#Tag · bonfire.cafe

The day featured well-prepared talks, thoughtful questions, and lively exchanges across topics.

A big thank you to Yongxin Huang, our thesis coordinator, for guiding this cohort through the process, and to all supervisors for their continuous support throughout the semester.

We wish all students the best of luck as they finalize their submissions by the end of this month! ✨

Tomorrow I'll give my inaugural lecture @uni-bamberg.de@bsky.brid.gy – if you don't know what language technology #nlproc is, and want to know what @bamnlp.de@bsky.brid.gy works on, please feel invited! If you can't make it at 6pm to Weberei 5 in Bamberg ("Erba Campus"), send me a message and I'll share a streaming link.

Meet 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗘𝗗 🌱 — a framework for 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 in conversational AI.

🧩 SEEED detects both 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀, and even 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 for newly discovered ones

⚙️ By combining 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 with a 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, it improves representation learning and uncovers 𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.

Diagram illustrating a chatbot correction process. A human says, “I really like indie music! Do you have a favorite artist?” The chatbot replies, “I’m a huge fan of indie music too! The Beatles are my absolute favorite!” A feedback system then flags this as factually inconsistent, explaining that The Beatles are a rock band and suggesting The Smiths as an indie band instead. The corrected response becomes, “I’m a huge fan of indie music too! The Smiths are my absolute favorite!” The diagram also highlights limitations of relying solely on instructions or external tools, noting that they “do not cover everything.”
