OmnilingualGAIA2: Evaluating the Multilingual Gap in Frontier AI Agents
Andrea Caciolai, Pere-Lluís Huguet Cabot, Chierh Cheng +11
Agentic benchmarks aim to measure how well AI agents plan, search, execute, and recover within realistic multi-tool environments, but they are almost exclusively in English. As AI…
TextSeal: A Localized LLM Watermark for Provenance & Distillation Protection
Tom Sander, Hongyan Chang, Tomáš Souček +10
We introduce TextSeal, a state-of-the-art watermark for large language models. Building on Gumbel-max sampling, TextSeal introduces dual-key generation to restore output diversity,…
Omnilingual SONAR: Cross-Lingual and Cross-Modal Sentence Embeddings Bridging Massively Multilingual Text and Speech
Omnilingual SONAR Team, João Maria Janeiro, Pere-Lluís Huguet Cabot +17
Cross-lingual sentence encoders typically cover only a few hundred languages and often trade downstream quality for stronger alignment, limiting their adoption. We introduce OmniSO…
Omnilingual MT: Machine Translation for 1,600 Languages
Omnilingual MT Team, Belen Alastruey, Niyati Bafna +29
High-quality machine translation (MT) can scale to hundreds of languages, setting a high bar for multilingual systems. However, compared to the world's 7,000 languages, current sys…
Omnilingual ASR: Open-Source Multilingual Speech Recognition for 1600+ Languages
Omnilingual ASR team, Gil Keren, Artyom Kozhevnikov +30
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has advanced in high-resource languages, but most of the world's 7,000+ languages remain unsupported, leaving thousands of long-tail languages be…
Seamless Interaction: Dyadic Audiovisual Motion Modeling and Large-Scale Dataset
Vasu Agrawal, Akinniyi Akinyemi, Kathryn Alvero +81
Human communication involves a complex interplay of verbal and nonverbal signals, essential for conveying meaning and achieving interpersonal goals. To develop socially intelligent…
BOUQuET: dataset, Benchmark and Open initiative for Universal Quality Evaluation in Translation
The Omnilingual MT Team, Pierre Andrews, Mikel Artetxe +14
BOUQuET is a multi-way, multicentric and multi-register/domain dataset and benchmark, and a broader collaborative initiative. This dataset is handcrafted in 8 non-English languages…
2M-BELEBELE: Highly Multilingual Speech and American Sign Language Comprehension Dataset
Marta R. Costa-jussà, Bokai Yu, Pierre Andrews +7
We introduce the first highly multilingual speech and American Sign Language (ASL) comprehension dataset by extending BELEBELE. Our dataset covers 74 spoken languages at the inters…
Large Concept Models: Language Modeling in a Sentence Representation Space
LCM team, Loïc Barrault, Paul-Ambroise Duquenne +18
LLMs have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence and have emerged as the de-facto tool for many tasks. The current established technology of LLMs is to process input a…
Y-NQ: English-Yorùbá Evaluation dataset for Open-Book Reading Comprehension and Text Generation
Marta R. Costa-jussà, Joy Chen, Ifeoluwanimi Adebara +3
The purpose of this work is to share an English-Yorùbá evaluation dataset for open-book reading comprehension and text generation to assess the performance of models both in a high…
LCFO: Long Context and Long Form Output Dataset and Benchmarking
Marta R. Costa-jussà, Pierre Andrews, Mariano Coria Meglioli +10
This paper presents the Long Context and Form Output (LCFO) benchmark, a novel evaluation framework for assessing gradual summarization and summary expansion capabilities across di…
Comment on 'Attosecond electron microscopy and diffraction'
P. Baum, C. Ropers
A recent paper by Hui et al. (Ref. [1], Sci. Adv. 10, eadp5805 (2024)) claims the demonstration of 'Attosecond electron microscopy and diffraction' with laser-gated electron pulses…
On the Role of Speech Data in Reducing Toxicity Detection Bias
Samuel J. Bell, Mariano Coria Meglioli, Megan Richards +6
Text toxicity detection systems exhibit significant biases, producing disproportionate rates of false positives on samples mentioning demographic groups. But what about toxicity de…
Linguini: A benchmark for language-agnostic linguistic reasoning
Eduardo Sánchez, Belen Alastruey, Christophe Ropers +3
We propose a new benchmark to measure a language model's linguistic reasoning skills without relying on pre-existing language-specific knowledge. The test covers 894 questions grou…
FuxiTranyu: A Multilingual Large Language Model Trained with Balanced Data
Haoran Sun, Renren Jin, Shaoyang Xu +10
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated prowess in a wide range of tasks. However, many LLMs exhibit significant performance discrepancies between high- and low-resource lan…
Towards Massive Multilingual Holistic Bias
Xiaoqing Ellen Tan, Prangthip Hansanti, Carleigh Wood +3
In the current landscape of automatic language generation, there is a need to understand, evaluate, and mitigate demographic biases as existing models are becoming increasingly mul…
Towards Red Teaming in Multimodal and Multilingual Translation
Christophe Ropers, David Dale, Prangthip Hansanti +9
Assessing performance in Natural Language Processing is becoming increasingly complex. One particular challenge is the potential for evaluation datasets to overlap with training da…
MuTox: Universal MUltilingual Audio-based TOXicity Dataset and Zero-shot Detector
Marta R. Costa-jussà, Mariano Coria Meglioli, Pierre Andrews +6
