🎙️Slides from our @interspeech.bsky.social tutorial “Speech Technology Meets Early Language Acquisition” (with Emmanuel Dupoux & Okko Räsänen) are now online: zenodo.org/records/1701... We hope they’re useful for anyone interested in connecting speech tech and early language learning!

In Vienna for ACL 2025! 🇦🇹 Come chat about speech, multilinguality, and cognitive modelling : I’ll be at the Apple booth Tuesday 1:30–3:30. #ACL2025NLP

Now that @interspeech.bsky.social registration is open, time for some shameless promo! Sign-up and join our Interspeech tutorial: Speech Technology Meets Early Language Acquisition: How Interdisciplinary Efforts Benefit Both Fields. 🗣️👶 www.interspeech2025.org/tutorials ⬇️ (1/2)

New preprint out! 👇 We adapt the ABX task, commonly used in speech models, to investigate how multilingual text models represent form (language) vs content (meaning). 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2505.17747 🙌 With Jie Chi, Skyler Seto, @maartjeterhoeve.bsky.social, Masha Fedzechkina & Natalie Schluter

New paper out in Cognition! 🎉 This one actually includes some of my (very) early work: my first-ever research project as an undergrad psychology student, now a decade ago. Nice to see it finally in print! 👉 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

🎉 Super happy to announce that a significant part of Marvin Lavechin's and my PhD research on modelling early language acquisition has finally been published in Developmental Science! 📄 doi.org/10.1111/desc... (OS version : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...) 🧵1/7

Amazing opportunity for researchers with cognitive/psychology/linguistics (or related) backgrounds! There is an open position to work as an AIML resident with Apple MLR in Copenhagen, with the great @maartjeterhoeve.bsky.social. Details (topic + deadline) in the 🐦 thread: x.com/maartjeterho...

I've started putting together a starter pack with people working on Speech Technology and Speech Science: go.bsky.app/BQ7mbkA (Self-)nominations welcome!
