Topic

Building and evaluating Generative AI applications for NLP

Abstract

The talk will focus on the different aspects of building interactive AI systems that use large language models (LLMs). We will look into the trend of LLM development and the evaluation of systems from the lens of academic research in NLP. The talk will go over how effective LLMs like chatGPT, Claude, Bard etc. are, at different problems in natural language generation space. We'll go over how generative AI has brought focus back to the data and ethical development of AI Systems. We will discuss the field of HCI-NLP, and the successful design of Generative AI applications.
