Embodiment Construction

[0024] Figure 1 illustrates a computer-implemented dialog continuous language processing system for allowing two people speaking different languages ​​to have an effective conversation. In the non-limiting example of FIG. 1, a buyer 20 wishes to chat with a seller 22 in order to purchase an item of merchandise. The difficulty is that the buyer 20 can only speak English and the seller 22 can only speak Japanese.

[0025] The dialog language processing system 24 of the present invention uses a speech recognizer 26 to translate the buyer 20's English into a string of words. The speech understanding module 28 reads the string of words as text and extracts the semantic part of the string of words.

[0026] A dialogue manager 30 determines whether the buyer has provided a sufficient amount of information based on the semantic portion determined by the speech understanding module 28 . If sufficient information has been provided, dialog manager 30 allows translation module 32 to tra...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an apparatus for performing language translation between speakers of different languages, comprising a speech recognizer for receiving a spoken utterance in a first language from a first speaker and operable to convert the spoken utterance in digital format; a speech understanding module connected to a speech recognizer for determining the semantic part of a spoken utterance; a dialog manager connected to the speech understanding module for determining the semantic information present in a spoken utterance based on the determined semantic part Insufficient conditions; connected to a computer response module of the dialogue manager, when there is a condition of insufficient semantic information in the oral speech, the computer response module is operable to provide a response to the first speaker, the response of the first speaker is consistent with the verbal The semantic part of the utterance is associated; a language translation module connected to the dialog manager, operable to translate the semantic part into a second language different from the first language.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to language analysis systems, and more particularly to computer-implemented natural language analyzers. Background technique [0002] A dialog can be described as an effective communication between two or more parties. An effective communication requires the participation of at least two parties. If two participants are willing to engage in dialogue but do not have a common language, their communication cannot be effective, resulting in no dialogue. Another important aspect of dialogue is rotation. An effective conversation includes a rotation (or speaking opportunity) for each participant. [0003] Existing computer-implemented language processing systems for translation lack the natural back and forth nature of dialogue. Often these systems are passive systems that slavishly translate the language in a conversation. Existing systems take little proactive action to guide a conversation in order to help conv...
