| Challenge: | Conventional speech-to-text translation systems are trained on single-speaker utterances, but they may not be applicable to real-life scenarios where the audio contains conversations by multiple speakers. |
| Approach: | They propose a speaker-turn-aware conversational speech translation model that integrates automatic speech recognition, speech translation and speaker turn detection using special tokens in a serialized labeling format. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the reference systems on the multi-speaker condition while attaining comparable performance on the single-speakspeaker conditions. |
