Two decades of simultaneous translation papers in one repo

What it does Awesome-Simultaneous-Translation is a curated reading list for streaming machine translation, covering both text-to-text and speech-to-text settings. It catalogs papers chronologically from 2002 to 2024, links to standard datasets like WMT and MuST-C, and points to key software such as Fairseq and SimulEval. Think of it as a field guide for research that must emit translations before the input sentence ends.

The interesting bit The list stretches back far enough to capture incremental dependency-parsing approaches from 2006, then walks forward through monotonic attention, prefix-to-prefix frameworks, and end-to-end speech translation. A separate category-sorted index keeps the chronology from turning into an archaeological dig.

Key highlights

• Chronological paper index from 2002 through 2024, with direct PDF links via ACL Anthology and arXiv.
• A separate “Papers by Categories” view for thematic browsing.
• Curated pointers to text, speech, and simultaneous-interpretation datasets.
• Tutorials and talks from EMNLP, AMTA, and PACLIC to help newcomers catch up.
• Explicit coverage of both text-to-text and speech-to-text streaming translation.

Verdict Researchers and engineers entering the real-time translation space should bookmark this; if you need a drop-in streaming model, follow the links to Fairseq or SimulEval instead.
