Abstract

In a speech-to-speech translation system, contextual reasoning for purposes of disambiguation has to respect the specific conditions arising from speech input; on the one hand, it is part of a real-time system, on the other hand, it needs to take errors in the speech recognition phase into account and hence be particular robust. This paper describes the context evaluation module of the Verbmobil translation system: What are the linguistic phenomena that require contextual reasoning, what does the context representation look like, how is it constructed during utterance interpretation, and how is it used for disambiguation and reasoning.
