Project Overview and Goals

AGILE is a large, multiple institution project funded by the DARPA Global Autonomous Language Exploitation (GALE) program with the aim of developing speech and language processing technologies to recognise, analyse, and translate speech and text into readable English.

Research areas include:

The research will extend and integrate the current state-of-the-art Speech-to-Text (STT) and Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems developed within the Speech Research Group at Cambridge University. The speech recognition systems are based on the Hidden Markov Model Toolkit (HTK). HTK is a portable toolkit for building and manipulating hidden Markov models and is in use at hundreds of sites worldwide. The statistical machine translation work is based on the translation template model (TTM) system.
