Multi-lingual and Multi-modal Speech Processing and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last decade voice technologies for telephony and embedded solutions became much more mature, resulting in applications providing mobile access to digital information from anywhere. Both a growing demand for voice driven applications in many languages and the need for improved usability and user experience now drives the exploration of multi-lingual speech processing techniques for recognition, synthesis and conversational dialog management. In this overview article we discuss our recent activities on multi-lingual voice technologies and describe the benefits of multi-lingual modeling for the creation of multimodal mobile and telephony applications.

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
متن کاملThe "FAME" Interactive Space
This paper describes the “FAME” multi-modal demonstrator, which integrates multiple communication modes – vision, speech and object manipulation – by combining the physical and virtual worlds to provide support for multi-cultural or multi-lingual communication and problem solving. The major challenges are automatic perception of human actions and understanding of dialogs between people from dif...
