Belgium not international enough? Fine. Our third and final keynote is none other than @katta.bsky.social from TU Wien 🇦🇹! Their work on Critical Access in Embodied Computing inspires #design and #engineering, ensuring that #technology reflects and supports #diversity - a perfect fit for #GITT2026!
At our last seminar, @maikezufle.bsky.social presented her work on Duplex Models, "Building Controllable Speech Systems"
With @malvinanissim.bsky.social and @vivipatti.bsky.social, we've been teaching ethics in NLP as a hands-on course across Groningen, Pavia & Turin. We wrote up the experience and received the ✨Best Paper Award✨ at #EACL2026's TeachNLP Workshop. Huge thanks to the organizers and all our students!
For our seminars at FBK, last week we had a great talk by @gsarti.com on Interpreting Context Usage in Generative Language Models
🎉 We’re very happy to welcome our new postdoc @lucacorbucci.bsky.social, who will be working on multimodal LLMs.
Looking forward to the exciting research ahead! 🚀
Will #GITT2026 be worth it? If our brilliant keynotes are anything to go by...😉 Introducing @odettes.bsky.social Full Professor of Inclusive Speech Communication at 🇳🇱 Delft University of Technology. Human & automatic speech, combining technical x ethical x societal, just how we like it! Excited yet?
Did someone say 'more international keynotes'? 😉 #GITT2026 will have it all: Introducing Professor Sofie Decock (Ghent University, 🇧🇪), who works on the use and perception of #genderinclusive #language in professional communication, from newspapers to #interpreting

@apierg.bsky.social: gender-inclusive MT
@linaconti.bsky.social: explainable speech translation
@zhihangxie.bsky.social: long-form SpeechLLMs
@uzumakidhairya.bsky.social: resource-efficient translation

Stiamo vivendo una rivoluzione tecnologica, ma quanto conosciamo realmente l'uso dell'IA nella nostra quotidianità? Aiuta a scoprirlo compilando questo breve questionario (10 min): bit.ly/sondaggio_ai...
La ricerca è promossa da membri di Rita e supportata dall'Università Bocconi.
Aiutaci a costruire una fotografia accurata del panorama italiano.

🔍 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!
