Mind the Inclusivity Gap: Multilingual Gender-Neutral Translation Evaluation with MGENTE

Avoiding the propagation of undue (binary) gender inferences and default masculine language remains a key challenge towards inclusive multilingual technologies, particularly when translating into languages with extensive gendered morphology. Gender-neutral translation (GNT) represents a linguistic strategy towards fairer communication across languages. However, research on GNT is limited to a few resources and language pairs. To address this gap, we introduce mGeNTE, an expert-curated resourc...

STELVIO: Exploring Factor Graphs for a Robust Stereo-Visual-LiDAR-Inertial Odometry

Accurate and robust odometry is critical for mobile mapping and autonomous navigation, particularly in complex environments where single-sensor approaches struggle. While LiDAR and visual odometry each provide valuable motion estimation, they are susceptible to failures in conditions unfavorable for the specific odometry type. Fusing multiple modalities enhances robustness, yet effective integration remains challenging due to differences in heterogenous sensor data representation. This study ...

A Practical Tutorial on Explainable AI Techniques

The past years have been characterized by an upsurge in opaque automatic decision support systems, such as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Although DNNs have great generalization and prediction abilities, it is difficult to obtain detailed explanations for their behavior. As opaque Machine Learning models are increasingly being employed to make important predictions in critical domains, there is a danger of creating and using decisions that are not justifiable or legitimate. Therefore, there is ...
