The annual LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ International Advisory Board meeting was a great success! We discussed strategy for the upcoming Evaluation 2025, a Czech-Swiss project proposal, and the future of LLMs & language resources. #LINDAT #CLARIAH_CZ #ResearchInfrastructure #LLM #Interoperability

Our team of 10 is at #MTMarathon2025 in Helsinki 🇫🇮, a week-long meeting of machine translation researchers, developers. ✅ Posters presented ✅ Now working on cool collaborative projects with researchers from around the world. #MachineTranslation #NLP

#ACL2025NLP in Vienna 🇦🇹 starts today with 23 🤯 @ufal-cuni.bsky.social folks presenting their work both at the main conference and workshops. Check out our main conference papers today and on Wednesday 👇

This is going to be fun! 🤓 We have three years to spend 6.5M CZK on improving multilingual tokenization. The goal is to make subwords more alignable across languages and help languages that suffer from over-segmentation with current models.

Good news! 🥳 GAČR will fund two of our projects: 👉 @jlibovicky.bsky.social proposes to better tokenization for #LLMs and machine translation 👉 Veronika Kolářová will study syntactic features of Czech non-verbal predicates ➕ Dominik Macháček receives Postdoc Individual Fellowship! 💪

🚀 The new UD 2.15 models for UDPipe 2 are out! Thanks @straka-milan.bsky.social 💪! 🌍 147 models for 78 languages, with tokenizer, tagger, lemmatizer & dependency parser 📈 16 new treebanks in 6 new languages since the 2.12 release 🔗 lindat.mff.cuni.cz/services/udp... #NLP #UniversalDependencies

Congratulations to @tuetschek.bsky.social 💐🥂🥳🏆👏 for receiving prg.ai 's AI Award 'AI in Research and Development' for his excellent work on Natural Language Generation and Conversational Systems! www.aiawards.cz#results

Today is the Open Doors Day🚪at Matfzy, Charles University. @rur.bsky.social and @zdenekkasner.bsky.social chat with high schoolers about #LLMs and #LanguageTechnology... @rudolf_rosa shows a demo of automatic interpreting 🗣️🎙️🌐 by Dominik Macháček and Ondřej Bojar.

Would you like to develop tools or methods that can support online researchers? Do you have a project idea that could benefit the open source research community? Bellingcat’s Tech Fellowship could be the opportunity to do just that, apply here: www.bellingcat.com/bellingcat-t...
