System Description on Automatic Simultaneous Translation Workshop

Abstract

This paper describes our system submitted on the third automatic simultaneous translation workshop at NAACL2022. We participate in the Chinese audio->English text direction of Chinese-to-English translation. Our speech-to-text system is a pipeline system, in which we resort to rhymological features for audio split, ASRT model for speech recoginition, STACL model for streaming text translation. To translate streaming text, we use wait-k policy trained to generate the target sentence concurrently with the source sentence, but always k words behind. We propose a competitive simultaneous translation system and rank 3rd in the audio input track. The code will release soon.
