Multilingual Speech Translation with Efficient Finetuning of Pretrained Models

2020 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We present a simple yet effective approach to build multilingual speech-to-text (ST) translation by efficient transfer learning from pretrained speech encoder and text decoder. Our key finding is that a minimalistic LNA (LayerNorm and Attention) …

No Language Left Behind: Scaling Human-Centered Machine Translation

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Driven by the goal of eradicating language barriers on a global scale, machine translation has solidified itself as a key focus of artificial intelligence research today. However, such efforts have coalesced around a small subset …
