In evaluating what constitutes natural speech, particular attention was paid to word usage that depended on the e xtra-linguistic information from the context, situation , environment and so on. We discuss what types of extra-linguistic information a spoken-language translation system requires to create naturally commu nicativ e dialogs. We then propose a method of improving the precision of translation by utilizing this extralinguistic information. Preliminary experimentation showing performance improvements in TDMT makes us believe that the proposed scheme can improve the performance of dialog MT.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/142","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0142.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/142.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/142","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
