Abstract

We report on techniques for using discourse context to reduce ambiguity and improve translation accuracy in a multi-lingual (Spanish, German, and English) spoken language translation system. The techniques involve statistical models as well as knowledge-based models including discourse plan inference. This work is carried out in the context of the Janus project at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Karlsruhe.
