Learning to translate in real-time with neural machine translation

J Gu, G Neubig, K Cho, VOK Li - arxiv preprint arxiv:1610.00388, 2016 - arxiv.org
Translating in real-time, aka simultaneous translation, outputs translation words before the
input sentence ends, which is a challenging problem for conventional machine translation …

Can neural machine translation do simultaneous translation?

K Cho, M Esipova - arxiv preprint arxiv:1606.02012, 2016 - arxiv.org
We investigate the potential of attention-based neural machine translation in simultaneous
translation. We introduce a novel decoding algorithm, called simultaneous greedy decoding …

Incremental decoding and training methods for simultaneous translation in neural machine translation

F Dalvi, N Durrani, H Sajjad, S Vogel - arxiv preprint arxiv:1806.03661, 2018 - arxiv.org
We address the problem of simultaneous translation by modifying the Neural MT decoder to
operate with dynamically built encoder and attention. We propose a tunable agent which …

Efficient wait-k models for simultaneous machine translation

M Elbayad, L Besacier, J Verbeek - arxiv preprint arxiv:2005.08595, 2020 - arxiv.org
Simultaneous machine translation consists in starting output generation before the entire
input sequence is available. Wait-k decoders offer a simple but efficient approach for this …

Simpler and faster learning of adaptive policies for simultaneous translation

B Zheng, R Zheng, M Ma, L Huang - arxiv preprint arxiv:1909.01559, 2019 - arxiv.org
Simultaneous translation is widely useful but remains challenging. Previous work falls into
two main categories:(a) fixed-latency policies such as Ma et al.(2019) and (b) adaptive …

Transllama: Llm-based simultaneous translation system

R Koshkin, K Sudoh, S Nakamura - arxiv preprint arxiv:2402.04636, 2024 - arxiv.org
Decoder-only large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated impressive
capabilities in text generation and reasoning. Nonetheless, they have limited applications in …

Simultaneous translation policies: From fixed to adaptive

B Zheng, K Liu, R Zheng, M Ma, H Liu… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
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 …

Simultaneous translation with flexible policy via restricted imitation learning

B Zheng, R Zheng, M Ma, L Huang - arxiv preprint arxiv:1906.01135, 2019 - arxiv.org
Simultaneous translation is widely useful but remains one of the most difficult tasks in NLP.
Previous work either uses fixed-latency policies, or train a complicated two-staged model …
