Brilliant, I just discovered that Mastodon's #translation feature automatically translates the alt text, too.
This feature opens up a whole new world for me. I can follow people whose language I wouldn't otherwise be able to decipher. A place where machine translations are helpful.
#machineTranslation #languages #connection #Mastodon #altText
Oups, I nearly forgot to present our own poster... Luckily, Tiziana Ilie, M.A. student and first author on this project, did a grand job presenting our work on how DeepL deals with pronomial pickups of the hybrid noun "M盲dchen". For this study, we used the #OpenSource model OLMo-2-7B to generate our experimental stimuli. Our abstract is here: https://paths.to/m%C3%A4dchen-poster and we will have a preprint out soon so watch this space...
It was a busy and lively poster session with presenters ranging from M.A. students to professors (check out the full list: https://sfb1252.github.io/llm-workshop/#poster-presentations), lots of discussions on the use of #LLMs for #linguistics research fulled by copious quantities of coffee and tray-fulls of cup cakes! We now take a short break before continuing the conversations over dinner. 5/馃У

This thread makes me so sad:

The goal of open source should be to empower people, not to make them feel like they have no agency and their work doesn't matter.
Pretty poor.
Also #machinetranslation without enough consulation.
For those who came in late, the thread has the details of its introduction for other languages as shown here:
