Abstract: We report on the results of the first evaluations for the BBN/LIMSI system under the new DARPA EARS Program. The evaluations were carried out for conversational telephone speech (CTS) and broadcast news (BN) for three languages: English, Mandarin, and Arabic. In addition to providing system descriptions and evaluation results, the paper highlights methods that worked well across the two domains and those few that worked well on one domain but not the other. For the BN evaluations, which had to be run under 10 times real-time, we demonstrated that a joint BBN/LIMSI system with that time constraint achieved better results than either system alone.
