JUMAS addresses the need to build an infrastructure able to optimise the information workflow in order to facilitate later analysis. New models and techniques for representing and automatically extracting the embedded semantics derived from multiple data sources will be developed. The most important goal of the JUMAS system is to collect, enrich and share multimedia documents annotated with embedded semantic minimising manual transcription activity. JUMAS is tailored at managing situations in which multiple cameras and audio sources are used to record assemblies in which people debates and event sequences need to be semantically reconstructed for future consultations. The prototype of JUMAS will be tested interworking with legacy systems, but the system can be viewed as able to support business processes and problem-solving in a variety of domains.
Our #PickOfTheWeek 📚: “Training Dynamics Impact Post-Training Quantization Robustness” by @actatjer, @n_ajroldi, @jonasgeiping
Pick of the week @fbk_mt
Cool paper on how robustness to quantization in LLMs is also impacted by training conditions, instead of just the number of training tokens!

Our #PickOfTheWeek 📚: “High-Fidelity Simultaneous Speech-To-Speech Translation” by @t0m1ab, @lmazare, @EXGRV, @ptrkprz, @honualx and @neilzegh
🎙️➡️🌍 This work shows how a full-duplex SpeechLLM architecture can be adapted for simultaneous S2ST and S2TT.
Can LLM Agents Learn how to behave According to your preferences?
PersonaAgent is a framework that combines personalized memory and tool use to help LLM agents adapt their actions to individual users without fine-tuning the underlying model.
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?
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!
