Our #WMT2025 paper got accepted 🙌 We release a dataset for health low-res MT... and find that Gemini 2.5 beats NLLB 54B, if given full document context. Seeya in Suzhou!

Did you know? ❌77% of language models on @huggingface are not tagged for any language 📈For 95% of languages, most models are multilingual 🚨88% of models with tags are trained on English In a new blog post, @tylerachang and I dig into these trends and why they matter! 👇
@davlanade @SenyuLiReal @alabi_jesujoba Really cool work, the AfriDoc-MT paper in particular is a trove of interesting findings on doc Vs sent level translation in low-res MT

@YasminMoslem @AdaptCentre @tcddublin @Huawei Congrats Yasmin!
@prajdabre1 must be stressful... I'm sure you'll find something good though, smart driven people like you always land on their feet!
@yanmeg_build there's curse in Cursor for a reason
@prajdabre1 @geoffreyhinton @JeffDean @OriolVinyalsML Whoa that's very cool! Didn't think I'd meet Taylor series approximation again in my lifetime
@yanmeg_build Legit good, became aware of the Trudeau resignation through this
@jlibovicky Enjoyed reading this, thanks for sharing!
Our paper on generating bilingual example sentences with LLMs got best paper award @altanlp ! arxiv.org/abs/2410.03182 We work with French / Indonesian / Tetun, find that annotators don't agree about what's a "good example", but that LLMs can align with a specific annotator.
@KushalTatariya @akulmizev @EstherPloeger @mmbollmann @johannesbjerva @heather_nlp @mdlhx @lagom_nlp Really nice paper, definitely saving this as inspiration for work on data quality! For §5, you maybe you'd have seen more correlation btw quality & performance on NLG tasks, instead of NLU? As NLG would suffer from low-quality training data, more than NLU, I think?
@zouharvi Cool work, appreciate the video, and fire poster! Can I ask what you used to design it?
@prajdabre1 @NeurIPSConf Enjoy precious moments with family, congrats to all 3 of you!
@sethjsa @davidstap @diwuNLP @c_monz @illc_amsterdam @ltl_uva Super interesting! In a similar vein, we studied MT using LLMs w sentences from a language manual for Mambai, and found that while scores were decent on test sentences sampled from the manual, it collapsed on sentences translated by a native speaker: aclanthology.org/2024.eurali-1.…
@prajdabre1 So cool Raj! Your mom can now say she's made two significant contributions to the NLP community, research and a researcher
Raphaël Merx retweeted
Translation is a complex task involving pre-translation research and post-translation stages. Can #LLMs handle this process step-by-step, relying solely on their internal knowledge? ✨We show that decomposing the translation process significantly improves #Gemini translation quality of long-form texts across all #WMT24 languages! 📜arxiv.org/pdf/2409.06790
