Testing Generality in JANUS: A Multi-lingual Speech Tranlslation System
Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP '92), Vol. 1, pp. 209 - 212, March, 1992
Abstract
For speech translation to be practical and useful, speech translation systems should be portable to multiple languages without substantial modification. The authors present results of expanding the English-based JANUS speech translation system to translate from spoken German sentences to English and Japanese utterances. The authors also report the results of implementing part of the linked predictive neural network (LPNN) speech recognition module on a massively parallel machine. The JANUS approach generalizes well, with overall system performance of 97%. This surpasses English-based JANUS performance.
