[0051] Step 1: Collect training data, and use the transcription-translation data pair in the training data to train the MT model;

[0052] Step 2: Use the shrinking mechanism to compress the input length of the ST model, so that the output lengths of the coding layers of speech and text are approximately the same, including: firstly using the CTC loss to help the ST model predict the transcription of the speech, and capture the acoustic information of the speech; then use the CTC loss. The existing peak phenomenon removes redundant information in the coding layer state of the ST model;

Abstract

The present invention provides a training method and system for obtaining a better speech translation model in generative confrontation. The method includes collecting training data, using the transcription-translation data in the training data to train the MT model; using the contraction mechanism to compress the input length of the ST model, so that the output length of the coding layer of speech and text is approximately the same, including: first adopting CTC The loss helps the ST model to predict the transcription of the speech and capture the acoustic information of the speech; then use the peak phenomenon of the CTC to remove the redundant information in the state of the ST model coding layer; use the adversarial device to make the coding of the ST model The layer output distribution fits the encoding layer output distribution of the MT model, helping the ST model capture more semantic information; the CTC loss is used as an additional loss, and the entire speech translation model is jointly trained in combination with the end-to-end ST model loss. The invention can improve the recognition performance of the speech translation model, and further improve the speech translation efficiency and quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of speech translation, in particular to a training method, system, and speech translation method and device for obtaining a better speech translation model in generative confrontation. Background technique [0002] Voice translation refers to inputting speech in one language and outputting text in another language. The traditional speech translation system adopts a cascade method, that is, the speech is first transcribed by an ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition, speech recognition) system, and then the transcribed result is input into the MT (Machine Translation, machine translation) system for translation. This kind of system can use more data to train the ASR and MT systems separately, and obtain an ST (Speech Translation, speech translation) system with higher translation quality, so the cascaded ST system has been widely used for many years. [0003] The end-to-end system skips the intermediate t...
