📖 #PickoftheWeek @fbk-mt.bsky.social "Accuracy: Community Perspectives on Machine Translation" A cool analysis of the conflicting interests of different communities around MT(AI developers, LSPs, and users) arxiv.org/pdf/2606.09655 #NLP #MachineTranslation #DiverseStakeholders

And last but definitely not least, #GITT2026 's very own @bsavoldi.bsky.social

Speech translation scores well on benchmarks, but is it actually usable when it counts? 🎙️ New paper: Ouvia, a user-centered framework for evaluating speech translation in real-world 1-to-1 communication. 1,700+ interactions, 174 speakers, 3 dialect groups. github.com/g8a9/ouvia #nlp #nlproc

While identity and language need to be renegotiated continously and keep evolving, technology tends to be normativising by default (e.g. reclaiming terms that might automatically get flagged as slurs by tools) #GITT2026

We're excited to share that three papers from our lab have been accepted at #Interspeech2026 !! 🍾 #SpeechTranslation #SpeechAI #NLProc #FBK #Interspeech
