Simultaneous interpretation (SI) is a highly complex cognitive task that requires interpreters to process and convey information in real time. One of the most crucial challenges faced by interpreters is the uncertainty in predicting the flow of speech. The introduction of a probabilistic forecasting strategy in SI aims to mitigate this uncertainty, enabling interpreters to anticipate upcoming speech segments more effectively. This strategy, grounded in probability theory, allows for improved accuracy, coherence, and fluency in the interpretation process. By integrating probabilistic models, interpreters can better manage cognitive load, reduce the risk of errors, and enhance overall performance. This approach is particularly relevant in high-pressure settings, such as international conferences and diplomatic negotiations, where accuracy is paramount.
