Query: Estimating Performance of Pipelined Spoken Language Translation Systems   Most spoken language translation systems developed to date rely on a
pipelined architecture, in which the main stages are speech recognition,
linguistic analysis, transfer, generation and speech synthesis. When making
projections of error rates for systems of this kind, it is natural to assume
that the error rates for the individual components are independent, making the
system accuracy the product of the component accuracies.
  The paper reports experiments carried out using the SRI-SICS-Telia Research
Spoken Language Translator and a 1000-utterance sample of unseen data. The
results suggest that the naive performance model leads to serious overestimates
of system error rates, since there are in fact strong dependencies between the
components. Predicting the system error rate on the independence assumption by
simple multiplication resulted in a 16\% proportional overestimate for all
utterances, and a 19\% overestimate when only utterances of length 1-10 words
were considered.
