- Impressive work by the Glitter team: a new human-made benchmark for German gender-inclusive MT with long passages and multiple inclusive approaches + experiments showing that MT systems and LLMs still fall short in generating inclusive outputs. aclanthology.org/2025.finding... ✨
- Reposted by Andrea PiergentiliIt was great having Hosein Mohebbi (@hmohebbi.bsky.social) speak about interpretability for speech Transformers at our #MTSeminars! Thanks for the insights 🎤 #NLP #XAI

- Reposted by Andrea PiergentiliLast but definitely not least: @bsavoldi.bsky.social presenting joint work with @apierg.bsky.social @matteo-negri.bsky.social @luisabentivogli.bsky.social on scalable gender neutral translation evaluation using LLM-as-a-judge at #GITT2025
- Super interesting paper by Subramonian et al: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" arxiv.org/abs/2504.17075 Turns out, misgendering is messier than just pronouns. I'd love to see this analysis extended to grammatical gender languages! #LLM #AI #ethics @fbk-mt.bsky.social

(è anonimo, richiede ~10 minuti, e se partecipi o lo fai girare ci aiuti un sacco🙏) Ci interessa anche raggiungere persone che non si occupano e non sono esperte di AI!

- Brilliant and necessary work by Pombal et al. about metric interference in MT system development and evaluation: arxiv.org/abs/2503.08327 Are we developing better systems or are we just gaming the metrics? And how do we address this? Super (m)interesting! 👀

- Another interesting fact about Bluesky's Italian localization: the website greets new users in an inclusive way by using * instead of gendered morphemes 👀 ...however, it also refers to the user with a masculine term ('iscritto') right after 🤦🏻♂️ Thx @sarapapi.bsky.social for the screenshot!
