| Abstract |
This paper describes a system for the semantic-based translation of spoken
or written limited-domain utterances. The semantic structure as output of a
semantic decoder serves as the interlingua-level. A word chain generator combined
with a linguistic post-processor produces the according word chain in the target
language. Both the semantic decoder and the word chain generator work with pure
stochastic and trainable knowledge bases. The grammatical features of certain
words can be easily extracted by the help of both the word chain and the semantic
structure.
Keywords: automatic speech translation, speech understanding, semantic
decoding, language production, semantic structure, semantic model, syntactic model,
