| Challenge: | Language models are a key step to achieve state-of-the-art results in many different Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a language model that is pre-trained on a large and heterogeneous French corpus to train continuous word representations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on a large and heterogeneous French corpus. |
Lightweight Adapter Tuning for Multilingual Speech Translation (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Adapter tuning is an efficient alternative to fine-tuning in NLP . a multilingual model could be outperformed by its bilingual counterparts . |
| Approach: | They propose to use adapter tuning to optimize for multilingual speech translation . they use pre-trained models to freeze pre-train parameters and inject lightweight modules . |
| Outcome: | The proposed adapters can specialize to specific language pairs with low extra cost . the proposed models outperform bilingual models on high-resource language pairs . |
Dual-decoder Transformer for Joint Automatic Speech Recognition and Multilingual Speech Translation (2020.coling-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for automatic speech recognition and multilingual speech translation are on par with cascade counterparts. |
| Approach: | They propose a dual-decoder Transformer architecture that performs automatic speech recognition and multilingual speech translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform the previously-reported highest translation performance in multilingual settings and bilingual one-to-one results. |
