At #Interspeech2025 I'm going to present Betthupferl, a dataset for German dialect ASR & dialect-to-standard speech translation! We analyze differences between dialectal & Standard German transcriptions, benchmark ASR models, and examine shortcomings of current ASR models & evaluation metrics.

I’ll be at @icmlconf.bsky.social next week presenting NoLiMa!
Poster on Tue July 15, 4:30–7pm (E-2312).
Happy to grab a coffee and chat about long-context, memory, research, or just to catch up.
I’ll be in Toronto for a couple of days after the conference, let me know if you’re around!

New paper: How does pretraining on programming languages + English shape LLMs' concept space?
🔍 Do LLMs use English or a programming language as a kind of pivot language?
🧠 Are neurons language-specific or shared across programming languages and English?

📄 Collapse of Dense Retrievers
Accepted to #ACL2025 main conference 🎉🎉
In this paper we uncover major vulnerabilities in dense retrievers like Contriever, showing they favor:
📌 Shorter docs
📌 Early positions
📌 Repeated entities
📌 Literal matches
...all while ignoring the answer's presence!

On my way to #NAACL2025 where I'll give a keynote at the noisy text workshop (WNUT), presenting some of the challenges & methods for dialect NLP + also discussing dialect speakers' perspectives!
🗨️ Beyond “noisy” text: How (and why) to process dialect data
🗓️ Saturday, May 3, 9:30–10:30
