A Word-Finding Algorithm with a Dynamic Lexical-Semantic Memory for Patients with Anomia Using a Speech Prosthesis
Abstract
Word-finding problems (anomia) are common in brain-damaged patients suffering from various types of aphasia. An algorithm is described which finds words for patients using a portable micro-processor-based speech prosthesis. The data-structures consist of a lexical-semantic memory which becomes reorganized over time depending on usage. The algorithm finds words based on partial information about them which is input by the user. I WORD RETRIEVAL PROBLEMS We are developing an "intelligent " speech prosthesis (ISP) for people with speech impairments Cll. An ISP consists of a small, portable computer programmed to serve a number of functions and
