Maike Zuefle developed robust data infrastructure and evaluation tooling for the hearing2translate and IWSLT/IWSLThub.io.git repositories, focusing on multilingual speech translation under noisy conditions. She engineered ingestion pipelines and analysis scripts in Python and Jupyter Notebook to quantify translation quality across clean and noisy datasets, enabling reproducible benchmarking. Maike enhanced evaluation transparency by documenting quality estimation workflows, clarifying training and test set processes, and providing human-annotated metrics for shared tasks. Her work emphasized dataset management, data visualization, and natural language processing, resulting in improved experimental coverage, clearer evaluation guidance, and streamlined onboarding for researchers participating in speech translation benchmarking tasks.

January 2026: Focused on improving evaluation transparency for IWSLThub.io.git by delivering Metrics Shared Task Test Set Information for IWLST 2026, including human annotations for en-de and en-zh. Updated docs in IWSLT/IWSLThub.io.git (commit eb9be11cf23bdfa49155f820c64fa651b265e6b9). No major bugs fixed; maintenance centered on documentation and task clarity. Impact: clearer evaluation guidance, improved benchmarking reliability, and faster onboarding for researchers and developers. Skills demonstrated: documentation discipline, task scoping, and cross-team alignment.
