The April 2024 main crawl is out! 🥳🚀📚 With this release we hope to go back to our monthly crawl schedule as opposed to a bi-monthly schedule. Please do let us know if you have any feedback! And happy data crunching! 🧑‍💻

So proud to announce that No Language Left Behind (NLLB) has officially been published by nature—this was years of hard work from a really dedicated group of researchers. I'm also so honored to be a part of the editorial team for this one. LET'S GO TEAM! nature.com/articles/s4158…

It's Doctor Laurie now 😎 I passed my viva with minor corrections! Many thanks to my examiners Benoît Sagot and Peter Bell. Here's my view of the end of the pre-viva talk :)

The EYW returned to Tiree this weekend despite the ferry cancellations. Great to see them keen to tackle some more beach cleaning & we also did a shoreline survey where we found a Red Hamburger Seabean. Thanks for all your efforts folks! SCRA NatureScot

📢Don't waste your last and only chance to submit an abstract to MT Marathon (ufal.cz/mtm24) 🏃! It would be a real shame if you're there with nothing to present, now wouldn't it? 😢

8/39 languages complete 🏁 Vietnamese, Portuguese, & Amharic are all over 1/2 way done! 🎊 German, Indonesian, Sinhala, Turkish, Nepali, Swedish, & others have progress, but will need more help to cross the finish line before our Friday deadline! 🏃 huggingface.co/spaces/argilla…

I am a doc! 🥳 Thank you so much to my amazing supervisors Adam Lopez and antonio vergari ⚔️ not at #ICML2025 who guided me and supported me tirelessly through the PhD!

The MT Marathon continues on its third day! We already had great talks by Ondrej Bojar, @prajdabre1, Vilém Zouhar, and Elizabeth Salesky 👏 and a poster session with 10 posters 🖼️. Today, we continue with more talks, and of course, the week-long hackathon continues with interesting projects.

I had a great time in Prague! 🍦
