Is "moby dick" a Whale or a Bird? Named Entities and Terminology in Speech Translation
Marco Gaido, Susana Rodríguez, Matteo Negri +2
Automatic translation systems are known to struggle with rare words. Among these, named entities (NEs) and domain-specific terms are crucial, since errors in their translation can…
Speechformer: Reducing Information Loss in Direct Speech Translation
Sara Papi, Marco Gaido, Matteo Negri +1
Transformer-based models have gained increasing popularity achieving state-of-the-art performance in many research fields including speech translation. However, Transformer's quadr…
Between Flexibility and Consistency: Joint Generation of Captions and Subtitles
Alina Karakanta, Marco Gaido, Matteo Negri +1
Speech translation (ST) has lately received growing interest for the generation of subtitles without the need for an intermediate source language transcription and timing (i.e. cap…
Dealing with training and test segmentation mismatch: FBK@IWSLT2021
Sara Papi, Marco Gaido, Matteo Negri +1
This paper describes FBK's system submission to the IWSLT 2021 Offline Speech Translation task. We participated with a direct model, which is a Transformer-based architecture train…
Cascade versus Direct Speech Translation: Do the Differences Still Make a Difference?
Luisa Bentivogli, Mauro Cettolo, Marco Gaido +4
Five years after the first published proofs of concept, direct approaches to speech translation (ST) are now competing with traditional cascade solutions. In light of this steady p…
How to Split: the Effect of Word Segmentation on Gender Bias in Speech Translation
Marco Gaido, Beatrice Savoldi, Luisa Bentivogli +2
Having recognized gender bias as a major issue affecting current translation technologies, researchers have primarily attempted to mitigate it by working on the data front. However…
Gender Bias in Machine Translation
Beatrice Savoldi, Marco Gaido, Luisa Bentivogli +2
Machine translation (MT) technology has facilitated our daily tasks by providing accessible shortcuts for gathering, elaborating and communicating information. However, it can suff…
Beyond Voice Activity Detection: Hybrid Audio Segmentation for Direct Speech Translation
Marco Gaido, Matteo Negri, Mauro Cettolo +1
The audio segmentation mismatch between training data and those seen at run-time is a major problem in direct speech translation. Indeed, while systems are usually trained on manua…
CTC-based Compression for Direct Speech Translation
Marco Gaido, Mauro Cettolo, Matteo Negri +1
Previous studies demonstrated that a dynamic phone-informed compression of the input audio is beneficial for speech translation (ST). However, they required a dedicated model for p…
