Batteries, not diesels; three shifts redefining backup power
On the bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, a new marvel of engineering is under construction.   Statera Energy, a UK developer and operator of energy storage and flexible generation, is building a landmark Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) – Carrington Storage – which will have the capacity to deliver instantaneous power to 2.2 million homes for up to two hours.  At a […]

English to Central Kurdish Speech Translation: Corpus Creation, Evaluation, and Orthographic Standardization
arXiv:2604.00613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present KUTED, a speech-to-text translation (S2TT) dataset for Central Kurdish, derived from TED and TEDx talks. The corpus comprises 91,000 sentence pairs, including 170 hours of English audio, 1.65 million English tokens, and 1.40 million Central Kurdish tokens. We evaluate KUTED on the S2TT task and find that orthographic variation significantly degrades Kurdish translation performance, producing nonstandard outputs. To address this, we propose a systematic text standardization approach that yields substantial performance gains and more consistent translations. On a test set separated from TED talks, a fine-tuned Seamless model achieves 15.18 BLEU, and we improve Seamless baseline by 3.0 BLEU on the FLEURS benchmark. We also train a Tra
