✦ Synopsis
We report our experience of applying a stochastic method for understanding natural language to a multilingual appointment scheduling task, in particular, to the English spontaneous speech task (ESST). The aim of the spoken language systems developed for this task is to translate spontaneous conversational speech among different languages. We have investigated the portability of a stochastic semantic analyser from a setting of human-machine interactions air travel information services (ATIS) and multimodal multimedia automated service kiosk (MASK) into the more open one of human-to-human interactions (ESST).

## Abstract The prototype sign language translation system described herein interprets Japanese sign language to verbal Japanese language. Since sign language has a unique morphology and syntax, the sign language translation system requires linguistic translation after recognition of the input symb
This paper presents a new method for utilizing translator knowledge bases for machine translation systems. Translator knowledge to be stored and utilized consists of 'translationally equivalent pattern pairs': surface-level phrasal, clausal, and sentential correspondences between the source and targ
