Dongwook Lee

I am an M.S. student in the Interdisciplinary Program in Artificial Intelligence (IPAI) at Seoul National University, advised by Sungroh Yoon. Previously, I received my B.S. from Seoul National University. My research interests center on speech-language models for natural spoken interaction, with a focus on real-time, human-like agents that can coordinate, interrupt, and continue conversations naturally.

Consecutive translation waits for the sentence to end, so it comes out smooth.
Simultaneous translation cannot wait, so by nature it comes out in choppy pieces.
But there is never only one way to say the same thing. Can we use that freedom to translate as you speak, without the choppiness?
