Our WMT 2026 Shared Task on Multitask LLMs with Limited Resources, co-located with EMNLP 2026 is entering the second phase! Task website: https://www2.statmt.org/wmt26/limited-resources-llm.html?utm_source=chatgpt… Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/llms-with-limited-resources-2026?utm_source=cha… This shared task extends the WMT 2025 edition on low-resource LLMs by introducing three additional multitask settings: * Spell Checking * Grammar Checking * modern evaluation of Maths Reasoning The benchmark focuses on low-resource evaluation for three languages: Ukrainian (uk), Upper Sorbian (hsb), andLower Sorbian (dsb). Participants are required to train a single multitask model based on the Qwen3.5-2B family and jointly evaluate it on all tasks: * Machine Translation * Multiple-Choice Question Answering * Math Reasoning (new) * Spell Checking (new) * Grammar Checking (new) The task aims to study: * Cross-task transfer in compact LLMs * Multitask learning under strict parameter constraints * Efficient adaptation for low-resource Slavic languages * Interactions between translation, linguistic correction, QA, and reasoning capabilities So, if you would like to challenge yourself in developing LLMs with restricted resources -- consider our shared task! Important dates (AoE): * Training/development data release: Now! * Test data release: end of June 2026 * Submission deadline: July 2026 We welcome participation from both academia and industry, especially teams interested in multilingual NLP, efficient LLM adaptation, low-resource machine translation, and multitask learning. Organisers (in alphabetical order): * Daryna Dementieva * Marion Di Marco * Lukas Edman * Alexander Fraser * Kathy Hämmerl * Shu Okabe All good vibes, Daryna Dementieva On behalf of LLMs with Limited Resources Shared task organisers

This position is topically open as long as it matches our group and the environment at Saarland University well. Fundamental and applied topics are equally welcome. The ideal candidate for the position would have: 1. Excellent knowledge of machine learning and deep learning 2. Excellent programming skills 3. PhD degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Bioinformatics, Physics, Mathematics, or similar 4. Successful experience working both independently and as part of a small team Salary: The PhD position will be full time on the German E13 scale (TV-L) which is about 4967€ per month before tax and social security contributions. The appointments will be for two years with a possible extension. Saarland University has a very strong computer science department (two Max Planck institutes, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) and is strong in medical/pharmaceutical research (CBI, HIPS, UKS). In both areas it is a leading location in Germany and Europe and therefore perfect for bridging from AI to science. How to apply: Please send us a letter of motivation, your CV, your transcripts, if available a list of publications, and the names and contact information of at least two references, as a single PDF or a link to a PDF if the file size is more than 5 MB.
