The Machine Translation group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler specializes in speech and text technologies for multilingual communication. We work on innovative neural architectures and multimodal resources for a range of topics and applications (e.g. subtitling, interpreting, gender inclusivity). We are part of the Digital Industry center.

Our pick of the week by @beomseok_lee_: "ALAS: Measuring Latent Speech-Text Alignment For Spoken Language Understanding In Multimodal LLMs" by Pooneh Mousavi, @yingzhi_wang, @mirco_ravanelli, and @CemSubakan (2025)
#SLU #speech #multimodal #LLM
Speech-language models show promise in multimodal tasks—but how well are speech & text actually aligned? 🤔
This paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.19937 proposes a new metric to measure layer-wise correlation between the two, with a focus on SLU tasks. 🔍🗣️📄
🔍 Ciao! Stiamo studiando come l'AI viene usata in Italia e per farlo abbiamo costruito un sondaggio!
👉https://bocconi.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2nTelXaXvJlinbg (è anonimo, dura ~10 m, se partecipi o lo diffondi ci aiuti un sacco🙏)
Ci interessa anche raggiungere persone che non si occupano di AI!
Our pick of the week by @apierg: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" by Arjun Subramonian, Vagrant Gautam, Preethi Seshadri, Dietrich Klakow, @kaiwei_chang, @YizhouSun (2025).

Super interesting paper by Subramonian et al: "Agree to Disagree? A Meta-Evaluation of LLM Misgendering" https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.17075
Turns out, misgendering is messier than just pronouns. I'd love to see this analysis extended to grammatical gender languages! #LLM #AI #ethics @fbk_mt
🚀 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 @huggingface 👇
