✨New paper ✨ Introducing 🌍MultiBLiMP 1.0: A Massively Multilingual Benchmark of Minimal Pairs for Subject-Verb Agreement, covering 101 languages! We present over 125,000 minimal pairs and evaluate 17 LLMs, finding that support is still lacking for many languages. 🧵⬇️

Modern LLMs "speak" hundreds of languages... but do they really? Multilinguality claims are often based on downstream tasks like QA & MT, while *formal* linguistic competence remains hard to gauge in lots of languages Meet MultiBLiMP! (joint work w/ @jumelet.bsky.social & @weissweiler.bsky.social)

Today, UG staff members strike in protest against the cuts to higher education. Staff members will put their work on hold to draw attention to the disastrous consequences. The Board supports the message; they will wear red squares as a sign of protest. Will you join? 🟥 www.rug.nl/about-ug/lat...

I have opened an account for promoting my current research project. If you are interested in migration and language technologies, follow @zubidasoa.bsky.social (Most of the messages will be published in Basque. If needed, in-house MT works fine enough for translating into high resource languages.)

As part of the MT Summit 2025 we are organising the 2nd Workshop on Creative-Text Translation and Technology (to be held 24/06). The deadline for submissions is March 16th. We have excellent keynote speakers! Take a plunge! ctt2025.ccl.kuleuven.be/home
