Attention-Passing Models for Robust and Data-Efficient End-to-End Speech Translation

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that direct speech translation models require more data to perform well and is able to exploit auxiliary training data much more effectively than direct attentional models, and proposes an attention-passing technique that alleviates error propagation issues in a previous formulation of a model with two attention stages.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Self-Attentional Acoustic Models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply self-attention to acoustic modeling, and propose a Gaussian biasing approach that allows explicit control over the context range, and demonstrate that interpretability is a strength of selfattentional acoustic models.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Speech Translation and the End-to-End Promise: Taking Stock of Where We Are.

TL;DR: A unifying categorization and nomenclature that covers both traditional and recent approaches and that may help researchers by highlighting both trade-offs and open research questions is provided.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Neural Lattice-to-Sequence Models for Uncertain Inputs

TL;DR: This work extends the TreeL STM into a LatticeLSTM that is able to consume word lattices, and can be used as encoder in an attentional encoder-decoder model, and integrates lattice posterior scores into this architecture.
