The Language Technology Highlights 2024 (LT@FBK2024) is organised to bring together scientists, students, practitioners, and enthusiasts who are interested in language technologies and want to know more about the recent research achievements at FBK on this topic.
This one-day event will take place at FBK premises in Povo (TN) in Sala Stringa on 2 October 2024 from 9am to 5pm. It will showcase an invited keynote and a series of oral and poster presentations. This year, we are excited to feature twelve oral presentations of papers accepted at top-tier LT venues (*ACL and EMNLP). We will also have a dedicated session where each LT unit will discuss core activities, which will provide interesting insights into future progress of the field.
The Speech Tech Lab group will present 3 papers supported by Meetween, Eloquence and FAIR:
