Rachel Wicks (JHU) “To Sentences and Beyond: Paving the Way for Context-Aware Machine Translation” 12:00 pm
Rachel Wicks (JHU) “To Sentences and Beyond: Paving the Way for Context-Aware Machine Translation” @ Hackerman Hall B17
Mar 4 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Abstract Most machine translation systems operate on the sentence-level while humans write and translate within a given context. Operating on individual sentences forces error-prone sentence segmentation into the machine translation pipeline. This limits the upper-bound[...]

Cindy Wang (Google DeepMind) “Building Data-Efficient and Reliable Applications with Large Language Models” 12:00 pm
Cindy Wang (Google DeepMind) “Building Data-Efficient and Reliable Applications with Large Language Models” @ Hackerman Hall B17
Mar 8 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various domains. However, it is still very challenging to build highly-reliable applications with LLMs that support specialized use cases. LLMs trained on web data often[...]

Zili Huang (JHU) “Unix-Encoder: A Universal X-Channel Speech Encoder for Ad-Hoc Microphone Array Speech Processing”
Mar 11 @ 8:05 pm – 9:05 pm
Abstract The speech field is evolving to solve more challenging scenarios, such as multi-channel recordings with multiple simultaneous talkers. Given the many types of microphone setups out there, we present the UniX-Encoder. It’s a universal[...]

Eunsol Choi (University of Texas at Austin) “Knowledge-Rich Language Systems in a Dynamic World” @ Hackerman Hall B17
Mar 15 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Abstract Natural language provides an intuitive and powerful interface to access knowledge at scale. Modern language systems draw information from two rich knowledge sources: (1) information stored in their parameters during massive pretraining and (2)[...]
