SRI International May 1, 2006

Abstract

Engineering automatic speech recognition (ASR) for speech to speech (S2S) translation systems, especially targeting languages and domains that do not have readily available spoken language resources, is immensely challenging due to a number of reasons. In addition to contending with the conventional data-hungry speech acoustic and language modeling needs, these designs have to accommodate varying requirements imposed by the domain needs and characteristics, target device and usage modality (such as phrase-based, or spontaneous free form interactions, with or without visual feedback) and huge spoken language variability arising due to socio-linguistic and cultural differences of the users. This paper, using case studies of creating speech translation systems between English and languages such as Pashto and Farsi, describes some of the practical issues and the solutions that were developed for multilingual ASR development.
