It was great seeing everyone again at the last Unidive General Meeting in Bucharest! Jacob Lee Suchardt presented a poster about his EMNLP 2025 paper on the Transcription of Unseen Languages with Speech-to-IPA Models, and we celebrated the past four years of UniDive and all the friends we made.

We hope to see the UniDivers again soon in other settings 😊 Fun fact: the old town of Bucharest has been called the Lipscani District since the 17th century, because most of the wares sold on the high street at the time originated from Leipzig!

Yesterday we had @anja.re from Technion visiting us to give a talk on Interpretability for Generative Information Retrieval. The talk was a cool example to show that interpretability can also be actionable. Thank you very much for joining us, Anja!

🗣️Today we had the pleasure of hosting @bbunzeck.bsky.social for a talk on how LLMs are not usage-based (yet). We learned a lot about the challenges of training smaller language models on dialogue data and evaluating from a production-based perspective. Thanks for coming, Bastian!
