Dialogs Re-enacted Across Languages

1 code implementation • 18 Nov 2022 • Nigel G. Ward, Jonathan E. Avila, Emilia Rivas, Divette Marco

To support machine learning of cross-language prosodic mappings and other ways to improve speech-to-speech translation, we present a protocol for collecting closely matched pairs of utterances across languages, a description of the resulting data collection and its public release, and some observations and musings.
