Statistical Machine Translation
 Automatic Translators target to maximize:
 Faithfulness or fidelity
 How close is the meaning of the translation to the meaning of the
original
 Fluency or naturalness
 How natural the translation is, just considering its fluency in the
target language
 Developed by researchers from IBM

Speech to Speech Machine Translation
16
Speech to speech machine translation
 Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation (S2SMT) technologies
aim at enabling natural language communication between
people that do not share the same language
17
Speech to speech machine translation
 S2SMT can be seen as a cascade of three major components:
 Automatic Speech Recognition
 Machine Translation
 Text-to-Speech Synthesis

The PT-STAR project
 Team:
 L2F/INESC-ID
 LTI/CMU
 UBI
 FLUL
21
The PT-STAR project
 One of the main problems of S2SMT is the still weak
integration between the three components
 The main goal of PT-STAR (Speech Translation Advanced
Research to and from Portuguese) is to improve speech
translation systems for Portuguese by strengthening this
integration

Task 1: ASR/MT
TASK 1
23
Task 1: ASR/MT
 Challenge
 Improve full stops and commas insertions
 Segmentation is a hard problem in automatic translation
 Improve capitalization
 Important to disambiguate (Ex: Pedro Steps Rabbit)
 Detect interrogatives
 Important if you target synthesis
 Porte everything to English
 Try to make everything as much language independent as
possible

Translation
 [anchor 150] Good afternoon, the government believes that the austerity
measures approved and in force. Only for already suited to financial needs
of Portugal. The finance minister seems confident with the targets set out
in the stability and growth programme. Despite not close the door to the
possibility of additional measures of budgetery control in two thousand,
twelve. This is the way that Teixeira dos Santos responds the pressure of
the countries of the single currency, they want Spain and Portugal
progresses with more austerity measures, within a year and a half.
 [spk 2000] Still in month passed says that the government has decided to
tighten their belts the Portuguese and already Europe comes to ask for
more for after two thousand and eleven. The finance minister is not closes
the door, but defends each year, the his time.
 [spk 1000] I think that we are in conditions of food, say admits be trusted,
that the objective for two thousand, ten, will be achieved with the
additional measures that were in the meantime, has already decided.

28
Task 1: ASR/MT
 Challenge
 Take advantage of in-domain texts to build domain adapted
language models for ASR and MT
 Domain adaptation is one of the major problems in SMT (in a
word is not seen during training, the system will not be able to
translate it)
29
Task 1: ASR/MT
 Challenge
 Take advantage of imperfect transcriptions (in which annotations do
not include laughter, applause, filled pauses, repetitions, or other
disfluencies, and sometimes contain errors) to build acoustic models
for ASR
Example:
… In my opinion the many options to solve the...
… In my opinion ++BREATH++ the ++UH++ many options to solve the...
30
Task 2: MT/TTS
TASK 2
31
Task 2: MT/TTS
 Challenges
 Built Statistical Parametric Synthetic voices for Portuguese
 How do deal with translation errors when you target synthesis?
 Techniques for optimal synchronization using MT N-best list
 Grammar based phrasing strategies to improve synthesis of
disfluent MT output
 Voice Morphing
 Cross lingual voice morphing to match source speaker
32
Task 3: MT
TASK 3
33
Task 3: MT
 Challenges
 Alignments
 New algorithms to generate the well known lexicalized reordering
model using weighted alignment matrices
 Geppetto: a toolkit for word alignments and phrase extraction
 Users can improve the phrase extraction algorithm, due to the
fact that key control points can be manipulated
 Available at Google code
34
Task 3: MT
 Challenges
 Error analysis
 Taxonomy and detailed analysis of Moses vs. Google
 From BP to EP
 Built the BP2EP translator
 Corpora:
 TAP-UP corpus
 Flight magazine with parallel corpora PT/EN
 6000 questions translated into PT
 Original corpus in EN, from TREC
 Translation Model adapted with the questions’ corpus
 Important BLEU improvements (EN/PT 9, PT/EN 8)
35
Task 3: MT
 Challenges
 Participated in IWSLT 2010 (Evaluation Campaign)
 CN-EN, EN-CN
 FR-EN

  • 15. 15 Speech to Speech Machine Translation
  • 16. 16 Speech to speech machine translation  Speech-to-Speech Machine Translation (S2SMT) technologies aim at enabling natural language communication between people that do not share the same language
  • 17. 17 Speech to speech machine translation  S2SMT can be seen as a cascade of three major components:  Automatic Speech Recognition  Machine Translation  Text-to-Speech Synthesis
