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

0206207 ColeThis美洲计划奖将为罗纳德A.科罗拉多大学的科尔和布莱恩·佩洛姆，以及奈茨B博士。Yoma在智利圣地亚哥的智利大学。 数字政府计划和NSF-CNPq合作研究机会计划提供了共同支持。他们的项目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。 高级对话系统是在特定任务领域中支持自然、不受约束的会话交互的人机接口。 双方的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。 主要想法是建立科罗拉多大学的试验台系统作为LPTV先进的联合研究。 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，从而提供来自真实的用户的真实的数据，以评估系统组件。 将在圣地亚哥开发和部署先进的对话系统，以便通过电话和移动电话获取有用的信息。

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.
