TC-STAR OpenLab on Speech Translation
Trento, Italy 30th March - 1st April 2006
http://tc-star.itc.it/openlab2006
Call for Participation
OpenLab 2006 is a training initiative of the European Integrated
Project TC-STAR, Technologies and Corpora for Speech-to-speech
Translation Research.
OpenLab 2006 aims to expand the TC-STAR research community in the
areas of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Spoken Language
Translation (SLT).
Students and young researchers in these areas are invited to
contribute on shared TC-STAR project tasks.
The translation of European Parliament speeches from Spanish to
English is the application domain of interest. Contributions on the
following and other closely related topics will be welcome:
- Integration of ASR and SLT
- Statistical Models for SLT
- System combination in ASR and SLT
- Morphology and Syntax in SLT
- Error analysis in SLT
Several months before the meeting in Trento, language resources and
tools will be made available to interested participants. Word graphs
and n-best lists generated by different ASR and SLT systems will be
provided, as well as training and testing collections to develop and
evaluate a SLT system.
Participants will present and discuss their results in Trento, and
will have the opportunity to attend tutorial speeches held by experts.
Participation in OpenLab 2006 is free. In addition, for a limited
number of applications, lodging expenses will be covered by the
organization.

Marcello Federico, ITC-irst, Trento
