Evaluating Automatic Subtitling: Correlating Post-editing Effort and Automatic Metrics

COLING 2024main

Systems that automatically generate subtitles from video are gradually entering subtitling workflows, both for supporting subtitlers and for accessibility purposes. Even though robust metrics are essential for evaluating the quality of automatically-generated subtitles and for estimating potential p…

Cascade versus Direct Speech Translation: Do the Differences Still Make a Difference?

ACL 2021long

Five years after the first published proofs of concept, direct approaches to speech translation (ST) are now competing with traditional cascade solutions. In light of this steady progress, can we claim that the performance gap between the two is closed? Starting from this question, we present a syst…

The Two Shades of Dubbing in Neural Machine Translation

COLING 2020main

Dubbing has two shades; synchronisation constraints are applied only when the actor’s mouth is visible on screen, while the translation is unconstrained for off-screen dubbing. Consequently, different synchronisation requirements, and therefore translation strategies, are applied depending on the ty…
