We release XVLM2VEC, a Self-Knowledge Distillation method to enhance multilingual embeddings in English-trained LVLMs—boosting French, German, Italian & Spanish! Models, data, benchmarks and code are available. See the paper arxiv.org/abs/2503.09313 #AI #LVLM
🚀 New research on Word Sense Disambiguation & LLMs! We extend the XL-WSD benchmark & test LLMs on two subtasks: definition generation & sense selection. We fine-tuned a mid-size model achieving SOTA performance. 📄 Read more: arxiv.org/abs/2503.08662 #AI #NLP #LLMs #WSD
we are grateful to @SapienzaNLP for the new evaluation suite for 🇮🇹 LLM ITA-Bench iris.uniroma1.it/bitstream/1157… SWAP’s LLaMAntino-ANITA-8B-Inst-DPO-ITA ranks 1st ⤵️
The Proceedings of #CLiCit2024 are now available on the ACL Anthology! @CLiC_it_conf You can find them at the following link: aclanthology.org/volumes/2024.c…
🚀2025 is off to a great start! I just got back from @coling2025 , where I presented my work on effective learning strategies for #LLMs in #HateSpeech research, from #detection to #explanation. 🧵1/6
We've got something🎁 for you: #CLiCit2024 proceedings are out on CEUR! Check them out here: ceur-ws.org/Vol-3878/ Wishing everyone joyful and peaceful Christmas holidays!🎄 @AILC_NLP #NLProc
