Abstract

Presented herein are embodiments of a prefix-to-prefix framework for simultaneous translation that implicitly learns to anticipates in a single translation. Within these frameworks are effective 'wait-k' policy model embodiments that may be trained to generate a target sentence concurrently with a source sentence but lag behind by a predefined number of words. Embodiments of the prefix-to-prefix framework achieve low latency and better quality when compared to full-sentence translation in four directions: Chinese↔English and German↔English. Also presented herein is a novel latency metric that addresses deficiencies of previous latency metrics.
