Prototype-Driven Multi-Feature Generation for Visible-Infrared Person Re-identification

ICASSP 2025accepted

The primary challenges in visible-infrared person re-identification arise from the differences between visible (vis) and infrared (ir) images, including inter-modal and intra-modal variations. These challenges are further complicated by varying viewpoints and irregular movements. Existing methods of…

Language-Informed Beam Search Decoding for Multilingual Machine Translation

ACL 2024findings

Beam search decoding is the de-facto method for decoding auto-regressive Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models, including multilingual NMT where the target language is specified as an input. However, decoding multilingual NMT models commonly produces off-target translations – yielding translation…

Speech-to-Speech Translation for a Real-world Unwritten Language

ACL 2023findings

We study speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) that translates speech from one language into another language and focuses on building systems to support languages without standard text writing systems. We use English-Taiwanese Hokkien as a case study, and present an end-to-end solution from training d…

Improving Multilingual Translation by Representation and Gradient Regularization

EMNLP 2021main

Multilingual Neural Machine Translation (NMT) enables one model to serve all translation directions, including ones that are unseen during training, i.e. zero-shot translation. Despite being theoretically attractive, current models often produce low quality translations – commonly failing to even pr…
