As someone who spent years working in multilingual NLP, I am so happy that we're finally seeing (L)LMs and (N)MT systems working in tandem towards the shared cause. The idea in this work is so simple & sweet, and yet it moves! 🌍🌏🌎

Introducing NLLB-LLM2Vec! 🚀

We fuse the NLLB encoder & Llama 3 8B trained w/ LLM2Vec to create NLLB-LLM2Vec which supports cross-lingual NLU in 200+ languages🔥

Joint work w/ Philipp Borchert, @licwu, and @gg42554 during my great research stay at @cambridgeltl

If we align LLMs through preferences, perhaps we should also evaluate them the same way (and respect transitivity)? The answer is: yes, we should. The trick, however, is how to make evaluation tractable. If you are into the whole "LLM-as-Judges" line of work, check this paper!

🔥New paper!📜
Struggle to align LLM evaluators with human judgements?🤔
Introducing PairS🌟: By exploiting transitivity, we push the potential of pairwise preference in efficient ranking evaluations that has better alignment!🧑‍⚖️

Think globally, act locally? Well, we were thought-experimenting whether LLMs would understand people from different places around our hometowns better than we ever might... And then we have eventually decided to make an actual (non-thought) experiment out of these thoughts! 👇👇

Interested in commonsense reasoning in dialectal texts? The DIALECT-COPA shared task is the perfect fit for you, providing train and dev data for four official South-Slavic languages and two out of three related test dialects sites.google.com/view/vardial-2… @vardialworkshop @naaclmeeting
