The identification of speech act types and speech act content constitutes the basis for the construction and implementation of a flexible template-based, slot-filling framework for spoken technical texts in the domain of aircraft maintenance for its direct deployment or its subsequent integration in neural network approaches and/or as training data. Keywords extracted from the content of each spoken utterance (620 expressions, approximately 2800 spoken utterances) are integrated into the “generic-intent” slot of the template-based, slot-filling framework, which is, in turn, linked to the respective speech act. The mandatory recognition of two keywords in complementary relation (x,y) within the framework is observed to produce correct results for Greek spoken technical texts.
