2025 Best Technical Paper

Alexis Allemann, Sebastien Noir and Andrei Popescu-Belis are being awarded the coveted Best Technical Paper at IBC2025 for their work developing an AI Chatbot for Trusted News, underpinned with strict editorial standards and transparency.

The paper is entitled EBU NEO – A sophisticated multilingual chatbot for a trusted news ecosystem exploration, and addresses the quality, bias and transparency concerns of commercial news chatbots. The result is a database of over 3.5 million articles growing by 3000 news stories per day, and an invaluable tool for both professional journalists and the public to explore the news.

They can be about any relevant industry topic, but we encourage submissions on the topics that are of most current interest to the IBC audience.
