NEUREM3 Interim Research Report
BOJAR, O.
Neural Representations in Multi-modal and Multi-lingual Modeling (NEUREM3) is
a project funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR) program Research,
Experimental Development and Innovation for the Support of Basic Research Grant
Projects EXPRO 2019 from January 2019 till December 2023. This report covers its
first three years, 2019--2021. The scientific work was articulated around 5 broad
areas: Foundations, Interpretability and task-dependence, Tight integration,
Robustness, and Relation of neural representations to multi-lingual concepts. Its
description is clustered according to 5 tasks defined in the project proposal and
several technical topics. In several of these, we have reached beyond
state-of-the-art results. Foreign cooperation in the project was intensive
ranging from hiring foreign specialists, through student interns in respected
foreign laboratories, to synergies with EU and US projects. The team of the
project is consolidated and has a good balance of top-class PI and co-PI,
researchers/post-docs, and both Czech and international PhD students. The project
is competitive on the international level, the assessment is done via
international technology evaluations (challenges), bibliographic metrics, and
organization of top international scientific events. NEUREM3 team efficiently
cooperates and is at the core of building both Czech and international
speech/NLP/MT communities. So far, the project led to a total of 96 publications
of which 12 were in peer-reviewed journals, 49 at top conferences, and 35 at
local workshops, challenge and evaluation workshops, etc. We are also regularly
releasing research data and code in open repositories.
