Monday, 14 October, 2024 - Breaking the Curse of Multilinguality in Language Models
The talk will focus on examining how current language models capture different languages and uncover how the curse of multilinguality develops during multilingual model training. Building on these insights, I will then present a new method, Multilingual Expert Language Models (X-ELM), that breaks this curse of multilinguality by facilitating more equitable multilingual language modeling.

Monday, 7 October, 2024 - Cognitive insights into analysis of translationese combining product and process data
The talk will be focused on "translationese," which refers to the specific linguistic properties of translation that distinguish it from non-translated language production. While these phenomena have been extensively analyzed in both human and machine translation studies, the driving forces behind translationese effects such as simplification and explicitation remain under-researched.

Understanding, Meaning, and Representations in Large Language Models
Significant in contemporary language processing applications, Large Language Models (LLMs) have become indispensable across diverse domains, ranging from improving chatbot interactions and language translation to code generation and the creation of imaginative content. The question of whether LLMs truly comprehend language has been posed repeatedly, often eliciting a resolute negative response.
