Speech-enabled language translation system and method enabling interactive user supervision of translation and speech recognition accuracy
First Claim
1. A method for mapping word senses across lexical resources, comprising method operations of:
- selecting a target term from a first lexical resource;
identifying a restricted range of possible matches to the target term from a second lexical resource;
calculating a semantic distance between one of the possible matches to the target term;
ranking the possible matches to the target term according to relevance; and
associating the target term from the first lexical resource with one of the possible matches having a lowest semantic distance from the target term, wherein at least one method operation is executed through a processor.

Abstract
A system and method for a highly interactive style of speech-to-speech translation is provided. The method includes receiving a first and a second language selection and receiving an expression in the first language. The method includes presenting the expression in the first language for verification and translating the verified expression into an expression in the second language. The method further includes confirming the meaning of terms within the verified expression in the first language and back-translating the expression in the second language to a back-translated expression in the first language. The back-translated expression is verified in the first language.
