1. Toward a Broad-coverage Bilingual Corpus for Speech Translation of Travel Conversations in the Real World (2002 · 328 citations)
   Speech translation systems of that period worked only in narrow scenarios such as booking a hotel room. ATR researchers wanted a bilingual Japanese–English resource that could support wider, real-world travel use. They contrasted two complementary corpora. The first is the spoken travel conversation corpus (TC)…
2. Measuring Non-native Speakers' Proficiency of English by Using a Test with Automatically-Generated Fill-in-the-Blank Questions (2005 · 148 citations)
   The paper addresses the high cost of writing fill-in-the-blank (FBQ) English proficiency tests. Good wrong options, which mislead only weaker learners, normally require skilled human writers. The authors build an automatic pipeline that works from a seed sentence taken from business and travel conversation corpora or…
3. Automatic Measuring of English Language Proficiency using MT Evaluation Technology (2004 · 6 citations)
   The paper asks whether tools built to score machine translation can also grade human learners of English. The authors want a fast, computer-run test that does not require experts to write multiple-choice items. Japanese learners translate Japanese sentences into English. Their output is compared with multiple…
