ABSTRACT
This demonstration involves two-way automatic speech-to-speech translation on a consumer off-the-shelf PDA. This work was done as part of the DARPA-funded Babylon project, investigating better speech-to-speech translation systems for communication in the field. The development of the Speechalator software-based translation system required addressing a number of hard issues, including a new language for the team (Egyptian Arabic), close integration on a small device, computational efficiency on a limited platform, and scalable coverage for the domain.

LLLR parsing
SAC '13: Proceedings of the 28th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied ComputingThe idea of an LLLR parsing is presented. An LLLR(k) parser can be constructed for any LR(k) grammar but it produces the left parse of the input string in linear time (in respect to the length of the derivation) without backtracking. If used as a basis ...
Tree insertion grammar: a cubic-time, parsable formalism that lexicalizes context-free grammar without changing the trees produced
Tree insertion grammar (TIG) is a tree-based formalism that makes use of tree substitution and tree adjunction. TIG is related to tree adjoining grammar. However, the adjunction permitted in TIG is sufficiently restricted that TIGs only derive context-...
