MCML-LAMARR Workshop at University of Bonn
Collaborating on NLP Research in Bonn
On September 24th and 25th, the first MCML-LAMARR-Workshop took place at the University of Bonn. Main focus was NLP, and its related areas. PIs and junior members from both German AI Centers came together to present each others research, to be part of networking sessions and to work in discussion groups, and to foster engagement in collaboration between our centers. PIs Lucie Flek and Mehdi Ali from LAMARR, and JRG Leader Michael Hedderich, alongside many PhD students, gave talks on their research. We all agreed on the fact that there is a lot of work to do in NLP with respect to LLM finetuning, alignment, and bias and ethics research.
