Popis: Verbmobil1 is a large German joint research project in the area spontaneous speech-to-speech translation systems which is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Education. In its first phase (1992–1996) ca. 30 research groups in universities, research institutes and industry were involved, and it entered its second phase in January 1997. The overall goal is develop a system which supports face-to-face negotiation dialogues about the scheduling of meetings as its first domain, which will be enlarged to more general scenarios during the second project phase. For the dialogue situation it is assumed that two speakers with different mother tongues (German and Japanese) have some common knowledge of English. Whenever a speaker’s knowledge of English is not sufficient, the Verbmobil system will serve him as a speech translation device to which he can talk in his native language.
