SimulMT to SimulST: Adapting simultaneous text translation to end-to-end simultaneous speech translation

Xutai Ma, Juan Pino, Philipp Koehn

Keywords:

Abstract: We investigate how to adapt simultaneous text translation methods such as wait-k and monotonic multihead attention to end-to-end simultaneous speech translation by introducing a pre-decision module. A detailed analysis is provided on the latency-quality trade-offs of combining fixed and flexible pre-decision with fixed and flexible policies. We also design a novel computation-aware latency metric, adapted from Average Lagging.
