New preprint! 
In this work led by María Andrea Cruz Blandón during her internship at Apple, and with the help of Jie Chi and Zakaria Aldeneh, we show that visual grounding helps reduce the multilingual gap present in self-supervised speech models. arxiv.org/abs/2509.17523

New preprint out! 👇 We adapt the ABX task, commonly used in speech models, to investigate how multilingual text models represent form (language) vs content (meaning). 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2505.17747 🙌 With Jie Chi, Skyler Seto, @maartjeterhoeve.bsky.social, Masha Fedzechkina & Natalie Schluter

New paper out in Cognition! 🎉 This one actually includes some of my (very) early work: my first-ever research project as an undergrad psychology student, now a decade ago. Nice to see it finally in print! 👉 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
