📢 10 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted for publication at #EMNLP2024 in Miami! 🇺🇸 And 2 papers from CL and TACL will be presented at the conference 🎉 Congratulations to everyone involved! 💐 – be sure to check them out in this thread (1/🧵):

Please drop by our poster tomorrow and talk to my co-authors about how IVON can directly optimize a variational objective with similar performance and cost as Adam but many things on top (uncertainty, model adaptation, diagnosis, ...) Thu. 13:30-15:00, hall c 4-9, poster #1402

Pointwise V-usable information (PVI) excels in many #NLProc tasks. But fine-tuning #LLMs with it is very time-consuming 🐌 Is in-context PVI the necessary next step? Yes! 🎉Check out our empirical analysis accepted at #EMNLP2023 – and this 🧵 (1/7) 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2310.12300

Are Emergent Abilities in Large Language Models just In-Context Learning? Spoiler: YES 🤯 Through a series of over 1,000 experiments, we provide compelling evidence: arxiv.org/abs/2309.01809 Our results allay safety concerns regarding latent hazardous abilities. A🧵👇 #NLProc

@emnlpmeeting In case anyone is interested: I received an answer from the EMNLP Program Chairs via E-Mail: In short: 1. Yes 2. No

@emnlpmeeting I have two questions regarding the author response: 1. "EMNLP 2023 template" refers to the paper template? 2. Do references count towards the one page limit? Would appreciate any help :)

The ARR Commitment link for EMNLP 2023 is now available! We are looking forward to your submissions! openreview.net/group?id=EMNLP… #EMNLP2023 #NLProc

@_mm85 Kind of ironic considering that twitter is blocked in China?

Could you do the same where you live? I just grabbed a seat at this table in a Mall in Shenzhen. The girl beside me left her belongings like laptop and Christian Dior bag unattended. She didn’t ask anyone to take care of it and she hasn’t returned for more than 30 minutes …

Hey @signalapp, why do you keep insisting that I turn on notifications? Being donation funded and tracking-less (which I support very much), signal shouldn’t need to get me hooked, right?

Some ppl have asked why we’d expect larger language models to do worse on tasks (inverse scaling). We train LMs to imitate internet text, an objective that is often misaligned w human preferences; if the data has issues, LMs will mimic those issues (esp larger ones). Examples: 🧵

Great tutorial by ⁦@PetarV_93⁩ at ⁦@CambridgeEllis⁩ ML Summer School!

GPT-3 is amazing at complex tasks like creative writing and summarizing. But it's surprisingly bad at reversing words. 🤔 The reason is that GPT-3 doesn't see the world the way we humans do. 👀 If you teach it to reason, it can get around its limitations to get really good. 💡

@s_hesz @chimsky68 Lets go!

@s_hesz @t_witteria_wien Nein das ist das Gegenteil

Die Weihnachtsgeschenke sind damit erledigt.

Great talks at #SciNLP about exciting applications of NLP research @andycrouse77 @NCBI !

Volksentscheid, WIR KOMMEN! 💛💜 Mit sagenhaften 343.591 Unterschriften🎉 🎈Aufgrund der Anzahl an Unterschriften (schon die vorläufige Zahl ist ein Rekord für Volksbegehren in Berlin) gehen wir davon aus, dass es zum Volksentscheid am 26.09. kommt! 💪

Really interesting, well-researched (and long) article on the origin of SARS-CoV2 and the dangers of gain-of-function research on viruses. Bottomline: The lab escape theory seems to be more plausible than reported by some. thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-or…

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

"An international effort to produce & distribute mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines worldwide" English version of a petition first proposed by @axelkahn to coordinate an emergency effort to produce and distribute mRNA-based Covid vaccines to the entire world. change.org/p/president-jo…
