Automatic Czech - Sign Speech Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is devoted to the problem of automatic translation between Czech and SC in both directions. We introduced our simple monotone phrase-based decoder SiMPaD suitable for fast translation and compared its results with the results of the state-of-the-art phrasebased decoder MOSES. We compare the translation accuracy of handcrafted and automatically derived phrases and introduce a ”class-based” language model and post-processing step in order to increase the translation accuracy according to several criteria. Finally, we use the described methods and decoding techniques in the task of SC to Czech automatic translation and report the first results for this direction.

Czech-Sign Speech Corpus for Semantic Based Machine Translation
This paper describes progress in a development of the human-human dialogue corpus for machine translation of spoken language. We have chosen a semantically annotated corpus of phone calls to a train timetable information center. The phone calls consist of inquiries regarding their train traveler plans. Corpus dialogue act tags incorporate abstract semantic meaning. We have enriched a part of th...
متن کاملCzech Text-to-Sign Speech Synthesizer
Recent research progress in developing the Czech – Sign Speech synthesizer is presented. The current goal is to improve the system for automatic synthesis to produce accurate synthesis of the Sign Speech. The synthesis system converts written text to an animation of an artificial human model. This includes translation of text to sign phrases and its conversion to the animation of an avatar. The...
متن کاملEnglish-Czech Machine Translation Using TectoMT
English to Czech machine translation as it is implemented in the TectoMT system consists of three phases: analysis, transfer and synthesis. The system uses tectogrammatical (deep-syntactic dependency) trees as the transfer medium. Each phase is divided into so-called blocks, which are processing units that solve linguistically interpretable tasks (e.g., statistical part-of-speech tagging or rul...
متن کاملHand in Hand: Automatic Sign Language to English Translation
In this paper, we describe the first data-driven automatic sign-languageto-speech translation system. While both sign language (SL) recognition and translation techniques exist, both use an intermediate notation system not directly intelligible for untrained users. We combine a SL recognizing framework with a state-of-the-art phrase-based machine translation (MT) system, using corpora of both A...
متن کاملAutomatic Fingersign to Speech Translator
The aim of this project is to help the communication of two people, one hearing impaired and one visually impaired by converting speech to fingerspelling and fingerspelling to speech. Fingerspelling is a subset of sign language, and uses finger signs to spell letters of the spoken or written language. We aim to convert finger spelled words to speech and vice versa. Different spoken languages an...
