Last oral session of the first #clicit2025 day! See you all at the welcome drink!

I’m the guest 🙋🏻‍♀️

🚀 Excited to present FAMA, the first large-scale #OpenScience #Speech foundation model for 🇮🇹 Italian & 🇬🇧 English, at #clicit2025 (17:30–18:45 oral session)! 🔗 Models: hf.co/collections/... 📊 Data: hf.co/datasets/FBK... 💻 Code: github.com/hlt-mt/FBK-f... 📄 Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.22759

@sarapapi.bsky.social presented her TACL paper: “How real is your real-time simultaneous speech-to-text translation system?” 👉 aclanthology.org/2025.tacl-1.14/ (2/6)

🔥 Is your real-time SimulST system REAL? Our TACL paper analyzes 110 works and reveals: 🚫 Overreliance on short-form speech 🌀 Terminology chaos 📉 Real-world deployment gaps We bring order-New taxonomy, trends & recommendations! 📍#ACL2025 Poster: Monday 11-12:30, Hall 4/5 #Speech #SpeechTech

🔍 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!

🚀 New tech report out! Meet FAMA, our open-science speech foundation model family for both ASR and ST in 🇬🇧 English and 🇮🇹 Italian. The models are live and ready to try on @hf.co: 🔗 huggingface.co/collections/... 📄 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2505.22759 #ASR #ST #OpenScience #MultilingualAI

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL or ICML and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/...

I am honored to have received this award today! 🎊

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 🥳

📢 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

I'm thrilled to be one of the speakers at the next MT Marathon in Helsinki 🚀 I look forward to sharing insights on automatic translation and related topics with our community!

Glad to see that the model weights of the new Step-Audio, a speech foundation model + large language model (+ speech decoder) architecture, are published under open licenses! 🆓 arxiv.org/abs/2502.11946

As if you needed more reasons to submit to #GITT2025: 🔑🎵 Cristina Anselmi, video game #localization & #AI expert with a focus on #inclusive #language will be our keynote speaker! 💸Registration fees are on the MTSummit website and you can register just for GITT if you so choose 😎 👀 See you there! 👀

I'm happy to share that our paper "Prepending or Cross-Attention for Speech-to-Text? An Empirical Comparison" has been accepted at @naaclmeeting.bsky.social 2025! #NAACL2025 @mgaido91.bsky.social 👏 📃 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2501.02370 ⏰ Code will be released soon #NLProc #Speech
