Check out our workshop at ACL. RAG is a hot area of research right now, but it is often just text and only English. We have a completely new shared task that is for multilingual videos. Think you can beat everyone else?
📊 Preliminary ranking of WMT 2025 General Machine Translation benchmark is here!
But don't draw conclusions just yet - automatic metrics are biased for techniques like metric as a reward model or MBR. The official human ranking will be part of General MT findings at WMT.

Calling for participants in our workshop on retrieving videos. Large, pre-trained models do poorly on this and there’s a lot of potential to push the field without needing a ton of GPUs.
#NAACL2025 30 April - 2pm, Hall 3, Special Theme
"Faux Polyglots: A study on Information Disparity in Multilingual Large Language Models".
Come visit and learn about how multilingual RALMs fail to handle multilingual information conflicts.

There’s a lot of PhD advisors who are neglecting key parts of their jobs. Your students should NEVER have 100s of words of text on a slide, nor a grainy image of a LaTeX table (bar charts please!) A good talk is now the exception not the norm. It’s all conferences - not just #AAAI2025
Decided last minute to come to #AAAI2025 for the day. Hit me up if you are in Philly.
Dialects lie on continua of (structured) linguistic variation, right? And we can’t collect data for every point on the continuum...🤔
📢 Check out DialUp, a technique to make your MT model robust to the dialect continua of its training languages, including unseen dialects.

We now have a Slack channel for the 2025 Workshop on Multimodal Augmented Generation via Multimodal Retrieval!
This channel will serve as the primary communication method between authors, participants, and organizers: join.slack.com/t/magmarshar...
New Workshop on Multimodal Augmented Generation via MultimodAl Retrieval (MAGMaR) to be held at @aclmeeting.bsky.social ACL in Vienna this summer. We have a new shared task that stumps most LLMs - including ones pretrained on our test collection. nlp.jhu.edu/magmar/
