Abstract

In this paper we report on our efforts to combine speech and language processing toward multi-lingual spontaneous speech translation. The ongoing work extends our JANUS system e ort toward handling spontaneous spoken discourse and multiple languages. A major objective of this project is to maximize the number of modules, methods and data structures that are language-independent and extensible to other domains. After an overview of the task, databases and the system architecture we will focus on how speech decoding and natural language processing modules will be integrated in a large-scale multi-lingual speech-to-speech translation system for spontaneous spoken discourse.
