Towards Fine-Grained Code-Switch Speech Translation with Semantic Space Alignment

IJCAI 2026

Code-switching (CS) speech translation (ST) aims to translate speech that alternates between multiple languages into a target language text, posing significant challenges due to the complexity of semantic modeling and the scarcity of CS data. Previous studies mainly rely on the models themselves to

Improving Long Text Understanding with Knowledge Distilled from Summarization Model

ICASSP 2024accepted

Long text understanding is important yet challenging for natural language processing. A long article or document usually contains many redundant words that are not pertinent to its gist and sometimes can be regarded as noise. With recent advances of abstractive summarization, we propose our Gist Det…

MPII: Multi-Level Mutual Promotion for Inference and Interpretation

ACL 2022long

In order to better understand the rationale behind model behavior, recent works have exploited providing interpretation to support the inference prediction. However, existing methods tend to provide human-unfriendly interpretation, and are prone to sub-optimal performance due to one-side promotion,…

Adversarial Mutual Information for Text Generation

ICML 2020poster

Recent advances in maximizing mutual information (MI) between the source and target have demonstrated its effectiveness in text generation. However, previous works paid little attention to modeling the backward network of MI (i.e., dependency from the target to the source), which is crucial to the t…

MacNet: Transferring Knowledge from Machine Comprehension to Sequence-to-Sequence Models

NeurIPS 2018poster

Machine Comprehension (MC) is one of the core problems in natural language processing, requiring both understanding of the natural language and knowledge about the world. Rapid progress has been made since the release of several benchmark datasets, and recently the state-of-the-art models even surpa…
