EviSI is an evidence‑based evaluation agent for low‑latency simultaneous speech‑to‑speech translation. It combines Multidimensional Quality Metrics with interpreter‑developed criteria, using shared source evidence to assess four dimensions—Anchor, Event, Logic, and Fluency—while deduplicating verified errors before scoring. On English‑to‑Chinese and Chinese‑to‑English data, EviSI’s rankings correlate strongly with human judgments, outperforming BLEU and COMET, and its multilingual extension maintains these correlations across five language directions.

Translating wordplay across languages has long challenged both professional translators and machine translation systems. We investigate three approaches to translating puns from English to French by combining large language models with linguistic constraints for wordplay generation.

Agentic-GER is an LLM-based agent designed to improve terminology accuracy in long‑form speech transcription. It leverages global context from the entire transcript to flag suspicious terms, selectively re‑transcribes the source audio to verify candidate corrections, and uses accepted edits to inform future decisions. Experiments on GigaSpeechBench with four LLMs and two ASR systems show consistent terminology improvements in both Chinese and English, achieving up to a 36.8% relative reduction in biased character error rate over the Whisper baseline for Chinese speech.
arXiv:2601. 16217v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models increasingly mediate multilingual professional communication, where useful generation requires adapting to community conventions about which expressions are retained, translated, or mixed.
