Spoken language processing in a multilingual context

The authors overview the spoken language processing activities at LIMSI, which are carried out in a multilingual framework. These activities include speech-to-text conversion, spoken language systems for information retrieval, speaker and language recognition, and speech response. The Spoken Language Processing Group has also been actively involved in corpora development and evaluation. The group has regularly participated in evaluations organized by ARPA, in the LE-SQALE project, and in the AUPELF-UREF program for provision of linguistic resources and evaluation tests for French.
