Excited to see our work presented at EACL 2026!
I sadly won’t make it this year to Rabat, but definitely chat with @zouharvi.bsky.social about Early-Exit COMET if you’re attending. 🏃🏻♀️➡️🚪
Quality estimation (automated metrics) are amazing. Truly. We would like to use them everywhere. That gets compute-expensive very quickly. We also don't know when they don't know.
In "Early-Exit and Instant Confidence Translation Quality Estimation" (at EACL26) we fix that.
Join us at the first ever Speech Translation Metrics Shared Task at IWSLT 2026! ✨✨
It was great seeing you all at EMNLP in Suzhou. 🤗🌆
I presented two papers, check them out if you are interested in
🎤 Speech (summarization) or
📊 MT evaluation with multiple candidates.

I am heading to Suzhou 🌆 for EMNLP, presenting two papers with Fabian Retkowski, @zouharvi.bsky.social and Tu Anh Dinh.
Looking forward to see you at our posters about
🎤 Speech Summarisation (Fri. Nov 7, 14:00-15:30) and
📊 Machine Translation Evaluation (Sat. Nov 8, 11:00-12:00).
Excited to head over to #Suzhou to present 5 papers at #EMNLP2025 and affiliated venues!
Topics include quality estimation and evaluation 👩🔬, speech🗣️, and multilinguality🌐- see you soon! 🤩

@zouharvi.bsky.social and I had fun presenting our poster on efficient reranking for machine translation! Check out our paper with @juliuscheng.bsky.social
aclanthology.org/2025.naacl-l...
Being in a hot air balloon in Albuquerque really makes one ponder *how to efficiently pick the best translation candidate without running expensive evaluation metrics on all of them.*
See you tomorrow at 9:00 in Hall 3 #NAACL2025.
🗓️ Sunday
🎤 (11:40–12:00, NLP4DH): The AI Co-Ethnographer (Fabian Retkowski)
🖼️ (15:30–16:30, LM4UC): Enhance Contextual Learning in ASR for Endangered Low-resource Languages (Zhaolin Li)
🗓️ Friday (9:00–10:30)

We had a great time hosting enthusiastic high schoolers at #GirlsDay2025! We explored #LLM basics, played "Break the AI" games, and shared study abroad opportunities at #KIT.
Thanks @maikezufle.bsky.social for organizing and @kit.edu @girls-day.de for this initiative! 👩💻🌟
Happy to announce that our work "A Bayesian Optimization Approach to Machine Translation" was accepted to NAACL 2025!
Special thanks to @ufal-cuni.bsky.social for organizing MT Marathon 2025 where I was able to team up with @maikezufle.bsky.social and @zouharvi.bsky.social !
