    摘要： The present invention disclose modular speech-to-speech translation systems and methods that provide adaptable platforms to enable verbal communication between speakers of different languages within the context of specific domains. The components of the preferred embodiments of the present invention includes: (1) speech recognition; (2) machine translation; (3) N-best merging module; (4) verification; and (5) text-to-speech. Characteristics of the speech recognition module here are that the modules are structured to provide N-best selections and multi-stream processing, where multiple speech recognition engines may be active at any one time. The N-best lists from the one or more speech recognition engines may be handled either separately or collectively to improve both recognition and translation results. A merge module is responsible for integrating the N-best outputs of the translation engines along with confidence/translation scores to create a ranked list or recognition-translation pairs.

    摘要： The performance of traditional speech recognition systems (as applied to information extraction or translation) decreases significantly with, larger domain size, scarce training data as well as under noisy environmental conditions. This invention mitigates these problems through the introduction of a novel predictive feature extraction method which combines linguistic and statistical information for representation of information embedded in a noisy source language. The predictive features are combined with text classifiers to map the noisy text to one of the semantically or functionally similar groups. The features used by the classifier can be syntactic, semantic, and statistical.

    摘要： Interpretation from a first language to a second language via one or more communication devices is performed through a communication network (e.g. phone network or the internet) using a server for performing recognition and interpretation tasks, comprising the steps of: receiving an input speech utterance in a first language on a first mobile communication device; conditioning said input speech utterance; first transmitting said conditioned input speech utterance to a server; recognizing said first transmitted speech utterance to generate one or more recognition results; interpreting said recognition results to generate one or more interpretation results in an interlingua; mapping the interlingua to a second language in a first selected format; second transmitting said interpretation results in the first selected format to a second mobile communication device; and presenting said interpretation results in a second selected format on said second communication device.

    摘要： The present invention discloses a speech-to-speech translation device which allows one or more users to input a spoken utterance in one language, translates the utterance into one or more second languages, and outputs the translation in speech form. Additionally, the device allows for translation both directions, recognizing inputs in the one or more second languages and translating them back into the first language. The device recognizes and translates utterances in a limited domain as in a phrase book translation system, so the translation accuracy is essentially 100%. By limiting the domain the system increases the accuracy of the speech recognition component and thus the accuracy of the overall system. However unlike other phrase book systems, the device also allows wide variations and paraphrasing in the input, so that the user is much more likely to find the desired phrase from the stored list of phrases. The device paraphrases the input to a basic canonical form and performs the translation on that canonical form, ignoring the non-essential variations in the surface form of the input. The device can provide visual and/or auditory feedback to confirm the recognized input and makes the system usable for non-bilingual users with absolute confidence.

    摘要翻译： 本发明公开了一种语音到语音翻译装置，其允许一个或多个用户以一种语言输入口语话语，将话语转换为一种或多种第二语言，并以语音形式输出翻译。 此外，该设备允许翻译两个方向，识别一个或多个第二语言中的输入并将其翻译成第一语言。 该设备在短语书籍翻译系统中识别和翻译有限域中的话语，因此翻译准确性基本上为100％。 通过限制域，系统提高了语音识别组件的准确性，从而提高了整个系统的准确性。 然而，与其他短语书系统不同，该设备还允许输入中的宽泛的变化和释义，使得用户更可能从存储的短语列表中找到所需的短语。 该设备将输入释义为基本规范形式，并以该规范形式执行翻译，忽略了输入表面形式中的非必要变体。 该设备可以提供视觉和/或听觉反馈，以确认已识别的输入，并使系统可以绝对自信地用于非双语用户。

    摘要： The present invention adopts the fundamental architecture of a statistical machine translation system which utilizes statistical models learned from the training data and does not require expert knowledge for rule-based machine translation systems. Out of the training parallel data, a certain amount of sentence pairs are selected for manual alignment. These sentences are aligned at the phrase level instead of at the word level. Depending on the size of the training data, the optimal amount for manual alignment may vary. The alignment is done using an alignment tool with a graphical user interface which is convenient and intuitive to the users. Manually aligned data are then utilized to improve the automatic word alignment component. Model combination methods are also introduced to improve the accuracy and the coverage of statistical models for the task of statistical machine translation.
