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.
Late update, but we had two great talks last month!

Pick of the week @fbk_mt
Super interesting paper on the limitations of quantization, demonstrating how post-training quantization scales poorly in data.

⭐ For our #PickOfTheWeek, this paper explores an important question for modern speech AI:
🎙️ Which Evaluation for Which Speech Model?
👥 Authors: @Maureendss , @EeshanDhekane
Speech foundation models are evolving rapidly, but evaluation practices are still fragmented.
🏝️ Yesterday at #LREC2026, Palma de Mallorca!
@lina_conti presented "Voice, Bias, and Coreference: An Interpretability Study of Gender in Speech Translation" at the poster session.
