For example, David Cope uses a similar pattern matcher in his EMI program, only it works with musical pitches instead of letters. In his application, the parameters are self tuning: he feeds it music by a composer, and it automatically adjusts parameters of the pattern matcher until the music it regenerates matches the same statistics as the source material. Something else you might want to consider - I recall reading that pattern matching for speech recognition wasn't all that great, until someone decided to use Markov chains to 'guess' what the next word might be. The utterance would be first compared to that set, and if there were no good candidates, a brute force match would be done. Perhaps something similar might work with Tiggr? -- David Cuny
