Our Andrea Piergentili and BeatriceSavoldi presenting the live demo and poster for Gender-Neutral Translation with #LLMs at the DigitalIndustry-FBK Demo Day. 🩷Are you interested? The poster is available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1lTXLaj…


BeatriceSavoldi is presenting our work on Gender-Neutral MT at the #FAIR conference in Naples! 🍕 #NLProc #MT


I’m honestly impressed by the quantity and quality of PhD students at Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK working on #NLProc related topics… we have a very promising new generation of young researchers ready to take the stage #LT2024FBK

Using LLMs as evaluators looks like a very interesting and promising direction, enabling simpler automatic post-editing pipelines. For those interested in fine-grained MT evaluation and APE, I recommend checking out this paper by Lu et al. (2024): arxiv.org/abs/2409.14335 MT Group at FBK

I’m very happy to share that our work “What the Harm? Quantifying the Tangible Impact of Gender Bias in Machine Translation with a Human-centered Study” won the Social Impact Paper Award at EMNLP 2025 🎉 aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-mai…

Brilliant and necessary work by José Maria Pombal 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! 👀

Happy to announce that our paper 'An LLM-as-a-judge Approach for Scalable Gender-Neutral Translation Evaluation' was accepted at #GITT2025! 🙌 Check it out: arxiv.org/abs/2504.11934 🔥 Co-authors (🫶🏻): BeatriceSavoldi, Matteo Negri, Luisa Bentivogli

🚀 New shared task at #WMT2025 (co-located with EMNLP 2025 ): Model Compression for Machine Translation! Can you shrink an LLM and keep translation quality high?🔧 Submit by July 3 and push the limits of efficient NLP! 👉 www2.statmt.org/wmt25/model-co… #NLP #ML #LLM #ModelCompression

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 MT Group at FBK
