| Challenge: | Existing textless speech-to-speech translation models have two main challenges: 1) learning cross-modal features and 2) learning alignment of difference languages in long sequences. |
| Approach: | They propose a unit language to overcome two main modeling challenges . they propose task prompt modeling to utilize the unit language in guiding the modeling process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed language improves over a strong baseline and achieves comparable performance to models trained with text. |
