We are going to update the research projects, we are missing some
We are going to update the publications
Please check that everything else looks fine
Tackar

Dear all
Welcome to the next NLP group meeting (the last one before summer) on June 26 at 12-13 in M20.
The agenda for the meeting is:
1. Round-of-table news
2. Presentation by Korbinian of his paper: "CICLe: Conformal In-Context Learning for Largescale Multi-Class Food Risk Classification” (to appear in ACL Findings)
3. Finalize the group description
Bring your lunch and we will arrange some “fika” for the coffee.
AND
Welcome to the NLP group's summer picnic in Humlegården on Wednesday June 26 at 17.00.
Bring food and drinks, and blankets if possible. We will also bring beer and coffee.
Let's meet on the lawn just between the Linneus statue and the Royal Library (Kungliga Biblioteket).
In case of rain, we can meet and eat at Hercules' home at Valhallavägen 94, which is 3 blocks away.
Please let us know if you plan to attend by signing up here,

Dear all,
Welcome to Yongchao’s predoc seminar on August 26 at 13:00-15:00 in M20.
Title: Exploring the Educational Utility of Pretrained Language Models
External reviewer: Prof. Filip Ginter, University of Turku
Internal reviewer (NBP): Prof. Panagiotis Papapetrou
Abstract
The advent of pretrained language models (PLMs) has revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP). Trained on extensive datasets, PLMs serve as foundational models for a myriad of NLP tasks. Over the past decade, various types of PLMs have emerged, ranging from static to contextual language models and from masked to autoregressive models, each offering unique ways of utilization and interaction.
This thesis explores these diverse PLM paradigms—embeddings, fine-tuning, prompt-based learning, and in-context learning—within the educational domain, where generative AI and PLMs are poised to effect significant transformation. By examining the application of these paradigms in educational settings, this work aims to highlight the potential of PLMs to enhance teaching and learning processes, thereby contributing to the ongoing evolution of technology-enhanced learning (TEL).
The exploration contributes to the educational domain by expanding knowledge on PLMs and demonstrating practical methods for integrating generative AI into educational practice. The studies presented in this thesis have concretely improved upon the state-of-the-art approaches for various tasks, enhancing current methods and theories in both the TEL and NLP domains. These advancements contribute to the evolution and improvement of both fields, offering innovative applications of AI in education while advancing the development of NLP technologies.
Welcome!
Best,
Aron
