Welcome to the AI4LT
The "Artificial Intelligence for Language Technologies (AI4LT)" lab at the Institute for Anthropomatics und Robotics (IAR) develops language technology that enable human computer interaction and support human-human interaction using deep learning technology. The lab investigates the research areas: machine translation, speech translation, automatic speech recognition and dialog modelling. The lab is headed by Prof. Dr. Jan Niehues.

The cornerstone of multilingual neural translation is shared representations across languages. In this work, we discretize the encoder output latent space of multilingual models by assigning encoder states to entries in a codebook, which in effect represents source sentences in a new artificial language (Link). Join the presentation on Wednesday, 07.12.2022 at 14:20 GST (11:20 CET) at the Seventh Conference on Machine Translation (WMT 2022).

Pre-trained models are a promising approach to efficiently build speech translation models for many different tasks. Zhaolin Li showed how this models can be used using limited data and computation resources (Link). Join his presentation on Friday, 02.12.2022 between 7:30pm - 8:30pm CET at the Workshop Second Workshop on Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing (ENLSP-II).
The "AI for Language Technologies" was found on 01.03.2022. We are looking foward to exciting reseearch and teaching at KIT.
