Who Are We Talking About? Handling Person Names in Speech Translation. (arXiv:2205.06755v1 [cs.CL])

Recent work has shown that systems for speech translation (ST) -- similarly
to automatic speech recognition (ASR) -- poorly handle person names. This
shortcoming does not only lead to errors that can seriously distort the meaning
of the input, but also hinders the adoption of such systems in application
scenarios (like computer-assisted interpreting) where the translation of named
entities, like person names, is crucial. In this paper, we first analyse the
outputs of ASR/ST systems to identify the reasons of …
