Verbmobil: Foundations of Speech-to-Speech Translation

Part of the book series: Artificial Intelligence ((AI))

Abstract

The Tübingen treebanks for spoken German, English and Japanese provide linguistic annotations for the Verbmobil dialog corpus of spontaneous speech in the scenarios of appointment negotiations, travel arrangements and personal computer maintenance. The annotation schemes of the Tübingen treebanks have been developed taking into account the specific characteristics of spoken language dialogs: repetitions, hesitations, “false starts”, etc.
