MUXING: a telephone-access Mandarin conversational system

MUXING is a telephone-based conversational system that allows users to access weather information in Mandarin Chinese over the telephone. AlthoughMUXING utilizes the same architecture as well as most of the same human language technology components as its English predecessor, JUPITER, some modifications to the system were necessary to account for differences between English and Mandarin Chinese. In addition, the weather database needed to be modified to reflect regions of greater interest to potential Chinese users. This paper describes our system development effort, paying particular attention to Mandarinspecific changes to the original JUPITERsystem.
