SMaLL-100: Introducing Shallow Multilingual Machine Translation Model for Low-Resource Languages
Alireza Mohammadshahi, Vassilina Nikoulina, Alexandre Berard +3
In recent years, multilingual machine translation models have achieved promising performance on low-resource language pairs by sharing information between similar languages, thus e…
BERT, can HE predict contrastive focus? Predicting and controlling prominence in neural TTS using a language model
Brooke Stephenson, Laurent Besacier, Laurent Girin +1
Several recent studies have tested the use of transformer language model representations to infer prosodic features for text-to-speech synthesis (TTS). While these studies have exp…
Listen and Translate: A Proof of Concept for End-to-End Speech-to-Text Translation
Alexandre Berard, Olivier Pietquin, Christophe Servan +1
This paper proposes a first attempt to build an end-to-end speech-to-text translation system, which does not use source language transcription during learning or decoding. We propo…
Word2Vec vs DBnary: Augmenting METEOR using Vector Representations or Lexical Resources?
Christophe Servan, Alexandre Berard, Zied Elloumi +2
This paper presents an approach combining lexico-semantic resources and distributed representations of words applied to the evaluation in machine translation (MT). This study is ma…
Inducing Multilingual Text Analysis Tools Using Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks
Othman Zennaki, Nasredine Semmar, Laurent Besacier
This work focuses on the rapid development of linguistic annotation tools for resource-poor languages. We experiment several cross-lingual annotation projection methods using Recur…
Automatic Quality Assessment for Speech Translation Using Joint ASR and MT Features
Ngoc-Tien Le, Benjamin Lecouteux, Laurent Besacier
This paper addresses automatic quality assessment of spoken language translation (SLT). This relatively new task is defined and formalized as a sequence labeling problem where each…
