We introduce BOUQuET, a multi-way, multicentric, multi-domain, paragraph-level dataset and benchmark for machine translation evaluation, designed for crowd-sourced expansion to …
We propose a character-based translation model to improve adaptability to new languages and modalities, particularly for low-resource scenarios. Our method achieves …
We propose MaskVAT, a generative Video-to-Audio (V2A) model combining a high-quality audio codec with a masked generative model to simultaneously achieve high audio quality, …
We investigate whether speech-to-text translation systems utilize prosody by introducing a new benchmark, ContraProSt. Our findings show that while models represent prosody …
We introduce ZeroSwot, a zero-shot speech translation method that aligns a speech encoder with a multilingual MT model using only ASR data, achieving state-of-the-art results …
We propose SegAugment, a data augmentation strategy that creates multiple sentence-level variations from document-level speech data, leading to significant performance gains in …
This paper details our submission to the IWSLT 2023 Speech Translation task, which utilizes wav2vec 2.0 and mBART50 foundation models. Our method incorporates a Siamese pretraining …
We present a new method to explain how Transformer models use context for language generation, demonstrating superior alignment with linguistic phenomena and shedding light on the …
We propose a Perceiver-based encoder with a novel Dynamic Latent Access (DLA) training method for efficient Speech Translation. This approach maps long speech inputs to a …
We propose Supervised Hybrid Audio Segmentation (SHAS), a method that learns optimal speech segmentation from manually segmented data. SHAS significantly improves translation …
Our submission to the IWSLT 2022 shared task details an end-to-end speech translation system built on large pretrained models. We leverage efficient fine-tuning techniques like …
Our submission to the WMT 2021 news translation shared task for German-French translation demonstrates that fine-tuning a pretrained mBART50 model significantly outperforms a …
Our submission to the IWSLT 2021 shared task details an end-to-end speech translation system combining large pretrained models with adapters for efficient fine-tuning. By training …
