New resources for Swiss German dialect: We release 4 text encoder models trained on written Swiss German.
• Blogpost: vamvas.ch/swiss-german-e…

All the models are up on the Hugging Face hub, ready to be downloaded and used: hf.co/models?author=…

how do you evaluate systems that generate non-standardized #dialects ?

Excited to share that I'll join UPenn as an Assistant Professor next fall! I couldn't be more grateful to all the mentors and collaborators for their support along the way!

I'm looking for motivated students👩‍🎓to join my lab! If you love robots 🤖 and learning, look no further!

🎙️honored to have had the opportunity to speak at this fantastic workshop on linguistic variation 💚. it was a pleasure to be part of this engageing event! 🤩 a big thank you 🙏 to the amazing organizers for putting together this incredible gathering! #NLProc

While previous work mainly studied multi-agent interaction in controlled environments and state observations, Andrea Bajcsy and I were interested in seeing what happens when deploying 'in the wild' with only camera observations. We find that constraints bring about creativity!

I will present our #ACL2023 poster on exploiting biased models for gender-fair rewriting tomorrow at 11:00!

come by if you're interested in how such models can be trained for non-English languages ✨

shoot Samuel Läubli or me a message if you want to discuss anything related 😊

Congratulations to Chantal Amrhein , who just successfully defended her PhD on 'Manipulating Data Representations for Neural Machine Translation'!

I have an open position for a PhD student at the University of Zurich. Come work with me on sign language machine translation! jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen…

Happy to share that my Ph.D. thesis on Agile Vision-Based Flight has been published by
@Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR)! 🌟 I've tried to summarize all the lessons I've learned over 5 years to unlock agile and vision-based flight. 📷 🚁✨

Super excited to share that my internship project at Textshuttle is accepted to #ACL2023NLP ! ✨

We create training data for gender-fair rewriting without any rules - only by exploiting biased MT models:

🔍 Seeking participants for a study on Audio-Visual Information in Speech Communication!

We need Native English speaking mothers with babies aged 6-8 months. Sessions will take place in Oerlikon, Zürich, and will last between 60-90 minutes. Running from March 23. Please RT.

All eyes on California now! Solidarity w/ #FairUCNow striking against labor exploitation in the UC system! We, precarious academics in Switzerland, are w you! Have u been on an international exchange there & witnessed how domestic grad students were treated? Share ur testimonial!

We train a robot 🐕 to traverse complex terrains with a monocular RGB camera from its own real-world experience!
To do so we propose Cross-Modal Supervision (CMS), an algorithm to supervise vision using proprioception.

after ~3 months in the us, today i have some troubles understanding what is supposed to be just for halloween 🎃 and what not 👻

i'm grateful to my parents, who supported me in getting published on page 1 of the WSJ - by giving me a name with a non-ASCII character 😂

🌎 i‘m very excited to visit Gašper Beguš and the Berkeley Speech & Computation for 6 months to learn more about speech processing!lesson 1: 🐳 have dialects too 😁

Honored to receive the Georges Giralt PhD Award 🥇 (awarded to Europe's best thesis in Robotics 🤖) for my work on #learning vision-based high-speed #drone flight ✈️! Thanks to Davide Scaramuzza for the great supervision and all my collaborators! Thesis: tinyurl.com/yc33b73b
University of Zurich

i really enjoyed the opportunity to share my work with the LITHME network! thanks for the invitation LITHME
