Tutorial: Hands-on implementation of incremental systems

held at ESSLLI 201& (original version held at U Bielefeld on 2013-12-09)

The sections below each cover different parts of InproTK, but they should ideally be followed in order.

To fully follow the exercises, you should have InproTK installed and in a working condition, see the InproTK setup instructions. Also, you should have Eclipse (or some other, similar IDE) to help you browse through the code. (Quite usefully, when you mark the name of a method or variable in Eclipse and then right-click on it, Eclipse can take you to the definition of that method ("Open Declaration"). This is very useful to find the interesting bits in the code and get a grasp of what is going on.)

1. Speech Recognition: Producing and analyzing partial recognition hypotheses
2. Speech Synthesis: Speaking before, uh, knowing what to say.
3. Incremental Babelfish: Putting it all together
