Chain-of-Thought prompting shows limited speech awareness in translation systems

A new research paper published on arXiv explores the effectiveness of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting in speech-to-text translation (S2TT) systems. The study found that CoT, when used with cascaded Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Text Translation (T2TT) modules, primarily relies on the transcribed text and shows minimal utilization of actual speech cues. Researchers suggest that architectural changes are needed to better integrate acoustic information for improved S2TT performance. AI

IMPACT Suggests current S2TT architectures may need redesign to better leverage acoustic data for improved translation quality.

    Listening or Reading? Evaluating Speech Awareness in Chain-of-Thought Speech-to-Text Translation

    arXiv:2510.03115v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Speech-to-Text Translation (S2TT) systems built from Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Text Translation (T2TT) modules face two major limitations: error propagation and the inability to exploit prosodic or other aco…
