Analysis of Languages for Man-Machine Voice Communication
This 1976 report from Carnegie-Mellon University's computer science department, catalogued by the Defense Technical Information Center, analyses language models for voice communication between people and machines, written for researchers in speech recognition. Its pictures are plain diagrams: a branching state-transition graph of words such as GIVE, ME and THE with probabilities on the links, and a flowchart of a probability computation, showing how a designer might lay out connected nodes and decision branches.
