Berkeley Restaurant Project (BeRP)

• Description: BeRP is a test bed for a speech recognition system being developed by the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, CA. BeRP is a medium-vocabulary, speaker-independent spontaneous continuous speech understanding system. BeRP functions as a knowledge consultant whose domain is the restaurants in the city of Berkeley. The system serves as a testbed for several research projects, including robust feature extraction, connectionist phonetic likelihood estimation, automatic induction of multiple pronunciation lexicons, foreign accent detection and modeling, advanced language models, and lip-reading.
• Note: As far as I know the BeRP software is in-house software - that is, it is not made available for distribution.
