Rome, Italia Translated Srl A tempo pieno

About Translated

Translated is on a mission to allow everyone to understand and be understood, in their own language. We are a technology-powered professional translation provider. We partner with over 200,000 professional translators worldwide, in 200 languages. Our 310,000 clients range from the private person who needs their CV translated to the very big, like Uber and Airbnb.

Our progress is largely powered by our ability to leverage scientific progress and realize the best synergy between humans and machines. We invest heavily in R&D, such as LLMs applied to translation, expressive speech synthesis, and privacy-preserving training for translation. We operate as a science-driven startup, so that our scientific innovations quickly make it to production and make a measurable impact on our operations.

The ideal candidate should have a strong enthusiasm for contributing to the design and implementation of Large-scale Language Models for speech-related tasks. Additionally, they should be capable of coordinating technical, communication, and team activities for our Meetween project.

The project: Meetween

Translated has just been awarded a grant on Meetween, a 7M€, 4-year collaborative research project started in January 2024, which Translated leads. Meetween uses LLMs and multimodal foundation models to enhance human communication.

The project is related to the following research areas: Deep Learning, Large Language and Multimodal models, Machine Translation, Automatic Speech Recognition and Translation, Summarization, AI Digital Assistants. The project offers the opportunity to collaborate with leading speech processing teams from both academia and industry.

With Meetween, we want to "solve speech": we will build foundation models to model all 3 modalities of speech (text, audio, video including lip movement, facial expression, and gestures) in a single architecture. Thanks to transfer learning and conditioning, this is used to implement many speech-related downstream tasks: ASR, zero-shot TTS and voice cloning, speech-to-speech translation, lip reading and lip resync, audio/video mutual reconstruction/enhancement.

We have secured an ambitious computing budget on the Polish HPC infrastructure with hundreds of thousands of A100-hours, in addition to our in-house compute infrastructure of several hundreds of GPUs.

For maximum impact, all research outcomes of Meetween, such as trained models, datasets, evaluation benchmarks, will be open-sourced on HuggingFace.

You will be part of a team of researchers dedicated to Meetween within Translated's AI Research team, which works on several pieces of technology such as Large Language Models, Machine Translation, Speech Synthesis, privacy-preserving Machine Learning.
