Abstract: Using Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) as model initialization is now common to obtain strong results in Speech Translation (ST). However, they also impose a large memory footprint, hindering on-device deployment. In this paper, we leverage the SSL models by pretraining smaller models on their Discrete Speech Units (DSU). We pretrain encoder-decoder models on 1) Filterbank-to-DSU and 2) DSU-to-Translation data, and take the encoder from 1) and the decoder from 2) to initialise a new model, finetuning …
