Really excited about our new preprint: https://t.co/2jSoarxjQa
Generating high-quality machine translations can be accelerated by using reference aggregation – a new technique for MBR utility estimation that is in 𝒪(𝑛) instead of 𝒪(𝑛²).

@bindureddy I’m intrigued. Count me in!

Big thanks to my co-authors: @flschottmann and @RicoSennrich!

🔍Looking for some #multilingual #LLM reading for the holidays or just that last minute stocking filler? 🎅

👀Look no further!

Our new #preprint explores what's needed to get your chat LLM speaking languages other than English!

The good news: it's less than you think!

We find that including a small number of finetuning examples from just 1 or 2 non-English languages promotes cross-lingual transfer, improving performance on open-ended generation across multiple target languages!

Thanks to everyone who attended! Great discussions around data and evaluation #EMNLP2023

Are you attending #EMNLP2023 and interested in text simplification and readability?

Here are the papers on these topics that are being presented at the main conference so you don't miss them! (and a couple of relevant BoF sessions, too!)

[Lena S. Bolliger @lsbolliger]

📢 Interested in #eyemovements for #NLP? Or wanna chat about cognitive enhancement and interpretability of #LMs?
💃 Come by our poster on sythesizing human eye movements on Friday at 11! #EMNLP2023

🧐 How well can #LLMs simplify text?
📊 We evaluated 44 LLMs on multiple datasets to find out! Let’s chat about it in poster session 3 on Friday at 4pm #EMNLP2023

👥 Together with my wonderful co-authors Alison Chi @lmvasquezr @swetaagrawal20 @d_aumiller @feralvam @MattShardlow
