🎉 Terminology Shared Task @WMT25: Paper Out 🎉 Highlights: - sentence translation seems solvable, document translation is still challenging - better systems benefit more from proper terminologies - term-based metrics correlate poorly with general translation quality www2.statmt.org/wmt25/pdf/20...

Upcoming panel discussion on Nov 12 moderated by our @tevuko.bsky.social: What Does and What Should AI Know? More info and registration link: www.ema.uzh.ch/de/register/...

🚨New Preprint! In multilingual models, the same meaning can take far more tokens in some languages, penalizing users of underrepresented languages with worse performance and higher API costs. Our Parity-aware BPE algorithm is a step toward addressing this issue: 🧵
