Open Domain Speech Recognition & Translation: Lectures and Speeches
نویسندگان
چکیده
For years speech translation has focused on the recognition and translation of discourses in limited domains, such as hotel reservations or scheduling tasks. Only recently research projects have been started to tackle the problem of open domain speech recognition and translation of complex tasks such as lectures and speeches. In this paper we present the on-going work at our laboratory in open domain speech translation of lectures and parliamentary speeches. Starting from a translation system for European parliamentary plenary sessions and a lecture speech recognition system we show how both components perform in unison on speech translation of lectures.

متن کاملJoint ASR and MT Features for Quality Estimation in Spoken Language Translation
This paper aims to unravel the automatic quality assessment for spoken language translation (SLT). More precisely, we propose several effective estimators based on our estimation of transcription (ASR) quality, translation (MT) quality, or both (combined and joint features using ASR and MT information). Our experiments provide an important opportunity to advance the understanding of the predict...
