Our work “Can LLMs Really Learn to Translate a Low-Resource Language from One Grammar Book?” is now on arXiv! arxiv.org/abs/2409.19151 - in collaboration with @davidstap, @diwuNLP, @c_monz , and Khalil Sima'an from @illc_amsterdam and @ltl_uva 🧵
MT Marathon this year organised by @HelsinkiNLP was a great week - I presented my research on chain-of-thought for machine translation, worked on a mini-research project, and explored the wonderful city of Helsinki including a few trips to the sauna 🫠

New study finds that prompt engineering has limits 🚫 in #AI #translation. If a large language model has not learned the task, no prompt will make it perform better.

We show that a grammar book provides little or even no help for translation in LLMs, questioning the recent "truly zero-shot translation" --- no data no gain, still 🧐

Our results emphasise the importance of task-appropriate data for XLR languages: parallel data for translation, and grammatical data for linguistic tasks.
Just returned from MT Marathon 2024 in Prague - thanks to @ufal_cuni for organising a great week! Between the insightful talks and collaboration on a mini research project, I presented a poster of my recent work. And of course, we explored the sights of Prague too - in 30°C heat!

The MT Marathon continues on its third day! We already had great talks by @OndrejBojar, @prajdabre1, @zouharvi, and @esalesk 👏 and a poster session with 10 posters 🖼️. Today, we continue with more talks, and of course, the week-long hackathon continues with interesting projects.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by at the #EACL2024 SRW poster session - some great discussions and feedback!
I'll be presenting a poster at #EACL2024 today on my work with @RABawden exploring topic-guided example selection for LLM-based translation. Come along at 2pm or read more here! aclanthology.org/2024.eacl-s…
Thrilled to have picked up a pre-print limited edition signed copy of @pierrenovellie's book at @thebudpod Live! It's tough competition for @PhilNWang's Sidesplitter
