Direct Simultaneous Translation Activation for Large Audio-Language Models
Pei Zhang, Yiming Wang, Jialong Tang +4
Simultaneous speech-to-text translation (Simul-S2TT) aims to translate speech into target text in real time, outputting translations while receiving source speech input, rather tha…
SASFT: Sparse Autoencoder-guided Supervised Finetuning to Mitigate Unexpected Code-Switching in LLMs
Boyi Deng, Yu Wan, Baosong Yang +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) have impressive multilingual capabilities, but they suffer from unexpected code-switching, also known as language mixing, which involves switching to u…
Sampling-Efficient Test-Time Scaling: Self-Estimating the Best-of-N Sampling in Early Decoding
Yiming Wang, Pei Zhang, Siyuan Huang +4
Test-time scaling enhances large language model performance by allocating additional compute resources during inference. Best-of-N (BoN) sampling serves as a common sampling-based…
PART: Progressive Alignment Representation Training for Multilingual Speech-To-Text with LLMs
Pei Zhang, Andong Chen, Xi Chen +3
Large language models (LLMs) have expanded from text to speech, giving rise to Speech Large Models (SLMs) that support recognition, translation, and synthesis. A key challenge is a…
Translationese-index: Using Likelihood Ratios for Graded and Generalizable Measurement of Translationese
Yikang Liu, Wanyang Zhang, Yiming Wang +6
Translationese refers to linguistic properties that usually occur in translated texts. Previous works study translationese by framing it as a binary classification between original…
CultureSynth: A Hierarchical Taxonomy-Guided and Retrieval-Augmented Framework for Cultural Question-Answer Synthesis
Xinyu Zhang, Pei Zhang, Shuang Luo +4
Cultural competence, defined as the ability to understand and adapt to multicultural contexts, is increasingly vital for large language models (LLMs) in global environments. While…
