VoiceShop: A Unified Speech-to-Speech Framework for Identity-Preserving Zero-Shot Voice Editing

no code implementations10 Apr 2024 Philip Anastassiou, Zhenyu Tang, Kainan Peng, Dongya Jia, Jiaxin Li, Ming Tu, Yuping Wang, Yuxuan Wang, Mingbo Ma

We present VoiceShop, a novel speech-to-speech framework that can modify multiple attributes of speech, such as age, gender, accent, and speech style, in a single forward pass while preserving the input speaker's timbre.

Simultaneous Translation

no code implementations EMNLP 2020 Liang Huang, Colin Cherry, Mingbo Ma, Naveen Arivazhagan, Zhongjun He

Simultaneous translation, which performs translation concurrently with the source speech, is widely useful in many scenarios such as international conferences, negotiations, press releases, legal proceedings, and medicine.

MAM: Masked Acoustic Modeling for End-to-End Speech-to-Text Translation

no code implementations22 Oct 2020 Junkun Chen, Mingbo Ma, Renjie Zheng, Liang Huang

End-to-end Speech-to-text Translation (E2E-ST), which directly translates source language speech to target language text, is widely useful in practice, but traditional cascaded approaches (ASR+MT) often suffer from error propagation in the pipeline.

Improving Simultaneous Translation by Incorporating Pseudo-References with Fewer Reorderings

no code implementations EMNLP 2021 Junkun Chen, Renjie Zheng, Atsuhito Kita, Mingbo Ma, Liang Huang

Simultaneous translation is vastly different from full-sentence translation, in the sense that it starts translation before the source sentence ends, with only a few words delay.

Fluent and Low-latency Simultaneous Speech-to-Speech Translation with Self-adaptive Training

no code implementations Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020 Renjie Zheng, Mingbo Ma, Baigong Zheng, Kaibo Liu, Jiahong Yuan, Kenneth Church, Liang Huang

Simultaneous speech-to-speech translation is widely useful but extremely challenging, since it needs to generate target-language speech concurrently with the source-language speech, with only a few seconds delay.

Simultaneous Translation Policies: From Fixed to Adaptive

no code implementations ACL 2020 Baigong Zheng, Kaibo Liu, Renjie Zheng, Mingbo Ma, Hairong Liu, Liang Huang

Adaptive policies are better than fixed policies for simultaneous translation, since they can flexibly balance the tradeoff between translation quality and latency based on the current context information.
