Happy to share that our work on evaluating tokenizers has been accepted to #ACL2025! This is one of two projects I worked on during my internship @Apple.

@zouharvi SacreMetricX soon @markuseful ?

[Vilém Zouhar @zouharvi]

Have you recently used COMET for MT evaluation? ☄️

- Did you report the specific model? ≥12% of papers don't!
- Did you report the package version? Makes a difference.
- `pip install sacrecomet` generates a nice version+model signature. Not too late for WMT/EMNLP camera-ready!

A new 🆕 approach from @Google mimics the human translation process, incorporating research, 🧐 drafting, ✍️ and iterative 🔄 refinement in the #LLM translation process and promises better #translation quality.

Don't believe the numbers until you are able to reproduce them!

Great to see the Translation API in action!

[Klemens 🦆 Art of Fauna @klemensstrasser]

Finishing up the #iOS18 update of @StudySnacksApp by adding support for the new Translation API! 🌐

The app will detect if you create a language learning list and translate the vocabularies for you automatically while you type. 🥳

🥳 LLMs are changing the game, even for datasets! NewsPaLM, a publicly released LLM-generated dataset, outperforms larger web-crawled corpora for MT. It includes sentence & paragraph-level, MBR-decoded data. See paper for more, incl. LLM self-distillation. https://t.co/iqtiGD2gE1

I will soon be hiring PhDs/postdocs for a new university lab in Germany! If you have strong CL/NLP skills and are interested in modeling implicit/underspecified language, misunderstandings, or commonsense vs. individual background knowledge, let's connect. Please DM me or RT! :)

Big achievement and an important milestone! 🏆
Happy to see that my wife’s work on the success rate of intensive #aphasia therapy has been finally published in the Journal of Neurology! 🧠
Congratulations! 🚀

[Dorothea Peitz @DoroPeitz]

After presenting preliminary results of our research at #gabtagung_2023, #AoA2023 and @BasAphasia conference 2021, I am thrilled to announce that our paper is out now: https://t.co/Sv03ACfPu1

Excuse me internet, we now have a German adaptation of https://t.co/ykaNxvcdcO thanks to Lena Werner, @DoroPeitz and Katja Hußmann 🇩🇪🥳
This provides a free option to *self manage* therapy tasks for German speakers with #aphasia

[Dorothea Peitz @DoroPeitz]

Would not have been possible without the wonderful work by @JohnPierce85 Thanks so much!

[Eleftherios Avramidis @lefterav]

Help us break LLMs! The test suite sub-task will be included for the sixth time in the General MT Shared Task of the Conference on Machine Translation (WMT24). This year's theme is to reveal weaknesses of LLMs when translating #LLMs #EMNLP #NLProc| https://t.co/FwFpXfnIv0

[Markus Freitag @markuseful]

We're looking for a final-year PhD intern passionate about working on automatic metrics for machine translation and NLP in Mountain View. If interested, please send an email to me and @_danieldeutsch.

The ideal candidate should have experience working on automatic evaluation and be familiar with metrics like Metric-X, COMET, BLEURT and human evaluation frameworks like MQM.
