Previous works investigated\nthe extreme case where source language transcription is not available during\nlearning nor decoding, but we also study a midway case where source language\ntranscription is available at training time only. In this case, a single model\nis trained to decode source speech into target text in a single pass.\nExperimental results show that it is possible to train compact and efficient\nend-to-end speech translation models in this setup. We also distribute the\ncorpus and hope that our speech translation baseline on this corpus will be\nchallenged in the future.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1802.04200v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.04200v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"end-to-end-automatic-speech-translation-of","repo_url":"https://github.com/alicank/Translation-Augmented-LibriSpeech-Corpus","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"unanswered"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"speech-to-text","task_name":"Speech-to-Text"},{"task_slug":"speech-to-text-translation","task_name":"Speech-to-Text Translation"},{"task_slug":"translation","task_name":"Translation"},{"task_slug":"automatic-speech-translation","task_name":"automatic-speech-translation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/1802.04200","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1802.04200","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
