چکیده
This paper describes the latest version of speech-to-speech translation systems developed by the team of NICT-ATR for over twenty years. The system is now ready to be deployed for the travel domain. A new noise-suppression technique notably improves speech recognition performance. Corpus-based approaches of recognition, translation, and synthesis enable coverage of a wide variety of topics and portability to other languages.

متن کاملThe NICT/ATR speech translation system for IWSLT 2007
This paper describes the NiCT-ATR statistical machine translation (SMT) system used for the IWSLT 2007 evaluation campaign. We participated in three of the four language pair translation tasks (CE, JE, and IE). We used a phrase-based SMT system using log-linear feature models for all tracks. This year we decoded from the ASR n-best lists in the JE track and found a gain in performance. We also ...

متن کاملConstruction of Chinese Segmented and POS-tagged Conversational Corpora and Their Evaluations on Spontaneous Speech Recognitions
The performance of a corpus-based language and speech processing system depends heavily on the quantity and quality of the training corpora. Although several famous Chinese corpora have been developed, most of them are mainly written text. Even for some existing corpora that contain spoken data, the quantity is insufficient and the domain is limited. In this paper, we describe the development o...
