An Efficient and Effective Online Sentence Segmenter for Simultaneous Interpretation Xiaolin Wang Andrew Finch Masao Utiyama Eiichiro Sumita Advanced Translation Research and Development Promotion Center National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan {xiaolin.wang,andrew.finch,mutiyama,eiichiro.sumita}@nict.go.jp Abstract Simultaneous interpretation is a very challenging application of machine translation in which the input is a stream of words from a speech recognition engine. The key problem is how to segment the stream in an online manner into units suitable for translation. The segmentation process proceeds by calculating a confidence score for each word that indicates the soundness of placing a sentence boundary after it, and then heuristics are employed to determine the position of the boundaries. Multiple variants of the confidence scoring method and segmentation heuristics were studied. Experimental results show that the best performing strategy is not only efficient in terms of average latency per word, but also achieved end-to-end translation quality close to an offline baseline, and close to oracle segmentation. 1 Introduction Simultaneous interpretation performs spoken language translation in a online manner. A spoken language translation system automatically translates text from an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system into another language. Spoken language translation itself is an important application of machine translation (MT) because it takes one of the most natural forms of human communication – speech – as input (Peitz et al., 2011). Simultaneous interpretation is even more demanding than spoken language translation because the processing must occur online. Simultaneous interpretation can bridge the language gap in people’s daily lives transparently because of its ability to respond immediately to users’ speech input. Simultaneous interpretation systems recognize and translate speech at the same time the speakers are speaking, thus the audience can hear the translation and catch the meaning without delay. Potential applications of simultaneous interpretation include interpreting speeches and supporting cross-lingual conversation. This paper is devoted to online sentence segmentation methods for simultaneous interpretation. Simultaneous interpretation systems are normally comprised of ASR systems and MT systems. The output of ASR systems is typically streams of words, but the input to MT systems is normally sentences. Sentence segmenters bridge this gap by segmenting stream of words into sentences. Figure 1 illustrates this process. A number of segmentation methods have been proposed to pipeline ASR and MT, yet most of them require a long context of future words that follow sentence boundaries. In addition, they are often computationally expensive. These shortages make them unattractive for use in simultaneous interpretation. To the best of our knowledge, there are no published ready-to-use online sentence segmenters, and this motivated this paper. The proposed method is crafted in a way that requires little computation and minimum future words in order to achieve efficiency. Also the proposed method is directly optimized against the widely used measurement of translation quality – BLEU (Papineni et al., 2002) – in order to achieve effectiveness. We believe that this work can directly contribute to the development of real-world simultaneous interpretation systems.
