JANUS is a multi-lingual speech-tospeech translation systern designed to facilitate communication between two parties engaged in a spontaneous con- versation in a limitcd dmnain. In an attempt to achieve both robustness and translation accuracy we use two different translation components: the GLI

We develop a connectionist approach to processing in quasi-regular domains, as exemplified by English word reading. A consideration of the shortcomings of a previous implementation (Seidenberg & McClelland, 1989, Psych. Rev.) in reading nonwords leads to the development of orthographic

the development of a modelling language capable of expressing temporal and numeric properties of planning domains. In this paper we describe the language, PDDL2.1, that was used in the competition. We describe the syntax of the language, its formal semantics and the validation of concurrent plans. We observe

In this paper we report on our e orts to combine speech and language processing toward multi-lingual spontaneous speech translation. The ongoing work extends our JANUS system e ort toward handling spontaneous spoken discourse and multiple languages. A major objective of this project is to maximize

definitions for general-purpose terms and acts as a foundation for more specific domain ontologies. In this paper we outline the strategy used to create the current version of the SUMO, discuss some of the challenges that we faced in constructing the ontology, and describe in detail its most general concepts

JANUS is a multi-lingual speech-to-speech translation system, which has been designed to translate spontaneous spoken language in a limited domain. In this paper, we describe our recent preliminary efforts to expand the domain of coverage of the system from the rather limited Appointment Scheduling

God, having designed man for a sociable creature, made him not only with an inclination and under a necessity to have fellowship with those of his own kind, but furnished him also with language, which was to be the great instrument and common tie of society.

We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a noncommutative space, and discuss the corrections away from
