Last chance (3 days!) to participate in the refreshed WMT evaluation shared task. Pick any subtask and submit an automatic metric that's aligned with human annotations of translation quality across many languages. www2.statmt.org/wmt26/mteval…

The 2025 MT Evaluation shared task brings together the strengths of the previous Metrics and Quality Estimation tasks under a single, unified evaluation framework. The following tasks are now open (deadline July 31st but participation has never been easier 🙂)

📊 Evaluation: Systems will be ranked on two key metrics: 1️⃣ DeltaCOMET: Primary metric measuring the raw quality improvement over the original MT. 2️⃣ Gain-to-Edit Ratio: DeltaCOMET divided by TER, rewarding systems that are not just effective, but also efficient. #MTeval

Machine Translation is my first and final love. Every single work I do has some flavor of Machine Translation to it. Machine Translation is the best test bed for any sequence to sequence neural architecture. So it's best you read the book on NMT by the OG MT teacher Prof Philipp Koehn of @JHUCompSci. I can't recommend this enough. arxiv.org/abs/1709.07809

📢 Presenting IndicSeamless: A Speech Translation Model for Indian Languages 🎙️🌍 IndicSeamless is a speech translation model fine-tuned from SeamlessM4Tv2-large on 13 Indian languages. Trained on a curated subset of BhasaAnuvaad, the largest open-source Speech Translation dataset for Indian languages and English, this model enhances translation quality across diverse linguistic contexts. 🔹 Why IndicSeamless? Indian languages pose unique challenges in speech translation due to their linguistic diversity, resource limitations, and speech variations. IndicSeamless addresses these challenges by improving accuracy, fluency, and contextual relevance across multiple languages. 🔹 Key Features: ✅ Fine-tuned on a diverse subset of BhasaAnuvaad 🗂️ ✅ Handles spontaneous and read speech effectively 🗣️📖 ✅ Robust to noise variations and diverse accents 🎧 ✅ Optimized for real-world deployment in speech applications 🔹 Resources: 🔗 Demo: huggingface.co/spaces/ai4bha… 🔗 Model: huggingface.co/ai4bharat/ind… 🔗 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.04699 This represents a significant step forward in multilingual speech translation for the Indian subcontinent. Please try out the demo hosted on @huggingface who have kindly allotted us an A100 GPU! Thanks, @reach_vb for the support!
