U.S.-Chile Program: Advancing Human Language Technology in the U.S. and Chile through Collaborative Research on Advanced Dialogue Systems

这个美洲项目奖将为科罗拉多大学的Ronald A.Cole博士和Bryan Pellom博士以及智利大学圣地亚哥分校的Nestor B.Yoma博士之间的合作研究项目提供支持。数字政府计划和NSF-CNPq合作研究机会计划共同提供支持。他们的项目的目标是为美国和智利的高级对话系统的合作研究和开发提供基础，从而部署工作系统作为研究的试验台。高级对话系统是支持特定任务域中自然的、不受限制的对话交互的人机界面。双方研究人员将在对话工程、大词汇量连续语音识别系统和文本到语音引擎等主题上进行合作。其主要想法是在LPTV建立科罗拉多大学通讯系统作为高级联合研究的试验台。这将成为研究的基础，使美洲人民能够通过电话网络获取在线信息，从而提供来自真实用户的真实数据，以评估系统部件。将在圣地亚哥开发和部署先进的对话系统，使人们能够通过电话和手机获取有用的信息。

0206207ColeThis Americas Program award will provide support for a cooperative research project between Drs. Ronald A. Cole and Bryan Pellom, University of Colorado, and Dr. Nestor B. Yoma at the University of Chile, in Santiago, Chile. Co-support is provided by the Digital Government Program and the NSF-CNPq Collaborative Research Opportunities Program.The goal of their project is to provide a foundation for collaborative research and development of advanced dialogue systems in the U.S. and Chile, resulting in the deployment of working systems as test beds for research. Advanced dialogue systems are human computer interfaces that support natural, unconstrained conversational interaction in specific task domains. Researchers from both sides will collaborate on topics such as dialogue engineering, large vocabulary continuous speech recognition systems and text-to-speech engines. The main idea is to set up the Colorado University Communicator system as test bed at LPTV for advanced joint research. This will be the basis for research that will enable people in the Americas to access online information over telephone networks, and will thus provide real data from real users to evaluate system components. Advanced dialogue systems will be developed and deployed in Santiago enabling access to useful information via telephones and cellular phones.
