Super proud of the work of José Maria Pombal in Tower! He just started his PhD on MT and MT evaluation along with me and Andre Martins! Give him a follow to get updates on what’s to come!

Really cool work from Antonio Farinhas Haau-Sing Li 李 效丞 and Andre Martins which set some theoretical ground to explain why MBR and spending more during inference actually improves quality.

The good news continue 🥳 We are delighted that Tower has been selected as a oral spotlight presentation at Conference on Language Modeling (top 2% of submissions)! Check out our paper here: openreview.net/pdf?id=EHPns3h…


Researchers from industry and academia have released EuroLLM, the first #LLM that supports all #EU languages 🇪🇺 and several additional languages 🌍 and excels 🚀 at machine #translation. slator.com/first-large-la… Pedro Martins Manuel Faysse Andre Martins Ricardo Rei

Me and Nuno M. Guerreiro will be giving a keynote at WMT this Friday at 14:00 about why research on MT is still fascinating in the era of LLMs! Don’t miss it!





3) We have another poster in the main conference, “QUEST: Quality-Aware Metropolis-Hastings Sampling for Machine Translation” with Gonçalo Faria Sweta Agrawal Antonio Farinhas Ricardo Rei José G. C. de Souza (Thursday Dec 12 16:30-19:30).




Good to see European Commission promoting OS LLMs in Europe. However (1) "OpenEuroLLM" is appropriating a name (#EuroLLM) which already exists, (2) it is certainly *not* the "first family of open-source LLMs covering all EU languages" 🧵
