Accent conversion using discrete units with parallel data synthesized from controllable accented TTS
Tuan Nam Nguyen, Ngoc Quan Pham, Alexander Waibel
The goal of accent conversion (AC) is to convert speech accents while preserving content and speaker identity. Previous methods either required reference utterances during inferenc…
Predictive Speech Recognition and End-of-Utterance Detection Towards Spoken Dialog Systems
Oswald Zink, Yosuke Higuchi, Carlos Mullov +2
Effective spoken dialog systems should facilitate natural interactions with quick and rhythmic timing, mirroring human communication patterns. To reduce response times, previous ef…
Decoupled Vocabulary Learning Enables Zero-Shot Translation from Unseen Languages
Carlos Mullov, Ngoc-Quan Pham, Alexander Waibel
Multilingual neural machine translation systems learn to map sentences of different languages into a common representation space. Intuitively, with a growing number of seen languag…
From Text Segmentation to Smart Chaptering: A Novel Benchmark for Structuring Video Transcriptions
Fabian Retkowski, Alexander Waibel
Text segmentation is a fundamental task in natural language processing, where documents are split into contiguous sections. However, prior research in this area has been constraine…
KIT's Multilingual Speech Translation System for IWSLT 2023
Danni Liu, Thai Binh Nguyen, Sai Koneru +7
Many existing speech translation benchmarks focus on native-English speech in high-quality recording conditions, which often do not match the conditions in real-life use-cases. In…
Toward Multilingual Neural Machine Translation with Universal Encoder and Decoder
Thanh-Le Ha, Jan Niehues, Alexander Waibel
In this paper, we present our first attempts in building a multilingual Neural Machine Translation framework under a unified approach. We are then able to employ attention-based NM…
