Our pick of the week by Zhihang Xie: "Bridging Speech and Text Foundation Models with ReShape Attention" by かのう𝕏たかとも, William Chen, Shinji Watanabe, et al. (#ICASSP2025) ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10888… #Speech #FoundationModel #SpeechProcessing

Our pick of the week by Marco Gaido: "OpenOmni: Advancing Open-Source Omnimodal Large Language Models with Progressive Multimodal Alignment and Real-Time Self-Aware Emotional Speech Synthesis" by Luo, Ting-En Lin, et al., 2025. #opensource #multimodal #alignment #speech #LLM

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

Yesterday I celebrated #WorldVoiceDay at Università di Torino, sharing some thoughts and highlights from my research on AI and voice. A truly enjoyable event, with inspiring and diverse talks on the many dimensions of voice!


🎉 Excited to share that our Sara Papi has won the 2024 Best PhD Award from the Information and Engineering Doctoral School at UniTrento_DISI for her thesis “Direct Speech Translation in Constrained Contexts: The Simultaneous and Subtitling Scenarios.” #nlproc Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK



🎉 Excited to share our paper “Different Speech Translation Models Encode and Translate Speaker Gender Differently” was accepted at #ACL2025 (main)! ✍🏼 Big thanks to amazing co-authors: Marco Gaido, Matteo Negri, Luisa Bentivogli, Andre Martins, Giuseppe Attanasio! 📄 Preprint out soon!

More great news! 🎉 Our paper “Echoes of Phonetics: Unveiling Relevant Acoustic Cues for ASR via Feature Attribution” was accepted at #Interspeech2025! Interested in interpretability for speech models? Preprint coming soon! ✍🏼 Marco Gaido, Matteo Negri, M.Cettolo, Luisa Bentivogli

Our pick of the week by BeatriceSavoldi: "Lost in Translation: Artificial Intelligence and the Demand for Foreign Language Skills" by Pedro Llanos-Paredes ☀️ and Carl Benedikt Frey (2025) oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/publications/l… #AI #translation #MT

Pick of the week MT Group at FBK: arxiv.org/abs/2505.19606 by Ryan Soh-Eun Shim Domenico De Cristofaro. XAI work on cross-lingual alignment in speech-to-text models that disentangles phonetics and semantics. Plus: their XAI insights yield actionable improvements for low-resource language performance.

🚀 New tech report out! Meet FAMA, our open-science speech foundation model family for both ASR and ST in 🇬🇧 English and 🇮🇹 Italian. The models are live and ready to try on Hugging Face 👇 🔗 huggingface.co/collections/FB… #ASR #ST #OpenScience #MultilingualAI



Our pick of the week by Beomseok LEE: "ALAS: Measuring Latent Speech-Text Alignment For Spoken Language Understanding In Multimodal LLMs" by Pooneh Mousavi, yingzhi wang, Mirco Ravanelli, and Cem Subakan (2025) arxiv.org/abs/2505.19937 #SLU #speech #multimodal #LLM


Findings from ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10669… show that speech SSL models converge on similar embedding spaces, but via different routes. While overall representations align, individual neurons learn distinct localized concepts. Interesting read! MT Group at FBK

Our pick of the week by Dennis Fucci: "Speech Representation Analysis Based on Inter- and Intra-Model Similarities" by Yassine El Kheir, Ahmed Ali, and Shammur Absar Chowdhury (ICASSP Workshops 2024) #speech #speechtech

FAMA è il primo foundation model vocale open-science per ita e eng, sviluppato da FBK. Riconosce e traduce la voce usando solo dati e strumenti pubblici: oltre 150.000 ore di audio open, codice e processi completamente accessibili. fbk_stek MT Group at FBK magazine.fbk.eu/it/news/la-pri…
