Using x-grams for speech-to-speech translation

Adrià de Gispert, José B. Mariño

In this paper, a statistical speech-to-speech translation system, developed at TALP during the last months, is presented. By adapting well-known speech recognition techniques to the specific translation setting, the system is able to integrate speech signal into a finite state transducer that translates statistically domain-constrained Spanish sentences into English ones.
