DARPA Speech Understanding Research

Introduction

DARPA stands for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a research agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. In 1970, among such technologies was speech recognition.

Historical Context

There had been partially successful attempts to understand discrete speech (see, for example, Bell's Audrey) but no system to understand speech that is continious existed at the time^[1]. Moreover, previous methods dealt with vocabularies no larger than 200 words (e.g., IBM's 16-word "Shoebox"), while DARPA's SUR aimed at a vocabulary with at least one thousand words.
