Led by @edhsujourney, we're happy to launch the 2nd SciCap Challenge! It will be held at @IJCAIconf #IJCAI2024 with 2 tracks: Long Caption Track &amp; Short Caption Track.

The winners will be decided by *human evaluation* :)

Submit before June 15, 2024: https://t.co/sgWZtEBJ1M

At #CHI2024, we try to do justice to #crowdsourcing by answering this question:

How does GPT-4's labeling ability compare to that of a realistic, well-executed MTurk *pipeline*?

Led by @StevenHe918, we publish our love letter to crowdsourcing: https://t.co/VALrzFtL01 #LLM 1/🧵

[Tuhin Chakrabarty @TuhinChakr]

Can #GPT4 ever write fiction that matches the quality of @NewYorker fiction? Bothered by claims about AI surpassing human creativity🤔?
Good news🥁:AI is still 3-10X worse at creativity based on our rubric "Torrance Tests for Creative Writing” #NLProc #HCI

🤔How can we align AI systems/LLMs 🤖 to better represent diverse human values and perspectives?💡🌍

We outline a roadmap to pluralistic alignment with concrete definitions for how AI systems and benchmarks can be pluralistic!

Exciting to see convergent evidence from a bunch of papers in the last couple of months (our ICLL paper + this one + https://t.co/GgwoXgddkZ) that an important / distinctive inductive bias in Transformers is how easily they learn to match n-grams / use this for copying &amp; ICL

[katy ilonka gero @katyilonka]

Our paper “Supporting Sensemaking of Large Language Model Outputs at Scale” was accepted to #CHI24!

This paper is about looking at LLM outputs at the “mesoscale”: ~10-100 outputs at once.

Why might you want to look at a bunch of LLM outputs at once? 🧵

I will be recruiting 2-3 PhD students to start in 2024 Fall at Gatech CSE!

If you are interested in working with me on AI for social impact, ML, optimization, etc., please consider applying by Dec 15th and list my name in the application!

[Shirley A. Hayati @shirley_ah_]

LLMs are exposed to so many different people’s writings and opinions during training, but how much diversity can we actually extract back given subjective topics? 🧐

Use Criteria-Based Diversity Prompting to extract diverse perspectives! 😉

How can Copilot improve from human feedback?

💡Idea: learn a model of programmer actions, given a suggestion, will they accept it? If not, don't show the suggestion!

Result: we can hide 1/4 of shown suggestions where 95% of them would be rejected!

Come play ConvXAI with Hua today if you are #CSCW2023 &lt;⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠&gt;

[Hua Shen✨ @huashen218]

I'll present the Live Demo👩‍💻 of ConvXAI🤖 at #CSCW2023 today (Monday Oct/16) during 6:30- 8:30pm session. If you wanna play with ConvXAI or talk more about #human + #XAI using LLMs, I'd be very happy to chat more and love to see you there🤗! @windx0303 @tongshuangwu @appleternity

🚨AI-assisted writing is a nebulous space with researchers and writers being both curious &amp; apprehensive. How useful are current SOTA LLMs to writers?What are their needs &amp; expectations?If this intrigues you, then buckle up🚨

NLP research over the years:
1990s: specialized features for NER
2000s: non-parametric prior for unsupervised parsing
2010s: embeddings + a forward/backward, inside/outside RNN
Today: When you say “Super pretty please” to the LLM, performance goes up
