Excited to share 8 papers at #ACL2025 and affiliated venues! 🎉
Our team explored topics including multimodality, cross-lingual transfer, evaluation, decoding, and low-resource languages.
Looking forward to presenting our work and connecting with the community! See you soon! 🤩
🚀 Today marks the official start of the #HorizonEurope DVPS project (dvps.translated.com). Happy that @kit.edu is part of this collaboration with 20 leading AI organizations!
📍 This week we're in Rome for the kickoff meeting. Looking forward to exciting collaborations!

We are presenting works on:
🌐 multilingual & multimodal representations in foundation models aclanthology.org/2025.naacl-s...
🔊 contextual learning for low-resource ASR (LM4UC workshop) aclanthology.org/2025.lm4uc-1.1
We had a great time hosting enthusiastic high schoolers at #GirlsDay2025! We explored #LLM basics, played "Break the AI" games, and shared study abroad opportunities at #KIT.
Thanks @maikezufle.bsky.social for organizing and @kit.edu @girls-day.de for this initiative! 👩💻🌟
The evaluation period has begun for our shared tasks!
The test data is now available on our website, and submissions are due Tuesday April 15! ⏰
Please email task organizers or the google group with any questions 🥳
Just returning from Hannover Messe #HM25, where we had the chance to showcase the KIT Lecture Translator at the Baden-Württemberg Evening Reception.
02.04.2025 09:55 — 👍 9 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0📢 The evaluation period of the Instruction Following task at
@iwslt.bsky.social just started!
🖥️ Consider submitting your speech-to-text system!
The outputs can be easily uploaded on the SPEECHM platform developed in the Meetween project (www.meetween.eu)!
➡️ iwslt2025.speechm.cloud.cyfronet.pl
First up, a new task for 2025:
*Instruction-following for speech processing!*
Explore instruction-following for speech ⇨
Integrate speech foundation models with LLMs across tasks such as speech translation, recognition, summarization, and QA.
🔗: iwslt.org/2025/instruc...
Next up: simultaneous speech translation!
🎯 Goal: to explore ways to translate speech into another language like simultaneous interpreting.
🔗 Link: iwslt.org/2025/simulta...
Today's task: model compression!!
🆕 New at IWSLT! But no less exciting 🔥
🎯 Goal: Compress a large, general-purpose multimodal model, making speech translation more efficient ⚡️, deployable 📲, and sustainable ♻️, while preserving translation quality ⭐️
#AI #SpeechTech #ModelCompression #LLMcompression
Exciting news: IWSLT will be co-located with @aclmeeting.bsky.social 2025 again this year! 🎉
Interested in speech processing? Check out the new task on instruction following — any model can participate! 🚀
📅 Data release: April 1
