Hi Bangkok 🇹🇭, if you are attending @aclmeeting stop by our poster "Factual Confidence of LLMs: on Reliability and Robustness of Current Estimators".
Our amazing @AmazonScience intern Matéo Mahaut is in-person in 🇹🇭:
14:00–15:30 Session 4, Aug 12 (today)
#ACL2024NLP#NLProc
Our AWS science team in sunny Barcelona is looking for an intern. Great opportunity to do research and learn about exciting topics related to large language models and generative AI! https://t.co/M5gLkVOWAx
Our results point to efficient alternatives to the usage of large LMs and labeling a large amount of training examples to build effective NLP applications. In particular, prompting + KD allows to keep both data and compute cost (of inference) low. 3/3
Upcoming AACL 2022 paper "Performance-Efficiency Trade-Offs in Adapting Language Models to Text Classification Tasks" with @nickvosk and @roiblanco https://t.co/c4wOefGlPd @AmazonScience 1/3
We study how performance varies across model and train set sizes, when adapting pre-trained language models for classification tasks through different training procedures (fine-tuning vs. prompting; w/ vs. w/o knowledge distillation) 2/3
On the 11th of April, 3pm-5pm, join us in our mini-workshop on Referential Information in Deep Learning Models 🤖, with Raquel Fernàndez and Anna Rogers. More details at this link: https://t.co/L6EINSO0vg…
@annargrs@raquel_dmg@colt_upf@TraduccioUPF@ERC_Research
Today @lauraina_ successfully defended her PhD thesis "A Deep Learning Perspective on Linguistic Ambiguity". She is the first AMORE student defending the PhD thesis and she did a great job! Congratulations 🎉
@TraduccioUPF@colt_upf
NEW: On the 25th of March, 3pm-5pm, our mini-workshop on linguistic ambiguity will be hybrid. Join us at this zoom link: https://t.co/f8ffHRIs2d

Finally, I’m looking for a new PhD candidate to join the group! Due to funding constraints, this position must start in 2021 (Master’s degree required). Only a few days left to apply: https://t.co/7vWkgb8Sp2
There may be open postdoc positions next year, stay tuned 😎
Our results suggest that predictability affects mention type (pronoun/name/description) and length: more informative context-->less informative expression. But a joint role with other discourse factors (e.g., recency, syntactic position) helps to explain reference production 4/4
I'm happy to share "Does referent predictability affect the choice of referential form? A computational approach using masked coreference resolution", joint work with @xixian18, Gemma Boleda @amoreupf and @MatthijsWestera, accepted at #CoNLL '21 https://t.co/ECndhbtuSu 1/4
We use computational estimates of referent predictability to scale the analysis on more data. We modify a coreference resolution architecture to give us predictions on "masked" mentions. e.g.: "Laura congratulated Xixian because [MASK] got a paper accepted." 3/4
To whoever needs to read this: When you realize your goals are beyond what you can handle, it's okay to take a step back and slow the pace. And if you need to put your plans fully on hold to recover, be patient and try not to put too much pressure on yourself. ❤️ 6/6
I'm happy to announce that my paper with @tallinzen "The Language Model Understood the Prompt was Ambiguous: Probing Syntactic Uncertainty Through Generation" has been accepted at #BlackboxNLP '21 https://t.co/rbxRRfjTPm 1/6
For various reasons, during the course of this project I've had to prioritize my health on multiple occasions, leading to frequently readjust plans and expectations. It wasn't an easy process, which makes me even happier that I can now share this work. 5/6
