A Practical Evaluation Method for Long-Form Simultaneous Speech-to-Speech Translation
Two new research papers propose advancements in simultaneous speech translation (SST). The first paper introduces a practical evaluation method for long-form SimulS2ST, addressing limitations in existing approaches by enabling sentence-level latency and quality metrics. The second paper presents RASST, a retrieval-augmented system that improves terminology accuracy and overall translation quality by integrating retrieval mechanisms into speech large language models for incremental generation.
