There are two interleaved high-level goals for the EXCITEMENT project. The first is to set up, for the first time, a generic architecture and a comprehensive implementation for a multilingual textual inference platform and to make it available to the scientific and technological communities. The second goal of the project is to develop a new generation of inference-based industrial text exploration applications for customer interactions, which enables businesses to better analyze and make sense of their diverse and often unpredicted client content. These goals were be achieved for three languages, i.e. English, German and Italian, and for three customer interaction channels, i.e. speech (transcriptions), email and social media.
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.

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.

Cool to see a work that adaptively chooses at inference how much to compress the input speech sequence, to control inference costs and quality based on the input, without enforcing a global trade-off to each segment: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.31247
