The VoiceTRAN Speech-to-Speech Communicator
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the design concept of the VoiceTRAN Communicator that integrates speech recognition, machine translation and text-to-speech synthesis using the DARPA Galaxy architecture. The aim of the project is to build a robust speech-to-speech translation communicator able to translate simple domain-specific sentences in the Slovenian-English language pair. The project represents a joint collaboration between several Slovenian research organizations that are active in human language technologies. We provide an overview of the task, describe the system architecture and individual servers. Further we describe the language resources that will be used and developed within the project. We conclude the paper with plans for evaluation of the VoiceTRAN Communicator.

متن کاملUnderstanding the abstract role of speech in communication at 12 months.
Adult humans recognize that even unfamiliar speech can communicate information between third parties, demonstrating an ability to separate communicative function from linguistic content. We examined whether 12-month-old infants understand that speech can communicate before they understand the meanings of specific words. Specifically, we test the understanding that speech permits the transfer of...
متن کاملEffects of Speech Recognition Accuracy on the Performance of DARPA Communicator Spoken Dialogue Systems
The DARPA Communicator program explored ways to construct better spoken-dialogue systems, with which users interact via speech alone to perform relatively complex tasks such as travel planning. During 2000 and 2001 two large data sets were collected from sessions in which paid users did travel planning using the Communicator systems that had been built by eight research groups. The research gro...
متن کاملDo 6-month-olds understand that speech can communicate?
Adults and 12-month-old infants recognize that even unfamiliar speech can communicate information between third parties, suggesting that they can separate the communicative function of speech from its lexical content. But do infants recognize that speech can communicate due to their experience understanding and producing language, or do they appreciate that speech is communicative earlier, with...
متن کاملTwelve-month-old infants recognize that speech can communicate unobservable intentions.
Much of our knowledge is acquired not from direct experience but through the speech of others. Speech allows rapid and efficient transfer of information that is otherwise not directly observable. Do infants recognize that speech, even if unfamiliar, can communicate about an important aspect of the world that cannot be directly observed: a person's intentions? Twelve-month-olds saw a person (the...
