🚀 Research intern opening @NAVERLABSEurope (Grenoble, 5–6 months) Topic: enforcing hard constraints in LLMs while preserving quality Looking for: 🎓 PhD (or exceptional MSc) student 🧠 LLMs + PyTorch 📚 RLHF / alignment methods 📍 Onsite only apply → lnkd.in/dPf3DfDd

Congratulations to Dr. @beomseok-lee.bsky.social for defending his thesis yesterday @fbk-mt.bsky.social on 'Multilingual SLU'! Pictured here w/collaborator Ioan Calapodescu & co-supervisor @lbesacier.bsky.social. Welcome to @naverlabseurope.bsky.social alumni ➡️ tinyurl.com/2pcveh6z ☺️

#ALPS2026 is over! 🎉 A week of inspiring talks, poster sessions and great moments! Huge thanks to our speakers: R. Moore, F. Yvon, I. Augenstein, J. Kreutzer, T. Lacroix, C. Ramisch & M. Scholivet! 👏

It was a pleasure to present on LLMs' knowledge conflicts at #ALPS2026! Slides: isabelleaugenstein.github.io/slides/2026_... Also really enjoyed the snowshoeing excursion. Warm recommendation if you're looking to attend a #NLProc winter school! @aicentre.dk @lbesacier.bsky.social

#ALPS2026 is also about shared activities in the beautiful landscapes of the Vanoise.

Two great talks offering different perspectives on Day 1 of #ALPS2026: Roger Moore (Prof. University of Sheffield) on spoken interaction with machines, and Timothée Lacroix (CTO Mistral AI) sharing LLM experience from the field…

It's great to see how the ALPS winter school has progressively established itself in the field. If you're a student in NLP watch lig-alps.imag.fr in Sept to apply for next year before the deadline! This year is a special treat for skiers with all the late snow we keep having ❄️⛷️ Have a great week!

🚀 #ALPS2026 is officially open in the French Alps! A unique winter school combining cutting-edge NLP research with an exceptional setting for collaboration and exchange: 🔹 55 participants from around the world 🔹 77% PhD students 🔹 7 international speakers from Canada, Denmark, France, and the UK

Inference-time scaling is great, but it only works if your model actually explores. RL training — by default — kills that exploration. If you are curious to learn why and what we did about it in about our recent ICLR 2026 paper, check out this 🧵!

🌍 #EACL2026 Committee Spotlight 🌞 Behind every great conference is a dedicated team. From now until the conference starts, each week we’ll highlight the chairs contributing to EACL 2026. This week: Industry, Demo and Sponsorship chairs! 2026.eacl.org/committees/o...

Finally done with my #ICLR2026 reviews! 🎉 Used the full rating scale this time: from 0 (a paper that should’ve been desk-rejected) to 10 (absolutely loved it). Average: 4.4.

The UTTER EU project is wrapping up! At NAVER LABS Europe, we’re proud to have contributed with models like mHuBERT & SPIRE as well as datasets such as ELITR-Bench for long-context LLM evaluation. Discover more in our latest post 👇 europe.naverlabs.com/blog/multimo...

Ma chorale se produit le WE des 27-28 Septembre à la salle Edmond Vigne de Fontaine dans l’agglomération grenobloise. Occasion de venir écouter et voir du chant 🎤mis en scène et chorégraphie 🕺. QR code sur le flyer.

Applications are now open. Deadline: October 12th !

Très heureux d’intervenir à l’école d’été #ETAL2025 à Roscoff (en terre bretonne 🌊) pour un cours d’introduction aux modèles multimodaux pour l’interaction orale. 📚 Matériel : github.com/besacier/ETA...

Je découvre à l'instant que la vuelta (tour d’espagne) passe devant chez moi aujourd’hui à seyssins, près de grenoble… lors d’une étape en provenance... d’italie 🤨

If you are leaving #acl2025 thinking "I wish for a week of time to think what's next", we have you covered: alps.imag.fr Announcing ALPS 2025, our 5th NLP winter school in 🇫🇷 We guarantee great scientific discussions, a fantastic scenery and great speakers:

🚀 A powerful and easy-to-build constrained speech LLM model. For multilingual SQA, we beat Microsoft-Phi and all unconstrained submissions on the SHORT track at IWSLT 2025 instruction-following track! Presented this Thursday at ACL 2025 by myself and @beomseok-lee.bsky.social 🧵👇

Sam Soul sera à Laval-en-Belledonne pour la fête de la musique le 21.6 🎷🎷🎷

As a scientist it should feel like an accomplishment when domain you’ve contributed to nears resolution after years of collective effort. So why many react with frustration refusing to let go of a field that’s essentially become engineering instead of moving on to new challenges?

🛥️ Hier soir, en marge du festival de Cannes, Lauren Sánchez a reçu un prix pour son «plaidoyer pour la justice climatique»… qu’elle est venue récupérer à bord du yacht de 127m de long qu’elle partage avec son fiancé, le patron d'Amazon Jeff Bezos. On vous en dit plus👇

Sam Soul fête ses 10 ans et vous invite à un apéro-concert le samedi 24.5 à 18h au lycée horticole (!) de St-Ismier 🌳 Entrée gratuite!

And we are done! Many tired eyes and lots of insights in today's project presentation (so much stuff done in 5 days!!) + insights from @dirkhovy.bsky.social #ALPS2025

#ALPS2025 lecture #5 was given by Alexandra Birch (University of Edinburgh). Title: “Reasoning and Knowledge in Multilingual Models”!!

#ALPS2025 lecture #4: Dzmitry Bahdanau (ServiceNow Research). Agents and Reasoning !

Yes, although it is April, #ALPS2025 is a truly WINTER school with snow activities etc. ❄️🎿🌨️

Wonderful lecture #3 at #ALPS2025 on Algorithms for text generation by François Yvon who introduced us to the large space of decoding algorithms!

We end day1 of #ALPS2025 with Marzieh Fadaee (Cohere For AI): “Languages as Windows to Human Knowledge: Building Better Language Models Through Global Understanding”

This year at #ALPS2025 we innovate with group mini projects proposed by organisers or participants themselves!

#ALPS2025 first talk: Kyunghyun Cho himself! “Causality gets help from deep learning “

#ALPS2025 day1 kicks off with a poster session!

Still possible to join this shared task !

ALPS 2025, the #NLP winter school in the Alps, kicks off in 2 days! 50 participants from around the world 🌍 7 top speakers, mini-projects, and 3 poster sessions ! Plus: snowy, screen-free fun in Aussois❄️ #ALPS2025 Web: https:/alps.imag.fr

Interesting to see the 20y-old Fisher dataset from 2004 making a strong comeback and being used to build dual-channel conversational speech models !

Welcome to NAVER LABS Europe on Bluesky! We chose 'LABS blue' to kickoff our posts & we'd appreciate it if you could share this one widely tinyurl.com/2nt9jdnv 😊 #hiring #jobs #internships

Sam Soul revient au local à St-Egreve le 15 Mars !

Worried that w/ rise of AI agents conducting multi-step research online (like OpenAI's Deep Research), human-made surveys will quickly lose visibility. We'll soon have a flood of non-opinionated AI-generated surveys that all look the same, marginalizing those created by humans...

C'est la dernière provocation du gouvernement : suspendre toutes les nouvelles missions de Service Civique tant que le budget 2025 n'aura pas été adopté. Ce chantage scandaleux maltraite encore une fois la jeunesse et le secteur associatif, déjà malmenés par 7 ans de macronisme.
