Abstract This paper describes a large-scale bilingual corpus of spoken monologues and their simultaneous interpretation, which has been constructed at CIAIR. The corpus has the following characteristics: (1) English and Japanese speeches are recorded in parallel, (2) the data contains monologue speeches such as lecture and self-introduction, and (3) the exact beginning and ending times are prov...

Human speech understanding works incrementally. We begin to process acoustic input before the speaker's utterance has ended. A system capable of performing sophisticated communication in a natural dialogue or simultaneous interpreting, has to work incrementally, too. The architecture of such a system should be modular, uniform and integrated. We present an architectural framework that suits the...

With the increase of China’s international status and influence, subjects in exchanges no longer remain at macro level, while shifting towards a more professional concrete dimension.

We have been attempting to realize simultaneous machine interpretation. However, determining the interpreting utterance timing is as difficult as determining translation units. This remains a major concern for the development of such a speech translation system. It is also crucial for the system’s users that the speech generated by the system is clear and easy to listen to. In this paper, we fo...
