Abstract

In this paper, we present an algorithm for speech input statistical translation. This algorithm is a dynamic-programming based algorithm, which uses a word graph in the input as a representation of the acoustic of a given utterance. A beam-search implementation of this algorithm has been made and experimental results with the so called EuTrans-I task are presented.
