NoDaLiDa x Baltic-HLT 2025 is a wrap! Thank you all for joining for a fruitful conference! Safe trip home and see you in Copenhagen or Vilnius in 2027!! #nlp #nodalida #baltichlt

WebFAQ: Massive Multilingual Q&A Dataset - 96M QA pairs extracted from schema.org/FAQPage annotations - 75 languages with standardized structured markup - Leverages existing web publisher content intent - No synthetic data generation needed huggingface.co/datasets/PaD...

🚀 Thank you all for waiting! The full program of NoDaLiDa x Baltic-HLT is online: www.nodalida-bhlt2025.eu/program #nodalida #baltichlt #nlp #nlproc

⚫⚪ It's coming...SHADES. ⚪⚫ The first ever resource of multilingual, multicultural, and multigeographical stereotypes, built to support nuanced LLM evaluation and bias mitigation. We have been working on this around the world for almost **4 years** and I am thrilled to share it with you all soon.

Some new evaluation results from the European evaluation benchmark ScandEval! This time of the new o3-mini model by OpenAI - how well does it compare to the existing gpt-4o model on English tasks? (1/4) #nlp #evaluation #reasoning #llm #o3

Recently, we got a lot of new ScandEval evaluations of large LLMs, including the 405B Llama-3.1 model. So how well does it perform? A 🧵 (1/n) #llm #evaluation

Introducing Scandi-fine-web-cleaner, a decoder model trained to remove low-quality web from FineWeb 2 for Danish and Swedish - Uses FineWeb-c community annotations - 90%+ precision + minimal compute required - Enables efficient filtering of 43M+ documents huggingface.co/davanstrien/...

Brugerdrevet faktatjek kan betyde, at minoriteters interesser bliver overset, advarer ITU-lektor @lrossi.bsky.social. Påstande om fx grønlandske forhold risikerer at undslippe faktatjek, simpelthen fordi der er få grønlandske brugere i forhold til andre grupper. www.berlingske.dk/kultur/faceb...

It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need! #DigitalEU

"Each task consumed approximately 1,785 kWh of energy—about the same amount of electricity an average U.S. household uses in two months" This is one per-task estimate from Salesforce's head of sustainability -->> www.linkedin.com/posts/bgamaz...

I'm so impressed with the markview #Neovim plugin. Look at the preview you get out of the box: github.com/OXY2DEV/mark...

TII UAE's Falcon 3 1B, 3B, 7B, 10B (Base + Instruct) & 7B Mamba, trained on 14 trillion tokens! - 1B-Base surpasses SmolLM2-1.7B and matches gemma-2-2b - 3B-Base outperforms larger models like Llama-3.1-8B and Minitron-4B-Base - 7B-Base is on par with Qwen2.5-7B in the under-9B category

40,7% med hjælp fra 15 annotators! 🇩🇰😎🔥 Vi er kommet langt men ikke helt i mål endnu :) Det drejer sig virkelig ikke om mange annoteringer efterhånden. Drømmer lidt om at vi kan få en lille slutspurt i løbet af ugen! Hjælp til her: data-is-better-together-fineweb-c.hf.space/dataset/5a58...

Loving this Neovim plugin ❄️ Source: github.com/marcussimons...

Dansk er gået fra 0.1% -> 12.3% i dag! Det svarer til at 123 tekster er annoteret af 3 personer. Enhver annotering hjælper os med det første mål på 1000 tekster :) Hjælp med til at annotere datasættet her: data-is-better-together-fineweb-c.hf.space/dataset/5a58... #dkai

Vil du hjælpe med at forbedre kvaliteten af danske sprogmodeller? Vær med til at hjælpe i annoteringssprintet! Det kræver ingen erfaring - bare gå ind på linket og begynd med annotering:) huggingface.co/spaces/data-... #dkai #dktech Længere opslag på LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/rasgaa...

Announcing 🥂 FineWeb2: A sparkling update with 1000s of 🗣️languages. We applied the same data-driven approach that led to SOTA English performance in🍷 FineWeb to thousands of languages. 🥂 FineWeb2 has 8TB of compressed text data and outperforms other datasets.

*** New ScandEval evaluation *** EuroLLM is a new series of European models, trained from scratch! They released both base and instruct models. The base models can be used commercially, but the instruction models can't be, due to use of OpenAI outputs. But how do they perform? #nlp #evaluation

Is MMLU Western-centric? 🤔 As part of a massive cross-institutional collaboration: 🗽Find MMLU is heavily overfit to western culture 🔍 Professional annotation of cultural sensitivity data 🌍 Release improved Global-MMLU 42 languages 📜 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2412.03304 📂 Data: hf.co/datasets/Coh...

*** New ScandEval evaluation *** Neural Magic released a new sparse version of the Llama-3.1-8B model, which pruned half of all linear operators in the model. They recover the performance of the original model. But as always, there's no free lunch. (1/3) #nlp #evaluation #llm

Just learned about @andrewyng.bsky.social's new tool, aisuite (github.com/andrewyng/ai...) and wanted to share! It's a standardized wrapper around chat completions that lets you easily switch between querying different LLM providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, HuggingFace, Ollama, etc.

** New ScandEval evaluations ** IBM has recently released their Granite-3.0-1B model series, both base and instruct versions. Results among all Germanic languages (smaller is better): Gemma-2b: 3.65 SmolLM2-1.7B: 3.76 Qwen-1.5-1.8B: 3.86 Llama-3.2-1B: 3.88 Granite-3.0-1B-base: 4.04 #nlp #llm

Had a great time at sprogteknologisk konference today! 😊 I gave a talk on evaluation of generative language models, as well as covering our evaluation framework ScandEval, as part of the EU Horizon project TrustLLM. Here are my slides: filedn.com/lRBwPhPxgV74... #dkai #nlp

*** New Model on ScandEval *** New Danish LLM from the NLP North Lab, SnakModel, based on Llama-2-7b. Danish results (lower is better): - NLPnorth/snakmodel-7b-base: 3.60 - NLPnorth/snakmodel-7b-instruct: 2.59 For reference, Llama-2-7b achieves 3.08. Leaderboards: scandeval.com #dkai #nlp

Garak had a great week after moving from leondz/garak to github.com/NVIDIA/garak: * Top 5 on Hackernews * +1.2K stars * Github trending for three straight days * Discord size swole by +50% * News coverage in many languages * Video + podcast mentions Can't imagine the impact real PR will have! ☺️
