In goal oriented spoken language translation, an interlingua based approach has proven quite useful as it (1) reduces overall effort when multiple language pairs are required, (2) can provide a paraphrase of semantic equivalence in the input language, (3) abstracts away from the disfluencies of spoken language to express the speaker’s intention. On the other hand, interlingua based systems are ...

Charles Wayne presented overviews for both the Spoken Language and Written Language Programs. Under the Spoken Language Program, he emphasized the integration of speech and natural language technology into Spoken Language Systems. The need for common corpora and tasks, as well as systematic, objective performance evaluation, was stressed for both the Spoken and Written Language Programs. In the...

In this paper we describe an approach for spoken language analysis for helpdesk call routing using a combination of simple recurrent networks and support vector machines. In particular we examine this approach for its potential in a difficult spoken language classification task based on recorded operator assistance telephone utterances. We explore simple recurrent networks and support vector ma...

Chinese language is quite different from many western languages in various structural features. It is not alphabetic. Large number of Chinese characters are ideographic symbols. The monosyllabic structure, the open vocabulary nature, the flexible wording structure with tones, and the flexibilities in word ordering are good examples of the structural features of Chinese language. It is believed ...

Unrehearsed spoken language often contains disfluencies. In order to correctly interpret a spoken utterance, any such disfluencies must be identified and removed or otherwise dealt with. Operating on transcripts of speech which contain disfluencies, we study the effect of language model and loss function on the performance of a linear reranker that rescores the 25-best output of a noisychannel ...

In this paper we present a computer assisted language learning (CALL) system that is developed to practice grammar in spoken language. To enable this, the system uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to process the L2 learner’s responses. We investigate the possibility of providing corrective feedback (CF) on learner errors, and compare that with self-monitored language learning through outpu...

CONTEXT Cochlear implantation is a surgical alternative to traditional amplification (hearing aids) that can facilitate spoken language development in young children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess spoken language acquisition following cochlear implantation in young children. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective, longitud...
