Talk Title: How to Speak a Language Without Knowing It

Series: Natural Language Seminar

Abstract: We develop a system that lets people overcome language barriers by letting them speak a language they do not know. Our system accepts text entered by a user, translates the text, then converts the translation into a phonetic spelling in the userÃ¢â¬â¢s own orthography. We trained the system on phonetic spellings in travel phrasebooks.

Biography: Xing Shi is a PhD student at USC, advised by Professor Kevin Knight.

Host: Aliya Deri and Kevin Knight
