Abstract
A technique for context adaptation of a speech-to-speech translation system is provided. A plurality of sets of paralinguistic attribute values is obtained from a plurality of input signals. Each set of the plurality of sets of paralinguistic attribute values is extracted from a corresponding input signal of the plurality of input signals via a corresponding classifier of a plurality of classifiers. A final set of paralinguistic attribute values is generated for the plurality of input signals from the plurality of sets of paralinguistic attribute values. Performance of at least one of a speech recognition module, a translation module and a text-to-speech module of the speech-to-speech translation system is modified in accordance with the final set of paralinguistic attribute values for the plurality of input signals.
