Quality estimation (automated metrics) are amazing. Truly. We would like to use them everywhere. That gets compute-expensive very quickly. We also don't know when they don't know.
In "Early-Exit and Instant Confidence Translation Quality Estimation" (at EACL26) we fix that.
Last week @ecekt.bsky.social gave a great talk on her recent work "Model Merging to Maintain Language-Only Performance in Developmentally Plausible Multimodal Models"!
Thank you so much for joining us, Ece! 🌟

At AI4LT we work with AI 🤖 and speech 🎤 every day. But how does Artificial Intelligence actually work – and how can it generate texts and spoken language?
@maikezufle.bsky.social from our group will explain it in a presentation at the Wörth Library📚.
Wir bei AI4LT arbeiten täglich mit 🤖 KI und 🎤 Sprache. Aber wie funktioniert Künstliche Intelligenz eigentlich – und wie kann sie Texte und gesprochene Sprache erzeugen?
