The latest series of Seamless Communication speech translation models released by Meta can be called a major breakthrough in the field of speech translation. This series includes four models that support real-time speech translation in nearly a hundred languages, with a delay of only about 2 seconds, and can highly restore the tone, speed and other details of the source speech, making the translation effect realistic and natural. Meta's move not only demonstrates its leading position in the field of artificial intelligence, but also brings unprecedented convenience to global communication.
Meta recently released the Seamless Communication series, a new model for speech translation, including 4 models that support real-time speech translation between nearly 100 languages, with a delay control of about 2 seconds. The model can reproduce complex features such as pauses, tone, and speaking speed of the source speech, making the translation more realistic. A non-autoregressive architecture is adopted to support long sequence translation. In addition, Meta has open sourced the model and the largest speech corpus of 585,000 hours, and added functions such as audio watermarking and translation toxicity mitigation to prevent model abuse.
Meta's open source model and massive corpus will greatly promote the development of speech translation technology and promote global information exchange. At the same time, its anti-abuse measures also reflect the sense of responsibility in technology application. We look forward to the Seamless Communication series bringing more surprises in the future.
