📢 Life update 📢
After a wonderful time at @ai2.bsky.social, I've joined @cislmu.bsky.social at @lmu.de as a tenure-track assistant professor in NLP. Thrilled to be back in Europe and to start a lab in Munich's flourishing AI ecosystem! 🎉

At #Interspeech2025 I'm going to present Betthupferl, a dataset for German dialect ASR & dialect-to-standard speech translation! We analyze differences between dialectal & Standard German transcriptions, benchmark ASR models, and examine shortcomings of current ASR models & evaluation metrics.

New paper: How does pretraining on programming languages + English shape LLMs' concept space?
🔍 Do LLMs use English or a programming language as a kind of pivot language?
🧠 Are neurons language-specific or shared across programming languages and English?

📄 Collapse of Dense Retrievers
Accepted to #ACL2025 main conference 🎉🎉
In this paper we uncover major vulnerabilities in dense retrievers like Contriever, showing they favor:
📌 Shorter docs
📌 Early positions
📌 Repeated entities
📌 Literal matches
...all while ignoring the answer's presence!
