Introducing Semantics into Speech Encoders
Derek Xu, Shuyan Dong, Changhan Wang +10
Recent studies find existing self-supervised speech encoders contain primarily acoustic rather than semantic information. As a result, pipelined supervised automatic speech recogni…
Speech-to-Speech Translation For A Real-world Unwritten Language
Peng-Jen Chen, Kevin Tran, Yilin Yang +13
We study speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) that translates speech from one language into another language and focuses on building systems to support languages without standard te…
SpeechMatrix: A Large-Scale Mined Corpus of Multilingual Speech-to-Speech Translations
Paul-Ambroise Duquenne, Hongyu Gong, Ning Dong +7
We present SpeechMatrix, a large-scale multilingual corpus of speech-to-speech translations mined from real speech of European Parliament recordings. It contains speech alignments…
Improving Speech-to-Speech Translation Through Unlabeled Text
Xuan-Phi Nguyen, Sravya Popuri, Changhan Wang +3
Direct speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) is among the most challenging problems in the translation paradigm due to the significant scarcity of S2ST data. While effort has been ma…
Simple and Effective Unsupervised Speech Translation
Changhan Wang, Hirofumi Inaguma, Peng-Jen Chen +5
The amount of labeled data to train models for speech tasks is limited for most languages, however, the data scarcity is exacerbated for speech translation which requires labeled d…
Unified Speech-Text Pre-training for Speech Translation and Recognition
Yun Tang, Hongyu Gong, Ning Dong +8
We describe a method to jointly pre-train speech and text in an encoder-decoder modeling framework for speech translation and recognition. The proposed method incorporates four sel…
