| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | The performance of speech translation systems combining automatic speech recognition (ASR) and machine translation (MT) systems is degraded by redundant and irrelevant information caused by speaker’s disfluency and recognition errors. This paper proposes a new approach to translate speech recognition results through speech consolidation which extracts meaningful phrases and remove errors and disfluencies. The speech translation results via consolidation cannot be directly compared with gold standards in which all words in speech are translated because consolidation-based translations are partial translations. We would like to propose a new evaluation framework for partial translation by comparing with the most similar set of words extracted from a word network created by merging gradual summarizations of the gold standard translation. Chinese broadcast news (BN) speech in RT04 were recognized, consolidated and then translated. The performance of MT results was evaluated using BLEU. We also propose Information Preservation Accuracy (IPAccy) and Meaning Preservation Accuracy (MPAccy) to evaluate consolidation and consolidation-based MT. | |
