About Me

I am currently a research engineer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. My research is centered on investigating added toxicity in Multilingual Neural Machine Translation, utilizing decoder-only architectures for machine translation, enhancing the translation quality of low-resource languages, and improving the interpretability of large language models.

News

• October 2024: Our paper “Training and Fine-Tuning NMT Models for Low-Resource Languages using Apertium-Based Synthetic Corpora” was accepted by WMT2024.
• June 2024: Release of Plume, an open multilingual LLM for Machine Translation.
• June 2024: New paper on Machine Translation for low resource languages.
• June 2024: Presented our work on mitigating added toxicity in Machine Translation (ReSeTOX) at EAMT 2024.
• November 2023: Presented ReSeTOX at Finland AI Day 2023 (event organized by the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence FCAI).
