Recently, one popular alternative in Multilingual NMT (MNMT) is modularized MNMT that has both language-specific encoders and decoders. However, due to the absence of layer-sharing, the modularized MNMT failed to produce satisfactory language-independent (Interlingua) features, leading to performanc…
The state-of-the-art adaptive policies for Simultaneous Neural Machine Translation (SNMT) use monotonic attention to perform read/write decisions based on the partial source and target sequences. The lack of sufficient information might cause the monotonic attention to take poor read/write decisions…
In general, the direct Speech-to-text translation (ST) is jointly trained with Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), and Machine Translation (MT) tasks. However, the issues with the current joint learning strategies inhibit the knowledge transfer across these tasks. We propose a task modulation networ…
Collecting large amounts of data to train end-to-end Speech Translation (ST) models is more difficult compared to the ASR and MT tasks. Previous studies have proposed the use of transfer learning approaches to overcome the above difficulty. These approaches benefit from weakly supervised training da…
