A Retrospective Assessment of Fuzzy Logic Applications in Voice Communications and Speech Analytics
Keywords:
fuzzy logic, fuzzy system, speech, communication, VAD, speech segmen- tation, speech coding, speech analyticsAbstract
Voice and speech communication is a major topic covering simultaneously ’communication’, ’control’ (because it often involves control in the coding algorithms), and ’computing’ - from speech analysis and recognition, to speech analytics and to speech coding over communication channels. While fuzzy logic was specifically con- ceived to deal with language and reasoning, it has yet a limited use in the referred field. We discuss some of the main current applications from the perspective of half a century since fuzzy logic inception.References
