TC-STAR Workshop on Speech-to-Speech Translation
June 19-21, 2006
Barcelona, Spain



TC-STAR is a European integrated project focusing on Speech-to-Speech
Translation (SST).

The project targets unconstrained conversational speech domains in
three languages: European English, European Spanish, and Mandarin
Chinese.

The workshop intends to bring together researchers working on all
aspects of speech-to-speech translation and to compare TC-Star
innovative approaches to other on-going research projects. The
workshop is associated with an open evaluation campaign (for details
see: www.elda.org/tcstar-workshop), whose results will be presented in
addition to regular papers.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The workshop invites the submission of papers on original and
unpublished research on all aspects of speech-to-speech translation:

    * speech and language translation
    * speech recognition
    * speech synthesis
    * evaluation and system aspects: performance measures, integration
     of recognition and translation, combination of system outputs, ...

Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. Further
details on the submission guidelines can be found on the workshop web
site www.elda.org/tcstar-workshop.
