Speechlinks: Robust Cross-Lingual Tactical Communication Aids

Abstract

This project was directed toward developing a unique tactical language translator with context-aware, mixed-initiative capability for tactical missions. The specific goals were to: 1) enable robust mixed-initiative tactical communication targeting multiple languages, 2) develop algorithms and tools that enable rapid construction and deployment of systems for new missions and languages, and 3) develop and implement a holistic evaluation process for cross-lingual communication systems that unifies usability, task achievement and cost.
