摘要： A speech translating apparatus includes a input unit, a speech recognizing unit, a translating unit, a first dividing unit, a second dividing unit, an associating unit, and an outputting unit. The input unit inputs a speech in a first language. The speech recognizing unit generates a first text from the speech. The translating unit translates the first text into a second language and generates a second text. The first dividing unit divides the first text and generates first phrases. The second dividing unit divides the second text and generates second phrases. The associating unit associates semantically equivalent phrases within each group of phrases. The outputting unit sequentially outputs the associated phrases in a phrase order within the second text.

摘要： A concept obtaining unit obtains, for each example set stored in an example storage unit, a first concept of a phrase included in an example in the first language and a second concept of a phrase included in an example in the second language from a concept storage unit. A determining unit determines that an example set including an unmatched concept between first concepts and second concepts is not applicable. An example set searching unit searches for an example set that includes an example in the first language that is analogous to or matches an input sentence. An output controlling unit outputs an example in the second language of the example sets from which the example set that is determined as inapplicable is deleted, as a translation result.

摘要： A first recognizing unit recognizes a first-language speech as a first-language character string, and outputs a first recognition result. A second recognizing unit recognizes the first-language speech as a most probable first-language example from among first-language examples stored in an example storing unit, and outputs a second recognition result. A retrieving unit retrieves, when a similarity between the first recognition result and the second recognition result exceeds a predetermined threshold, a second-language example corresponding to the second recognition result from the example storing unit.

摘要： A dialogue-sound processing appratus of the present invention generates discourse structure representing the flow of dialogue from fragmentary spoken utterances. In the dialogue-sound processing apparatus, the speech fragments of the dialogue-sound is inputted through a sound input section. A clue extraction section extracts clue which is a word or prosodic feature representing flow of dialogue from the speech fragments. An utterance function rule memory section memorizes utterance function rule which is correspondence relation between the clue and the utterance function representing pragmatic effect for the flow of dialogue. An utterance function extraction section assigns the utterance function to the clue in accordance with the utterance function rule. A discourse structure generation section generates discourse structure representing the flow of dialogue from fragmentary spoken utterances in accordance with the utterance function corresponding to the clue assigned by the utterance function extraction section.
