{\"a}hige Toolkits verf{\"u}gbar sind, erfordert der optimale Einsatz der KI f{\"u}r ein ZfP-Verfahren oftmals mehr. Die meisten Kunden m{\"o}chten nicht nur eine L{\"o}sung ihres Problems; sie wollen verstehen, warum die KI so und nicht anders entschieden hat, warum der Klassifikator das Bauteil einer bestimmten Klasse (z. B. gut/schlecht oder neuwertig/verschlissen/defekt) zugewiesen hat. Abh{\"a}ngig von der Klassifikationsaufgabe sowie der Art und der Anzahl der vorliegenden Daten kann ein geeignetes Verfahren bestimmt werden. Mit Methoden des maschinellen Lernens werden Modelle gebildet, welche die Basis f{\"u}r die KI-Verfahren zur Klassifikation bilden. Der Beitrag liefert einen {\"U}berblick {\"u}ber KI-Verfahren und deren Anwendungen in der zerst{\"o}rungsfreien Pr{\"u}fung. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Ergebnisse werden vorgestellt, um die Mannigfaltigkeit des Einsatzes in der ZfP und der bestehenden M{\"o}glichkeiten zu demonstrieren.}, language = {de} } @misc{KraljevskiRjelkaDuckhornetal., author = {Kraljevski, Ivan and Rjelka, Marek and Duckhorn, Frank and Tsch{\"o}pe, Constanze and Wolff, Matthias}, title = {Cross-Lingual Acoustic Modeling in Upper Sorbian - Preliminary Study}, series = {Elektronische Sprachsignalverarbeitung 2021 : Tagungsband der 32.

At first, we define the grapheme and phoneme inventories and map the target phonemes from the most similar German source equivalents. Phonetically balanced sentences for the recording prompts were selected from a combination of general and domain-specific textual data. The speech corpora with a total duration of around 11 hours was collected in controlled recording sessions involving an equal number of females, males, and children. The baseline acoustic model was employed to force-align the speech corpora given the knowledge-based phoneme mappings. How well the mappings were, was evaluated by the phoneme confusions in free-phoneme recognition. The new derived data-driven model with a reduced phoneme set was included in the adaptation and evaluation along with the baseline acoustic model. The model adaptation performance was cross-validated with the "Leave One Group Out" strategy. We observed major improvements in phoneme error rates after adaptation for the knowledge-based and data-driven phoneme mappings. The study confirmed the feasibility of transfer learning for acoustic model adaptation in the case of Upper Sorbian, at the same time demonstrating practical usability with a small vocabulary speech recognition application (Smart Lamp).}, language = {de} }
