    🎉We’re happy to welcome our new research engineer, Yiu Chung Leung, joining us to work on multimodal LLMs with a focus on speech. Excited for what’s ahead! 🚀

    With @MalvinaNissim and @VivianaPatti, we've been teaching ethics in NLP as a hands-on course across Groningen, Pavia & Turin. We wrote up the experience and received the ✨Best Paper Award✨ at #EACL2026's TeachNLP Workshop. Huge thanks to the organizers and all our students!
