“…Our approach has been fully implemented within a Swedish-to-English version of the Spoken Language Translator [10,11]. The system is capable of translating spoken utterances from the Air Travel Planning (ATIS) domain from Swedish into English, using a vocabulary of about 1 500 words.…”

This paper describes and evaluates a simple and general solution to the handling of compound nouns in Swedish and other languages in which compounds can be formed by concatenation of single words. The basic idea is to split compounds into their components and treat these components as recognition units equivalent to other words in the language model. By using a principled grammar-based language-processing architecture, it is then possible to accommodate input in split-compound format. 1

A spoken language system combines speech recognition, natural language processing and h h a n interface technology. It functions by recognizing the pervn's words, interpreting the sequence of words to obtain a meaning in terms of the application, and providing an appropriate respinse back to the user. Potential applications of spoken lan 8e"systems range from simple tasks, such as retrieving informgo frdm an existing database (traffic reports, airline schedules),$to interactive problem solving tasks involving complex planning and reasoning (travel planning, traflic routing), to support for multilingual interactions. We examine eight key areas in which basic research is needed to produce spoken language systems: 1) robust speech recognition; 2) automatic training and adaptation; 3) spontaneous speech; 4) dialogue models; 5) natural language response generation; 6) speech synthesis and speech generation; 7) multilingual systems; and 8) interactive multimodal systems. In each area, we identify key research challenges, the infrastructure needed to support research, and the expected benefits. We conclude by reviewing the need for multidisciplinary research, for development of shared corpora and related resources, for computational support and for rapid communication among researchers. The successful development of this technology will increase accessibility of computers to a wide range of users, will facilitate multinational communication and trade, and will create new research specialties and jobs in this rapidly expanding area.
