The utterance units that serve as input to speech translation and/or spoken dialogue systems that handle spontaneous speech are not always sentences. However, the processing units of language translation are sentences. Since we do not have enough knowledge about the sentences of spoken languages, we use the term \language processing units" instead of \sentences." First, using conventionally int...

this research was conducted to examine whether there was a significant difference between the quality of translations produced by translation students who used bilingual (english to farsi) dictionaries with that of those using monolingual (english to english) dictionaries. to this end, 78 senior undergraduate students of english translation took part in a piloted english proficiency test, 60 of...

This paper describes the design and development of a trilingual spontaneous speech corpus for statistical speech-to-speech translation. The languages considered are Catalan, Spanish and US-English. This corpus has been built bearing in mind the strong need for multilingual collections of on-line data within the area of statistical translation, as well as the need for data that are parallel or a...

While small molecule inhibitors of the bacterial ribosome have been instrumental in understanding protein translation, no such probes exist to study ribosome biogenesis. We screened a diverse chemical collection that included previously approved drugs for compounds that induced cold sensitive growth inhibition in the model bacterium Escherichia coli. Among the most cold sensitive was lamotrigin...

Spontaneous speech adds a variety of phenomena to a speech recognition task: false starts, human and nonhuman noises, new words, and alternative pronunciations. All of these phenomena have to be tackled when adapting a speech recognition system for spontaneous speech. In this paper we will focus on how to automatically expand and adapt phonetic dictionaries for spontaneous speech recognition. E...

We consider a model in which positive and negative particles diffuse in an asymmetric, CP -invariant way on a ring. The positive particles hop clockwise, the negative counterclockwise and oppositely-charged adjacent particles may swap positions. Monte-Carlo simulations and analytic calculations suggest that the model has three phases; a “pure” phase in which one has three pinned blocks of only ...

In this paper we present the task oriented context representation and the dialogue man ager for the Verbmobil translation system We show how to utilize statistical methods shallow extraction and propositional repre sentation to provide translation relevant in formation and most of all to enable the sys tem to automatically create a dialogue script and result summary

conclusions most cases for pneumothorax were consisted of the patients with the primary spontaneous pneumothorax; the patients with recurrent pneumothorax were comprised of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax patients and those of majority secondary spontaneous pneumothorax patients were observed with bullous emphysema profile. by looking at the pertinent literature, there are publications showi...
