    Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Towards a Robust Normative Framework

    February 8, 2023  |  S. Matthew Liao
    Abstract: As AI technologies continue to advance, questions about the ethics of AI become more pressing than ever. In this talk, I aim to outline some of the key issues in the study of AI ethics, identify some of the core claims that have been made, and propose an ethical framework that can help us guide these…

    What Do NLP Researchers Believe? Results of the NLP Community Metasurvey

    Abstract: I will present the results of the NLP Community Metasurvey (nlpsurvey.net). This was a questionnaire that we ran from May to June 2022 which elicited the opinions of NLP researchers on controversial issues, including industry influence in the field, concerns about AGI, and ethics. Our results put…

    Global storm-resolving climate simulation in Python

    December 14, 2022  |  Oliver Fuhrer
    This video shows an animation of a climate simulation done with a Python implementation of NOAA's climate model FV3GFS on the Piz Daint supercomputer. Even thought the code is implemented in Python, it runs 3.9x faster than the original implementation in Fortran. This is due to the help of a domain-specific…

    Just-DREAM-about-it: Figurative Language Understanding with DREAM-FLUTE

    November 18, 2022  |  Yuling Gu
    Figurative language (e.g., "he flew like the wind") is challenging to understand, as it is hard to tell what implicit information is being conveyed from the surface form alone. We hypothesize that to perform this task well, the reader needs to mentally elaborate the scene being described to identify a sensible…

    Entailer: Answering Questions with Faithful and Truthful Chains of Reasoning

    November 16, 2022  |  Bhavana Dalvi
    EMNLP '22 Talk for paper: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Explaining-Answers-with-Entailment-Trees-Dalvi-Jansen/4a56f72b9c529810ba4ecfe9eac522d87f6db81d Our goal is a question-answering (QA) system that can show how its answers are implied by its own internal beliefs via a systematic chain of reasoning…

    Biomedical AI for Precision Health

    August 16, 2022  |  Hoifung Poon
    Abstract: The advent of big data promises to revolutionize medicine by making it more personalized and effective, but big data also presents a grand challenge of information overload. For example, tumor sequencing has become routine in cancer treatment, yet interpreting the genomic data requires painstakingly…
  • Beyond End-to-end: Decomposed Modeling and Representations in NLP Thumbnail

    Beyond End-to-end: Decomposed Modeling and Representations in NLP

    July 22, 2022  |  Ido Dagan
    ABSTRACT: Deep learning has pushed us to develop models and representations which we understand and control to a much lesser degree than earlier methods. In this talk I suggest revisiting the pursuit of decomposed models and representations, aiming to regain a better understanding and control of our systems while…

    Applied AI in High-Expertise Settings, or Curation as Programming

    June 29, 2022  |  Bill Howe
    The success of large AI models in challenging (yet conceptually simple) perception and comprehension tasks (e.g., generating images from a text description) is motivating new applications of these methods in areas previously considered to require human expertise. For example, deep learning has shown promise in…
