Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for enhancing interactive translation and dialogue systems. In one embodiment, a method for conducting an interactive dialogue includes receiving an input signal in a first language, where the input signal includes one or more words, processing the words in accordance with a vocabulary, and adjusting a probability relating to at least one of the words in the vocabulary for an output signal. Subsequently, the method may output a translation of the input signal in a second language, in accordance with the vocabulary. In one embodiment, adjusting the probability involves adjusting a probability that the word will be used in actual conversation.
