 LumenVox.com - Speech Recognition Solution White Paper
Disambiguation is the process by which the speech recognition application decodes an uncertain utterance by a caller into a meaning that best matches the caller's spoken intent.
If the caller just says a city, such as “Eureka,” we can use Semantic Interpretation (which is the process of converting the raw spoken text into a more clearly meaningful, or unambiguous form) to create a list of possible meanings.
As a developer, it is important to use, depending on the type of speech recognition application, the right mix of these techniques that will work to bring your speech solution to success.

 Redux - what's the matter with Kansas?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
I am not always sure Frank actually intended such quantifications, but otherwise there would be no claim to paraphrase, so I tried to derive a plausible one balancing what might be plausibly supportable against what would have significant consequences.
Of course, such a disambiguation can fail to paraphrase the original because the original is equivocal; that is, sometimes a writer will make an ambiguous statement that encourages (perhaps accidentally) an erroneous inference from the evidence for one interpretation to the consequences of a different interpretation.
Ambiguity of quantification is particularly susceptible to such equivocation, and so there may have been a number of statements that I should have ignored rather than paraphrased in the attempt to marshal a basis for argument from this book.
