A Bidirectional, Transfer-Driven Machine Translation System For Spoken Dialogues

This paper presents a brief overview of the bidirectional (Japanese and English) TransferDriven Machine Translation system, currently being developed at ATR. The aim of this development is to achieve bidirectional spoken dialogue translation using a new translation technique, TDMT, in which an example-based framework is fully utilized to translate the whole sentence. Although the translation coverage is presently restricted to conference registration, the system meets requirements for spoken dialogue translation, such as two-way translation, high speed, and high accuracy with robust processing.
