Multi-Lingual Interoperability in Speech Technology (l'Interoperabilite multilinguistique dans la technologie de la parole)
Abstract
Communications, command and control, intelligence, and training systems are more and more making use of speech technology components: i.e. speech coders, voice controlled C2 systems, speaker and language recognition, and automated training suites. Interoperability of these systems is not a simple standardization problem as the speech of each individual user is an uncontrolled variable such as non-native speakers using, additional to their own language, an official NATO language. For international operations, this may cause a reduced performance or even cause malfunction of an action. In order to address these topics a two-day workshop was organized focused on the following subjects: Non-native speech and regional accents Cross language speech processing Identification of language and speaker Human Perception and Assessment. This document presents the proceedings of the workshop and consists of twenty papers, four discussion reports and a final overview. the Information Systems Technology Panel (1ST) Tutorial and Workshop held in Leusden, The Netherlands, 13-14 September 1999.
