Toward an interagency language roundtable based assessment of speech-to-speech translation capabilitites

Published in:
AMTA 2006, 7th Biennial Conf. of the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, 8-12 August 2006.

Summary

We present observations from three exercises designed to map the effective listening and speaking skills of an operator of a speech-to-speech translation system (S2S) to the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale. Such a mapping is nontrivial, but will be useful for government and military decision makers in managing expectations of S2S technology. We observed domain-dependent S2S capabilities in the ILR range of Level 0+ to Level 1, and interactive text-based machine translation in the Level 3 range.
