At our last MT seminar, we had @jacquelinerowe.bsky.social from @edinburghuni.bsky.social presenting her work "Beyond Benchmarks? Measuring Gender Bias in Multilingual LLMs"

🎓 Today we attended the FBK PhD Day, and our amazing students presented their research lines:
@apierg.bsky.social: gender-inclusive MT
@linaconti.bsky.social: explainable speech translation
@zhihangxie.bsky.social: long-form SpeechLLMs
@uzumakidhairya.bsky.social: resource-efficient translation
