There are many things machine translation still can't do. Help us steer the next direction by contributing hard-to-translate inputs (and be on a cool paper).

How often is human evaluation skipped in papers/workflows just because it's too difficult to set up? Yet even small humeval can give so much more signal than automatic metrics. Introducing Pearmut, Human Evaluation of Translation Made Trivial🍐 arxiv.org/pdf/2601.02933

Quality estimation (automated metrics) are amazing. Truly. We would like to use them everywhere. That gets compute-expensive very quickly. We also don't know when they don't know. In "Early-Exit and Instant Confidence Translation Quality Estimation" (at EACL26) we fix that.
