Does your (EU) country attract or lose top researchers? AT, CH attract a lot. FR, DE, BE, ES are open places: as many leave as arrive. IE is a closed system. Italy, there is something very wrong: *very* few come, many go. Plot made with European Research Council (ERC) data.

nice chat me and Ricardo Rei had with Daniel Whitenack about the work we have been doing at Unbabel related to machine translation and machine translation evaluation. check it out!

Improving Machine Translation Evaluation with COMET v2.0 - Say Goodbye to Outdated Metrics! 🌟 With all the hype around GPT-4 is more important than ever to have reliable evaluation metrics and methodologies. That why we are excited to release COMET v2.0: resources.unbabel.com/r-d-blog/intro…

Old-ish news but this paper is *so good*. It does such a thorough and systematic comparison of, like, every conceivable setting you could use for n-best reranking or MBR. Extremely useful for figuring out what actually works.

Excited to share that we've won the prestigious #QualityEstimation shared task at #WMT23 for a 2nd year in a row!🎉 Our winning build was a LLM QE system with 11B parameters -- the largest #QE system ever built. 💪 Check out the win here >> hubs.li/Q021rMgZ0 The Machine Translate Foundation

Steering Large Language Models for Machine Translation with Finetuning and In-Context (virtual poster) with @duartealves Nuno M. Guerreiro @JoãoAlves jose pombal granja Ricardo Rei José G. C. de Souza Andre Martins Do not hesitate to pass by the poster and say hi to Duarte !

🎉 Our great team has just released a much improved Tower! We reach super high performance with TowerInstruct-13B, particularly for MT, outperforming much bigger models and dedicated translation models. Next step: beating GPT-4? 👀 Bonus news: the paper is coming soon! 👨🏻‍🍳

The Chat Shared Task (WMT2024) is live! 💥💥 Happy to announce this year’s Chat Shared Task which aims to translate a corpus composed of genuine bilingual conversations from the customer support domain!

We offer this 1y postdoc to work with us on the UTTER EU project on LLM-based agents ! Come work with us on 1 or several of these topics: i] managing uncertainty and ambiguity ii] improving the use of conversational context iii] ensuring the safety and alignment of LLMs.

I’m super proud to announce that our Tower 🗼 paper was accepted at COLM 24! To celebrate, we are releasing a new version of TowerInstruct based on Mistral 7B: it achieves similar performance to our 13B model, while being almost half the size! COLM Paper: openreview.net/pdf?id=EHPns3h…

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…

Today we release the first EuroLLM paper and models: EuroLLM-1.7B and EuroLLM-1.7B-Instruct! The EuroLLM project will develop open-weight multilingual LLMs that understand and generate text in all official EU languages. Stay tuned for the bigger and stronger EuroLLMs (9B, 22B)!

Super happy with this new product based on our Tower models we have been developing in the last year! Try it out and let us know what you think and what could be improved! wind.ai

Today we release EuroLLM-9B: the best EU-made multilingual LLM of its size! Check the blog post for more info and results: huggingface.co/blog/eurollm-t…. Stay tuned for the technical report and bigger and more powerful models!

🚀 Thrilled to present our QUEST poster at #NeurIPS2024 in Vancouver! 📅 Thursday, Dec 12th | 4:30-7:30 PM PST 📍 East Exhibit Hall A-C #3108 Looking forward to engaging discussions & connecting with fellow researchers! Stop by to learn more about our work. Joint work with
