🚀 Call for Participation: @iwslt Subtitling 2026 Turn speech into ready-to-watch subtitles 🎬 across TV, News & YouTube! 📅 Evaluation: Apr 1–15 iwslt.org/2026/subtitling #IWSLT2026 #SpeechAI #MultimodalAI

At our last MT seminar, we had Jacqueline Rowe from @EdinburghUni presenting her work "Beyond Benchmarks? Measuring Gender Bias in Multilingual LLMs"

🎓Today we attended the @FBK_research PhD Day, and our amazing students presented their research lines: @apierg: gender-inclusive translation @lina_conti: explainable speech translation @FBKZhihangXie: long-form SpeechLLMs @dhairya_su47605: resource-efficient translation

Great seminar last week at @fbk_mt by Alessandra Teresa Cignarella (@ale_t_cig): "6,000 Papers, One New Dataset, and Several Confused LLMs: A Story About Stereotype Detection in NLP"!

Super interesting paper by Subramonian et al: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" arxiv.org/abs/2504.17075 Turns out, misgendering is messier than just pronouns. I'd love to see this analysis extended to grammatical gender languages! #LLM #AI #ethics @fbk_mt

@zmprcp Great work, congrats :)

@apierg Thank you, Andrea!

Brilliant and necessary work by @zmprcp et al. about metric interference in MT system development and evaluation: arxiv.org/abs/2503.08327 Are we developing better systems or are we just gaming the metrics? And how do we address this? Super (m)interesting! 👀
