TODAY: Hotel Booking Dialogue Translator
The DCU-Huawei Chinese-English Dialogue Translator is designed to be a real-time, semantics-enhanced, task-oriented machine translation system. The novel contributions are:
- bilingual discourse corpus construction and domain adaptation regarding spoken languages;
- task-oriented named entity (NE) definition and a hybrid strategy for NE recognition and translation; and
- a novel grounded semantic method for dialogue understanding and task-order management.
This system is a case-study demo which can efficiently and accurately assist customers and agents in different languages to reach an agreement in a dialogue for the hotel booking task. All the detailed description are described in this paper:
