Do LLMs Need Architectural Changes for Simultaneous Speech Translation? A Prefix-to-Prefix Data Driven Approach

Simultaneous speech translation (SimulST) requires incremental translation under strict latency constraints, yet remains challenging for decoder-only LLM systems due to limited context and cross-lingual reordering. Recent approaches often introduce architectural changes or explicit read/write policies to control output timing, which can be brittle in conversational speech where segmentation boundaries are ambiguous. We present a simple data-driven alternative: fixed-length chunks for cumulative…
