Our #PickOfTheWeek, selected by @mgaido91: "Alignment Is All You Need: Instruction-Free Training for General Audio-Language Models" by Xuanru Zhou, Yiwen Shao, Jiahong Li, and Dong Yu 🎧

Can instruction-free training power the next generation of audio-language models?

Marco Gaido @mgaido91

Cool to see we are not the only ones working on building SpeechLLMs with instruction-following capabilities without requiring LLM adaptation and instruction-following data that is expensive to collect!

Can algorithmic gender prediction ever be valid?

Check out this week's top pick by @lina_conti: "Algorithmic Gender Prediction Is Illegitimate, But Gender Imputation Can Yield Valid Measurements" by @evandongyx & @ang3linawang.

Lina Conti @lina_conti

Predicting gender from images or names can reveal discrimination. But the practice itself harms trans people. This paper works through when that tradeoff might be justified and how to do it responsibly.
