- Findings from ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/106... show that speech SSL models converge on similar embedding spaces, but via different routes. While overall representations align, individual neurons learn distinct localized concepts. Interesting read! @fbk-mt.bsky.social
- Reposted by Dennis Fucci🔍 Stiamo studiando come l'AI viene usata in Italia e per farlo abbiamo costruito un sondaggio! 👉 bit.ly/sondaggio_ai... (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!
- More great news! 🎉 Our paper “Echoes of Phonetics: Unveiling Relevant Acoustic Cues for ASR via Feature Attribution” has been accepted at #Interspeech2025! If you’re interested in interpretability for speech models, stay tuned, the preprint is coming soon!
- Co-authored with: @mgaido91.bsky.social, @matteo-negri.bsky.social, @mcettolo.bsky.social, @luisabentivogli.bsky.social
- So happy our paper “Different Speech Translation Models Encode and Translate Speaker Gender Differently” was accepted at #ACL2025 (main)! 🎉 The preprint will be out soon! #SpeechTranslation #GenderBias #Interpretability @aclmeeting.bsky.social
- Big thanks to amazing co-authors: @mgaido91.bsky.social, @matteo-negri.bsky.social, @luisabentivogli.bsky.social, @andre-t-martins.bsky.social, @gattanasio.cc!

- Had a great time visiting @milanlp.bsky.social last week and sharing some of my latest work on #XAI in #SpeechTranslation! Thanks for having me! 😊
- 📖For this Friday's @milanlp.bsky.social lab seminar, it was a pleasure to have @dennisfucci.bsky.social presenting "Through the Lens of Explainability: Understanding Gender Bias in Speech Translation". #NLProc
- As someone investigating how speech models use acoustic-related info, it’s great to see more work on evaluating whether prosodic features are leveraged in speech translation, like in aclanthology.org/2024.wmt-1.1.... We definitely need more research in this space! @fbk-mt.bsky.social
