Speech-to-speech translation in an assisted living lab

Abstract

In this paper we describe speech processing in the Bremen ambient assisted living lab (BAALL); how it is currently and how it can be improved in the future with the implementation of Machine Translation (MT) technology. We are experiencing the ageing population phenomenon today and thus living in a safe, autonomous, independent, and convenient way in a domestic environment with multimodal human-machine interfaces is desired. We argue for multilinguality in assisted living environments by means of development of a speech-to-speech translation (SST) system.

“…The most commonly discussed potentials include input speed, hands-free interaction, and ability to interact using natural language as input (Kumar et al 2012, Sivaraman et al 2016. Other potentials explored include specific advantages, such as understanding how the elderly and disabled can benefit from VUIs (Pradhan et al 2018, Wulf et al 2014, how hands-free speech interaction can be used while driving a car (Goulati & Szostak 2011, Lee et al 2014, Pfleging et al 2012, and how VUIs can be combined with other modalities such as gesture, multi-touch interaction and eye gaze (Anastasiou et al 2012, Schnelle-Walka & Döweling 2012, Vieira et al 2015.…”
