We are developing a new set of methods for integrated semantic-parse-based automatic speech recognition and machine translation between Qatari broadcast TV (including Modern Standard Arabic, Qatari Arabic as spoken on Qatari TV, and dialects from across the Arab world as heard on Qatari satellite television talk shows) and English.
