🚨 Thrilled to announce a new preprint! 📝 Title: Lexicalization Is All You Need: Examining the Impact of Lexical Knowledge in a Compositional QALD System 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 Authors: David Maria Schmidt, Mohammad Fazleh Elahi, Philipp Cimiano @pcimiano 🔗 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2411.03906

Our PhD student Matthias Orlikowski is currently visiting colleagues @gesis_org in Cologne. Enjoy your time there, @morlikow ! 🎉

I will spend 6 weeks @gesis_org funded by their Junior Research Program! With @GabriellaLapesa and Julia Romberg I will be working on annotator subjectivity in online argumentation Looking forward to meet many others, so much interesting work being done here!

Delighted to announce our paper "Lexicalization Is All You Need: Examining the Impact of Lexical Knowledge in a Compositional QALD System" has been accepted at #EKAW2024 🎉 @pcimiano @citec_agsc @SAIL_network @unibielefeld @ekawconference

Can LLMs revolutionize education? 🧑‍🏫 Our @MoritzBlum1024 and colleagues presented results of their collaboration "Evaluating Large Language Models on Wikipedia-Style Survey Generation" in the Findings Poster Session at #ACL2024🎉 Paper: aclanthology.org/2024.findings-…

Today and tomorrow I am presenting my poster on Question Answering from Healthcare Fora at the DataNinja sAIOnARA 2024 Conference.

I am excited to co-organise the workshop on multimodal, affective and interactive eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (MAI-XAI), collocated with the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI), sites.google.com/view/mai-xai24…

Check out the program for the 1st Int. Conference on Robust Argumentation Machines (RATIO): ratio-conference.net/program-overvi… With 3 excellent keynote speakers (Elena Cabrio, Yufang Hou and Henning Wachsmuth) and 20+ contributed papers the conference promises to be exciting.

I'm excited to announce that our work on extractive and generative approaches for extracting information from clinical trial abstracts has been published in the Journal of Biomedical Semantics @BioMedCentral! 📜Read here: doi.org/10.1186/s13326… @pcimiano @citec_agsc

📢Call for international fellows! We are looking for postdocs and advanced researchers who want to continue and expand their research in line with the SAIL research agenda @unibielefeld or @unipb for a 3-month fellowship (application deadline May 31)🤩🤝 ➡️sail.nrw/research/call-…

Our group retreat this week was great fun! Days full of thoughts, hikes and conversations in beautiful and laid-back Winterberg ⛰️🥾🌤️🏕️

Our paper accepted @LrecColing 2024 dives into the limitations of LLMs in Relation Extraction 🚧 We propose semantic adversarials to uncover their limitations in terms of robustness and generalizability. Check out the pre-print here: arxiv.org/abs/2402.19076 #LRECCOLING2024

Day 2 of our Winter School. After a morning of lectures & a training session, the afternoon continues with a poster session in which the doctoral students present their research. It's great to see how diverse the projects are and how lively conversations arise everywhere.💬👥🤩

Today, I am presenting my work on Question Answering from Healthcare Fora at the @SAIL_network AI Winter School @unipb

Our AI Winter School starts today!🥳 With exciting presentations and training sessions, around 100 researchers from all over Europe meet with us @unipb to discuss topics related to #AI and #MachineLearning over the next three days. We are delighted to have you here!🤩

It's a pleasure for me to participate in the @SAIL_network AI Winter School in Paderborn this week!
