Dear colleague,
We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology
webinar series organized by the HiTZ Chair of AI< (https://hitz.eus).
You can view the videos of previous webinars and the schedule for
upcoming webinars here: http://www.hitz.eus/webinars
Next webinar:
*Speaker: *Emanuele Bugliarello (Google DeepMind)
*Title: *Towards Inclusive Multimodal AI
*Date: *Thursday, April 3, 2025 - 15:00 CET
*Summary: *Visual assistants are becoming ubiquitous, yet their
effectiveness varies drastically across languages and cultures. This
talk presents an overview of the critical issue of multicultural
disparity in image–text models. We'll explore this gap through three
lenses: evaluation, training, and generation. First, I'll introduce
benchmarks like MaRVL designed to quantify multilingual and
multicultural competence. Next, we'll delve into techniques for
mitigating these disparities in model training. Finally, we'll examine
the emerging challenges and opportunities in multicultural visual
generation.
*Bio: *Emanuele Bugliarello is a research scientist at Google DeepMind
based in Grenoble, France where he works on improving evaluation and
capabilities of multimodal generative models. He completed his PhD in
the NLP Section at the University of Copenhagen, while spending time at
DeepMind, Google, Mila and Spotify. Previously, he studied computer and
communication sciences at EPFL, Tongji University and Politecnico di Torino.
