TextSeal2: Distortion-Free LLM Watermarking with Copula Mixing and Memoryless Races

Tom Sander, Pierre Fernandez, Itai Gat +11

We present TextSeal2, a distortion-free watermark for large language models that keeps its signal under speculative decoding: tokens that replace rejected drafts remain watermarked…

MELD: Mel-Spectrogram-Based Speech Language Modeling with Discrete Latent Variables

Sung-Lin Yeh, Wei Zhou, Gil Keren +6

Recent speech language models rely on encoders that are optimized separately from autoregressive models. Since these encoders are unaware of the downstream objectives, the extracte…

Omnilingual SONAR: Cross-Lingual and Cross-Modal Sentence Embeddings Bridging Massively Multilingual Text and Speech

Omnilingual SONAR Team, João Maria Janeiro, Pere-Lluís Huguet Cabot +17

Cross-lingual sentence encoders typically cover only a few hundred languages and often trade downstream quality for stronger alignment, limiting their adoption. We introduce OmniSO…

Omnilingual MT: Machine Translation for 1,600 Languages

Omnilingual MT Team, Belen Alastruey, Niyati Bafna +29

High-quality machine translation (MT) can scale to hundreds of languages, setting a high bar for multilingual systems. However, compared to the world's 7,000 languages, current sys…

Seamless: Multilingual Expressive and Streaming Speech Translation

Seamless Communication, Loïc Barrault, Yu-An Chung +62

Large-scale automatic speech translation systems today lack key features that help machine-mediated communication feel seamless when compared to human-to-human dialogue. In this wo…

SeamlessM4T: Massively Multilingual & Multimodal Machine Translation

Seamless Communication, Loïc Barrault, Yu-An Chung +65

What does it take to create the Babel Fish, a tool that can help individuals translate speech between any two languages? While recent breakthroughs in text-based models have pushed…

xSIM++: An Improved Proxy to Bitext Mining Performance for Low-Resource Languages

Mingda Chen, Kevin Heffernan, Onur Çelebi +2

We introduce a new proxy score for evaluating bitext mining based on similarity in a multilingual embedding space: xSIM++. In comparison to xSIM, this improved proxy leverages rule…

BLASER: A Text-Free Speech-to-Speech Translation Evaluation Metric

Mingda Chen, Paul-Ambroise Duquenne, Pierre Andrews +4

End-to-End speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) is generally evaluated with text-based metrics. This means that generated speech has to be automatically transcribed, making the eval…

No Language Left Behind: Scaling Human-Centered Machine Translation

NLLB Team, Marta R. Costa-jussà, James Cross +36

Driven by the goal of eradicating language barriers on a global scale, machine translation has solidified itself as a key focus of artificial intelligence research today. However,…
