• Abstract: Medical dictation systems are essential tools in modern healthcare, enabling accurate and efficient conversion of speech into written medical documentation. The main objective of this paper is to create a domain-specific system for Greek medical speech transcriptions. The ultimate goal is to assist healthcare professionals by reducing the overload of manual documentation and improving workflow efficiency. Towards this goal, we develop a system that combines automatic speech recognition techniques with text correction model, allowing better handling of domain-specific terminology and linguistic variations in Greek. Our approach leverages both acoustic and textual modeling to create more realistic and reliable transcriptions. We focused on adapting existing language and speech technologies to the Greek medical context, addressing challenges such as complex medical terminology and linguistic inconsistencies. Through domain-specific fine-tuning, our system achieves more accurate and coherent transcriptions, contributing to the development of practical language technologies for the Greek healthcare sector.

  Medical dialogue generation aims to generate responses according to a history of dialogue turns between doctors and patients. Unlike open-domain dialogue generation, this requires background knowledge specific to the medical domain. We propose a novel framework to improve medical dialogue generation by considering features centered on domain-specific terminology.

  Expert-layman text style transfer technologies have the potential to improve communication between scientific communities and the general public.

This is a particularly notable issue in the medical domain, where layman are often confused by medical text online.

• Bridging the Modality Gap for Speech-to-Text Translation [57.47099674461832]
  End-to-end speech translation aims to translate speech in one language into text in another language via an end-to-end way. Most existing methods employ an encoder-decoder structure with a single encoder to learn acoustic representation and semantic information simultaneously. We propose a Speech-to-Text Adaptation for Speech Translation model which aims to improve the end-to-end model performance by bridging the modality gap between speech and text.
