Project Goals (1/2)
Teaming up the Majority of Key Researchers in Speech Science and Technologies in Taiwan
– 11 members across 7 universities and Academia Sinica, senior and younger – actually a national delegation
Forming an Integrated Research Group with Focused Directions
– three sub-projects closely integrated
Exchanging and Learning Research Experiences from Colleagues in Japan, and Developing Real Collaboration Relationships
– international partners in Japan including ATR as the core and five university labs as initial satellites
SLIDE 16
Project Goals (2/2)
Possible Collaboration Areas
– any area of common interests, mentioned or not in our presentation/website, related to Chinese language or not – willing to offer experiences in Chinese if helpful, e.g. for cross-language technologies

Multi-lingual Environment in Future Networks—Roles of Japanese and Chinese Languages
Internet Users by Language (end of 2004, total 801.4 million) Clear Trend
– Non-English users continuously increasing – Japanese and Chinese are currently (and may continuously be) the two largest non-English groups
Collaboration between the Two Languages should Break New Grounds for Future Multi-lingual Network World
English, 35.90% Chinese, 13.20% Japanese, 8.30% German, 6.80% Spanish, 6.70% French, 4.40% Korean, 3.80% Italian, 3.60% Portuguese, 2.90% Dutch, 1.70% All Others, 12.70%
