Interactive-predictive speech-enabled computer-assisted translation

چکیده
In this paper, we study the incorporation of statistical machine translation models to automatic speech recognition models in the framework of computer-assisted translation. The system is given a source language text to be translated and it shows the source text to the human translator to translate it orally. The system captures the user speech which is the dictation of the target language sentence. Then, the human translator uses an interactive-predictive process to correct the system generated errors. We show the efficiency of this method by higher human productivity gain compared to the baseline systems: pure ASR system and integrated ASR and MT systems.

Cost-sensitive active learning for computer-assisted translation
Machine translation technology is not perfect. To be successfully embedded in real-world applications, it must compensate for its imperfections by interacting intelligently with the user within a computer-assisted translation framework. The interactive-predictive paradigm, where both a statistical translation model and a human expert collaborate to generate the translation, has been shown to be...
متن کاملA New Search Approach for Interactive-Predictive Computer-Assisted Translation
Although significant improvements have been achieved in statistical machine translation (SMT), even the best machine translation technology is far from competing with human translators. An alternative approach to obtain high quality translation is to use a human translator who is assisted by an SMT. In interactive-predictive computer-assisted translation (IPCAT) paradigm, the human translator b...
متن کاملJoint ASR and MT Features for Quality Estimation in Spoken Language Translation
This paper aims to unravel the automatic quality assessment for spoken language translation (SLT). More precisely, we propose several effective estimators based on our estimation of transcription (ASR) quality, translation (MT) quality, or both (combined and joint features using ASR and MT information). Our experiments provide an important opportunity to advance the understanding of the predict...

Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case,...
