| Abstract(in English) | This paper presents an automatic method for compiling travel information and its application to a speech translation system for travel conversations as an example of collective intelligence. For the compilation, we focus on travel blogs, which are defined as travel journals written by bloggers in diary form. We consider that travel blogs are a useful information source for obtaining travel information, because many bloggers' travel experiences are written in this form. Therefore, we identified travel blog entries in a large blog database and extracted travel information from them. Moreover, we investigate a method to add proper nouns such as sightseeing spots, restaurants, local foods, and souvenirs into a distributed speech-to-speech translation system of general travel conversations. Based on the investigation, we are now preparing an experiment of speech translation at Hiroshima City. Finally, we mention the status and related national works. |
