EuroLLM

A 1.7M GPU grant from EuroHPC on the Barcelona Super Computer MareNostrum5 to train a language model for Europe. It covers the 24 official European languages and 11 strategic international languages. We pretrained a 1.7B and 9B model from scratch on 50% non-English data. EuroLLM shows the best translation performance compared to all the other top medium sized LLMs. It also performs competitively in understanding and reasoning across 11 EU languages, beating other European models, and it is fully open. 


UTTER

Unified Transcription and Translation for Extended Reality

UTTER aims to use large language models to develop scalable, adaptable, contextualised, emotion-aware and explainable technologies for translation, summarisation and transcription. 

UTTER is a Horizon Europe project running from October 2022 for three years. 



MTStretch


MTStretch aimed to improve low-resource machine translation by stretching our capabilities and resources. 

MTStretch was a EPSRC Innovation Fellowship which ran from 2019-2021. 




GoURMET

Global Under-Resourced Media Translation

 GoURMET improves neural machine translation for low-resource language pairs and domains.

The project develops open-source applications and implements these through use cases at the BBC and Deutsche Welle. 

GoURMET is a European Horizon 2020 project which ran from 2019-2022
