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 "Mädchen". 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/🧵

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:

AI Killed My Job: Translators - by Brian Merchant

https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/ai-killed-my-job-translators

> Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.
