arXiv:2606. 17255v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This work describes the participation of the MLLP-VRAIN research group in the shared task of the IWSLT 2026 Simultaneous Speech Translation track.
arXiv:2608. 04586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved significant success in speech-to-text translation (S2TT).

Current speech translation systems, including SpeechLLMs, are trained on cleaned text and tend to strip disfluencies like filled pauses and false starts rather than translate them. We show this comes at a cost: disfluencies carry meaning that gets lost when speech is cleaned up.
arXiv:2606. 03618v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-assisted coding agents are bottlenecked by input-token cost.
We describe AlignAtt4LLM, an IWSLT 2026 simultaneous speech translation system for English to German, Italian, and Chinese. The system is a synchronous cascade: Qwen3-ASR with forced alignment produces an incrementally updated source transcript, and Gemma-4 E4B-it translates that prefix under an MT-side AlignAtt policy.
arXiv:2606. 03957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational ASR for lower-resource languages and niche domains is limited by the scarcity of domain-matched multi-speaker training data.
arXiv:2606. 01016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While End-to-End (E2E) Speech-Large Language Models (Speech-LLMs) are rapidly evolving, their evaluation methodologies remain limited to the era of simple transcription.
arXiv:2605. 19266v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are typically optimized for verbatim transcription, which preserves disfluencies, filler words, and informal spoken structures that are often unsuitable for downstream writing-oriented applications.
arXiv:2606. 03967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We describe AlignAtt4LLM, an IWSLT 2026 simultaneous speech translation system for English to German, Italian, and Chinese.
arXiv:2508. 10875v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) are rapidly emerging as a powerful and promising alternative to the dominant autoregressive (AR) paradigm.
arXiv:2607. 20086v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: State-space sequence models are attractive for streaming speech because they maintain compact recurrent state, but scan-style training kernels can have unfavorable constants for short audio tasks.
arXiv:2607. 09957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This report studies on-device English-to-Traditional-Chinese subtitle translation for Taiwan under short inputs, short outputs, batch-size-one inference, low latency, and privacy constraints.
