How do Multimodal Foundation Models Encode Text and Speech? An Analysis of Cross-Lingual and Cross-Modal Representations

no code implementations26 Nov 2024 Hyunji Lee, Danni Liu, Supriti Sinhamahapatra, Jan Niehues

Multimodal foundation models aim to create a unified representation space that abstracts away from surface features like language syntax or modality differences.

Optimizing Rare Word Accuracy in Direct Speech Translation with a Retrieval-and-Demonstration Approach

1 code implementation13 Sep 2024 Siqi Li, Danni Liu, Jan Niehues

To leverage these valuable resources, we propose a retrieval-and-demonstration approach to enhance rare word translation accuracy in direct ST models.

Speech Editing -- a Summary

no code implementations24 Jul 2024 Tobias Kässmann, Yining Liu, Danni Liu

With the rise of video production and social media, speech editing has become crucial for creators to address issues like mispronunciations, missing words, or stuttering in audio recordings.

Blending LLMs into Cascaded Speech Translation: KIT's Offline Speech Translation System for IWSLT 2024

no code implementations24 Jun 2024 Sai Koneru, Thai-Binh Nguyen, Ngoc-Quan Pham, Danni Liu, Zhaolin Li, Alexander Waibel, Jan Niehues

Firstly, we refine the ASR outputs by utilizing the N-best lists generated by our system and fine-tuning the LLM to predict the transcript accurately.

Learning an Artificial Language for Knowledge-Sharing in Multilingual Translation

1 code implementation2 Nov 2022 Danni Liu, Jan Niehues

In this work, we discretize the encoder output latent space of multilingual models by assigning encoder states to entries in a codebook, which in effect represents source sentences in a new artificial language.

Tackling data scarcity in speech translation using zero-shot multilingual machine translation techniques

1 code implementation26 Jan 2022 Tu Anh Dinh, Danni Liu, Jan Niehues

We investigate whether these ideas can be applied to speech translation, by building ST models trained on speech transcription and text translation data.

Cost-Effective Training in Low-Resource Neural Machine Translation

no code implementations14 Jan 2022 Sai Koneru, Danni Liu, Jan Niehues

Although AL is shown to be helpful with large budgets, it is not enough to build high-quality translation systems in these low-resource conditions.

Direct Simultaneous Speech-to-Speech Translation with Variational Monotonic Multihead Attention

no code implementations15 Oct 2021 Xutai Ma, Hongyu Gong, Danni Liu, Ann Lee, Yun Tang, Peng-Jen Chen, Wei-Ning Hsu, Phillip Koehn, Juan Pino

We present a direct simultaneous speech-to-speech translation (Simul-S2ST) model, Furthermore, the generation of translation is independent from intermediate text representations.

Improving Zero-Shot Translation by Disentangling Positional Information

1 code implementation ACL 2021 Danni Liu, Jan Niehues, James Cross, Francisco Guzmán, Xian Li

The difficulty of generalizing to new translation directions suggests the model representations are highly specific to those language pairs seen in training.

Adapting End-to-End Speech Recognition for Readable Subtitles

1 code implementation WS 2020 Danni Liu, Jan Niehues, Gerasimos Spanakis

The experiments show that with limited data far less than needed for training a model from scratch, we can adapt a Transformer-based ASR model to incorporate both transcription and compression capabilities.
