To assess whether multilingual NLP performs well across languages, we need to evaluate it on all world languages.That is not feasible.This paper implements two sampling methods from linguistic typology and provides a Python package to facilitate this: doi.org/10.1162/COLI... @andreashhp.bsky.social

In the latest Vision & Language Lab meeting, @akskuchi.bsky.social told us about his new project, which investigates how well multimodal models can identify important moments in videos as well as the effects of including different modalities. Thank you, @akskuchi.bsky.social, for coming to Utrecht!

This week, it was our pleasure to welcome @ilkerkesen.bsky.social, who shared some of his and his group's latest findings with our group. It shows how multimodal learning can help models transcend the boundaries of writing systems. We enjoyed İlker's company and look forward to his future work!
