Leveraging Unit Language Guidance to Advance Speech Modeling in Textless Speech-to-Speech Translation
Yuhao Zhang, Xiangnan Ma, Kaiqi Kou +7
The success of building textless speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) models has attracted much attention. However, S2ST still faces two main challenges: 1) extracting linguistic fe…
Soft Alignment of Modality Space for End-to-end Speech Translation
Yuhao Zhang, Kaiqi Kou, Bei Li +4
End-to-end Speech Translation (ST) aims to convert speech into target text within a unified model. The inherent differences between speech and text modalities often impede effectiv…
Rethinking and Improving Multi-task Learning for End-to-end Speech Translation
Yuhao Zhang, Chen Xu, Bei Li +4
Significant improvements in end-to-end speech translation (ST) have been achieved through the application of multi-task learning. However, the extent to which auxiliary tasks are h…
Bridging the Gaps of Both Modality and Language: Synchronous Bilingual CTC for Speech Translation and Speech Recognition
Chen Xu, Xiaoqian Liu, Erfeng He +6
In this study, we present synchronous bilingual Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC), an innovative framework that leverages dual CTC to bridge the gaps of both modality and…
CTC-based Non-autoregressive Speech Translation
Chen Xu, Xiaoqian Liu, Xiaowen Liu +9
Combining end-to-end speech translation (ST) and non-autoregressive (NAR) generation is promising in language and speech processing for their advantages of less error propagation a…
Bridging the Granularity Gap for Acoustic Modeling
Chen Xu, Yuhao Zhang, Chengbo Jiao +7
While Transformer has become the de-facto standard for speech, modeling upon the fine-grained frame-level features remains an open challenge of capturing long-distance dependencies…
The NiuTrans Machine Translation Systems for WMT21
Shuhan Zhou, Tao Zhou, Binghao Wei +15
This paper describes NiuTrans neural machine translation systems of the WMT 2021 news translation tasks. We made submissions to 9 language directions, including English$\leftrighta…
Stacked Acoustic-and-Textual Encoding: Integrating the Pre-trained Models into Speech Translation Encoders
Chen Xu, Bojie Hu, Yanyang Li +5
Encoder pre-training is promising in end-to-end Speech Translation (ST), given the fact that speech-to-translation data is scarce. But ST encoders are not simple instances of Autom…
