Abstract
In this paper we describe our work in machine translation of Arabic speech into English. This work was done within the context of the GALE research program. We describe several integration techniques between our ASR and MT system. Our initial results suggest that tighter coupling between ASR and MT system improves the translation quality of speech input. We explore the effect of each integration technique on the overall system.
