FACILE

Dec 1, 1995 | Projects

1 December 1995 to 30 November 1997 - PROJECT CLOSED

The FACILE project aimed at the development of a system for the categorisation of texts from the area of finance and business news in an exact and specific way. The intended users of the system were institutions from finance and commerce that have a vital interest in up-to-date business information stemming from online news agencies and periodicals. An important consideration in FACILE has been its use across country and language borders. The possibility to process texts in various languages and to derive factual information in a language independent, formatted form allowed for the rapid dissemination of information across borders.

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

Zhihang Xie @FBKZhihangXie

🚀 New paper: Speech-XL for long-form SpeechLLMs
📄 https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.05373
🧩 Uses Speech Summarization Tokens to compress local speech intervals into compact KV states efficiently.
✨ Improves long-form speech understanding while reducing memory and FLOPs on 10-minute audio.

Last week, we had a great talk for our MT Seminar Series!
@julius_gulius a PhD from @cambridgenlp presented a talk on "Effective uses of grammatical knowledge in extremely low-resource Machine Translation"
