Great to talk with @JayAlammar at #EMNLP2022, and I'm honored that he featured my team's research in his latest video! Check it out: https://youtu.be/plCvF_7qrmY

What a great way to kick new 2023 episodes of @practicalai! This week we are sharing a conversation I had at #EMNLP2022 with Just Zwennicker, Andiswa Bukula, Rooweither Mabuya & Bonaventure Dossou

Amazing researchers building SOTA #AI #NLProc for their communities. Listen here: https://changelog.com/practicalai/205

Summaries of a few papers that I liked at #emnlp2022 are on my blog now: https://jlibovicky.github.io/2022/12/21/Notes-from-EMNLP.html 🤓

Paper Title:
Curriculum Prompt Learning with Self-Training for Abstractive Dialogue Summarization

Authors:
Changqun Li, Linlin Wang, Xin Lin, Gerard de Melo, Liang He

This is joint work with researchers from East China Normal University in Shanghai, including my former PhD student Linlin Wang, who is now a faculty member there, and, most importantly, her student collaborator Changqun Li.

Check out the #EMNLP2022 Paper for further details:

http://gerard.demelo.org/papers/dialogue-summarization.bib

Overwhelming amounts of dialogue are being recorded in social media, instant messaging apps, Slack channels, customer service interactions, and so on.

Wouldn't it be great if automated tools could provide us short, succinct summaries?

Here's talk I just gave at #EMNLP2022 about a new #LLM prompt learning method that works fairly well even when the training data is extremely limited.

Had a great time meeting people at #BlackboxNLP and #EMNLP2022 last week. You can see my talk as well as great talks by Lena Voita and Catherine Olsson on youtube here:

We are working on a Human-Centric Assessment Framework for AI. Special focus: how can we evaluate the plausibility of AI explanations? 🗨🙋🗨🤖

Below is the poster we presented at the #BlackboxNLP workshop at #emnlp2022 #nlproc

Planning to run some human evaluation experiments soon. Happy to hear any feedback!

We had lots of papers at #emnlp2022 … and lots of us were there in Abu Dhabi in person to present them!

For all NLP folks out there: all #emnlp2022 papers now also discoverable in Zeta Alpha.

Haven’t read it yet but the title and abstract give me a strong #BenderRule itch

I had a great conversation with José Souza and Ricardo Rei from Unbabel at #emnlp2022 about SOTA machine translation and quality estimation. Listen to it here on @practicalai: changelog.com/practicalai/204

EMNLP2022 trip report: neuro-symbolic approaches in NLP are on the rise
https://keet.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/emnlp22-trip-report-neuro-symbolic-approaches-in-nlp-are-on-the-rise/
the report is longer than intended, yet still incomplete wrt the papers that aren’t (only) large language models, but also inject structured content, reasoners, or grammars to improve on a range of NLP tasks. #EMNLP2022

live from #emnlp2022 talking about #ChatGPT 🤖💬 I am 😊 to have had a short interview on #AlJazeeranews explaining why it's not new, what are the opportunities, the limitations and what does it mean for the future #nlproc #AI

Well, I'm back from #emnlp2022 and catching up on email and end of year tasks. Great to learn so much and meet with great friends in Abu Dhabi!

Made it back home from #EMNLP2022! Thanks to the
organizers for this experience and thanks to all the wonderful people I was able to meet in person! 🥳

Summary of my current position on #ChatGPT:

(A post- #EMNLP2022 #nlproc 🧵 )

* it’s fun to play with (evident by 1M users in a few days)

* I started more skeptical about its usefulness beyond fun and PR, but I now think it can be useful for technical writing and other non-creative report writing (medical etc), *if post-edited / verified for correctness*

* this means you need to know what you are doing! In other words, it can be a good expert-aid tool (but not sure abt lay-person)

It was a wonderful time at #EMNLP2022, catching up and having research discussions with old friends and new.

Now that the week is done I hope we keep the conversations going! In addition to Twitter, would suggest Mastodon. Sign up https://sigmoid.social and cross-post (T ➡️ M).

#emnlp2022 was great—thanks to the organizers. In-person conferences are great. Abu Dhabi was wonderful. Here is a photo taken at the Louvre Abu Dhabi (highly recommend it if you’re still around and have not visited.)
