📑 Our CoT2EL paper will be presented as an oral at #EMNLP2025 in Suzhou!
Humans often disagree on labels. Can a model's own reasoning (CoT) help us understand why? We developed a new method to extract these insights. Come join us!
🗓️ Friday, Nov 7, 14:00 - 15:30

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.
