OpenSTBench is a multidimensional evaluation toolkit for speech translation. It is designed for heterogeneous systems, including speech-to-text translation (S2TT), speech-to-speech translation (S2ST), offline systems, and streaming systems.

The toolkit organizes evaluation into three dimensions:

- **Translation Quality**: whether the translated text preserves the source meaning.
- **Speech Quality**: whether generated speech is natural, text-consistent, speaker-preserving, emotion-preserving, and faithful to non-verbal or paralinguistic events.
- **Temporal Quality**: whether generated speech preserves duration structure and, for streaming systems, whether output is responsive.

## Installation

```bash
pip install OpenSTBench
```

For local development:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/sjtuayj/OpenSTBench.git
cd OpenSTBench
conda create -n openstbench python=3.10 -y
conda activate openstbench
pip install -e .
```

Optional extras:

```bash
pip install "OpenSTBench[comet]"
pip install "OpenSTBench[whisper]"
pip install "OpenSTBench[speech_quality]"
pip install "OpenSTBench[emotion]"
pip install "OpenSTBench[paralinguistics]"
pip install "OpenSTBench[metricx]"
pip install "OpenSTBench[all]"
```

MetricX follows the official `google-research/metricx` runtime requirements. Installing
`OpenSTBench[metricx]` or `OpenSTBench[all]` pins the MetricX-compatible stack,
including `transformers[torch]==4.30.2`, `sentencepiece==0.1.99`,
`datasets==2.13.1`, `protobuf==3.20.3`, and `accelerate>=0.26.0`.

BLEURT is installed separately:

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/lucadiliello/bleurt-pytorch.git
```

## Package Names

- PyPI package: `OpenSTBench`
- Python import: `openstbench`

## Evaluation Dimensions

| Dimension | Evaluator | System type | Main outputs |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Translation Quality | `TranslationEvaluator` | S2TT, S2ST text or generated speech | `sacreBLEU`, `chrF++`, `COMET`, `BLEURT`, `MetricX`, `MetricX_QE`, and their `ASR_` variants |
| Speech Quality | `SpeechQualityEvaluator` | S2ST | `UTMOS`, `WER_Consistency`, `CER_Consistency` |
| Speech Quality | `SpeakerSimilarityEvaluator` | S2ST | `average_wavlm_large_similarity`, `average_resemblyzer_similarity` |
| Speech Quality | `EmotionEvaluator` | S2ST | `Emotion2Vec_Cosine_Similarity`, `Audio_Emotion_Accuracy` |
| Speech Quality | `ParalinguisticEvaluator` | S2ST | `Acoustic_Event_Count_F1`, `Acoustic_Event_Localization_F1`, `Acoustic_Event_Onset_Error` |
| Temporal Quality | `TemporalConsistencyEvaluator` | S2ST | `Duration_Consistency_SLC_0.2`, `Duration_Consistency_SLC_0.4` |
| Temporal Quality | `LatencyEvaluator` | Streaming S2TT/S2ST | `First_Audio_Delay_(StartOffset_ms)`, `Overall_Translation_Delay_(ATD_ms)`, `End_Action_Delay_(CustomATD_ms)`, `Real_Time_Factor_(RTF)` |

Offline and streaming are supported system settings, not separate metric dimensions. Use the evaluators that match the available outputs: text, generated speech, source/target audio pairs, event annotations, or streaming traces.

## Experimental Overview

The radar plot below illustrates the multidimensional view produced by OpenSTBench for representative streaming and offline speech translation systems. It summarizes how systems can differ across translation quality, speech quality, and temporal quality: a system with strong translation quality may still show different behavior in speech realization, speaker or emotion preservation, paralinguistic fidelity, temporal consistency, and latency or efficiency.

## Quick Start

```python
from openstbench import TranslationEvaluator

evaluator = TranslationEvaluator(
    use_bleu=True,
    use_chrf=True,
    use_comet=False,
    use_bleurt=False,
    use_metricx=True,
    device="cuda",
)

scores = evaluator.evaluate_all(
    reference=["我喜欢看电影。", "今天天气很好。"],
    target_text=["我喜欢看电影。", "今天天气很好。"],
    source=["I like watching movies.", "The weather is nice today."],
    target_lang="zh",
    asr_text=["我喜欢看电影。", "今天天气很好。"],
)

print(scores)
```

ASR translation-quality evaluation is enabled by default and runs only when
`target_audio` or precomputed `asr_text` is supplied. To transcribe generated
speech directly, pass a file, a list of files, or a directory as
`target_audio`; Whisper defaults to `medium` and can be changed with
`TranslationEvaluator(whisper_model="large-v3")`. Set `use_asr=False` to
disable every `ASR_` metric.

## Examples

Complete parameter templates are kept in `examples/`. The README intentionally stays compact; use these files for configurable parameters, input formats, and output fields.

- `examples/python/translation_eval.py`
- `examples/python/speech_quality_eval.py`
- `examples/python/speaker_similarity_eval.py`
- `examples/python/emotion_eval.py`
- `examples/python/paralinguistic_eval.py`
- `examples/python/paralinguistic_identity_baseline.py`
- `examples/python/temporal_consistency_eval.py`
- `examples/python/latency_eval.py`
- `examples/bash/install_extras.sh`
- `examples/bash/run_latency_cli.sh`

Latency can also be run from the module CLI:

```bash
python -m openstbench.latency.cli --help
```

## Conventions

- Text inputs generally accept `list[str]`, one-sample-per-line `.txt` files, and `.json` files where supported by the evaluator.
- Audio inputs generally accept folders, `list[str]`, `.txt` path lists, and `.json` path lists where supported by the evaluator.
- For `zh`, `ja`, and `ko`, speech consistency reports `CER_Consistency`; other languages report `WER_Consistency`.
- Evaluators that accept pretrained model sources use a local-first rule. If the supplied local path exists, OpenSTBench uses it; otherwise it falls back to the configured remote model id.
- Optional dependencies are loaded only when the corresponding evaluator needs them.
- MetricX is enabled by default in `TranslationEvaluator`. It follows the official google-research/metricx README, uses text only, reports error scores in `[0, 25]` where lower is better, and can be disabled with `use_metricx=False`.
- `TranslationEvaluator` also enables ASR variants by default. With `target_audio`, Whisper transcribes the generated speech before the same enabled translation metrics are applied; with `asr_text`, the supplied transcript is used directly. Calls without either input preserve the text-only behavior.
