Qatar first-years spend the weekend after midterms in Muscat, Oman. Students played games and went rock climbing and mountain biking, admiring the scenery of Oman while also learning about the lifestyle and culture of the Omanese people.

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar
A special lecture hosted by the School of Computer Science. A reception will be held following the lecture.
Alex Waibel is a Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh and at the University of Karlsruhe (Germany). He directs interACT, the international Center for Advanced Communication Tec...hnologies at both Universities with research emphasis in speech recognition, language processing, speech translation, multimodal and perceptual user interfaces. At Carnegie Mellon, he also serves as Associate Director of the Language Technologies Institute and holds joint appointments in the Human Computer Interaction Institute and the Computer Science Department.
Dr. Waibel was one of the founders of C-STAR, the international consortium for speech translation research and served as its chairman from 1998-2000. His team has developed the JANUS speech translation system, the first American and European Speech Translation system, and a number of multimodal systems including the perceptual Meeting Room, the Meeting recognizer and Meeting Browser.
His contributions to multilingual and speech translation systems was awarded the "Alcatel SEL Research Prize for Technical Communication" in 1994, the "Allen Newell Award for Research Excellence" from CMU in 2002, and the Speech Communication Best Paper Award in 2002.
Title: Bridging the Language Divide
As our world becomes increasingly interdependent and gloabalization
brings people together more than ever, we quickly discover that it
is no longer the "digital divide" that separates us, but the "language
divide" and the associated cultural differences. Nearly everyone has
a cell phone and *could* connect with everyone else on the planet, if
only they shared a common language and a common understanding. Forcing
uniformity however, is neither realistic nor desirable, as we enjoy
the beauty and individuality of each of our languages and cultural
heritage. Can technology provide an answer?
In this talk, I will discuss language technology solutions that offer
us the best of both worlds: maintaining our cultural diversity while
enabling the integration, communication and collaboration that our modern
world has to offer. I will present cross-lingual computer Communication
systems from our University labs as well as from our start-up ventures.
More specifically, I will present:
- a computer dialog translator on laptops for humanitarian missions
and government services
- a pocket speech translator running on an iPhone for tourists and
medical doctors. The software app is called Jibbigo, and is the
worlds first commercially available speech translator running on
a telephone.
- a simultaneous translation system that translates academic lectures
in real time.
- a road sign translator that reads and translates road-signs
from other languages and scripts.
In the talk, I will review how this technology works and what levels
of performance are now possible. Then we will be concerned with the
delivery of such technology, so that language separation will truely
fade naturally into the background. Finally, we will discuss ongoing
research on the "portability problem", how we might build cross-lingual
communication tool more effectively and inexpensively so that many more
of the 6,000+ languages and dialects of the world can be serviced at
acceptable cost.
This lecture will be accompanied by live demos of the systems we discuss
and a computer will simultaneously translate my lecture (into Spanish).
