A data-driven methodology for the production of multilingual conversational systems
This paper describes a data-driven methodology for the design of multilingual conversational systems. The work presented here covers the various aspects of bootstrapping and deploying multilingual systems, such as phone set definition, acoustic modeling, language modeling, and language understanding. For the initial system domain, a Directory Assistance Service has been chosen. Whereas former a...
متن کاملMultilingual human-computer interactions: from information access to language learning
This paper describes our recent work in developing multilingual conversational systems that support human-computer interactions. Our approach is based on the premise that a common semantic representation can be extracted from the input for all languages, at least within the context of restricted domains. In our design of such systems, language dependent information is separated from the system ...
متن کاملHow to build a multilingual inheritance-based lexicon
This paper discusses a fairly new approach to multilingual lexical representation which abstracts away from the traditional MT architecture to multilingual lexicons. Rather than linking the monolingual lexicons at the level of semantics only, we aim to construct a multilingual lexicon in which information can be shared at all levels of linguistic description using an inheritance-based formalism...
متن کاملTowards multilingual interoperability in automatic speech recognition
In this communication, we address multilingual interoperability aspects in speech recognition. After giving a tentative definition of multilingual interoperability, we discuss speech recognition components and their language-specific aspects. We give a sample overview of past multilingual speech recognition research and development across different speaking styles (read, prepared and conversati...
متن کاملComparative analysis of design/build and design/bid/build project delivery systems in Lebanon
Design/bid/build and design/build are two principal project delivery systems used worldwide. The performance of each project may differ with the type of procurement system used. This study has two aims: firstly, to assess and compare the performance of design/bid/build and design/build projects in Lebanon; secondly, to compare the results with the performance of equivalent systems in the Far Ea...
