Sharon Goldwater (University of Edinburgh) “Analyzing Representations of Self-Supervised Speech Models”

August 27, 2023
When: October 27, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Where: Hackerman Hall B17, 3400 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218

Abstract Recent advances in speech technology make heavy use of pre-trained models that learn from large quantities of raw (untranscribed) speech, using “self-supervised” (ie unsupervised) learning. These models learn to transform the acoustic input into[…]

Antoine Bosselut (EPFL) “From Mechanistic Interpretability to Mechanistic Reasoning”

August 27, 2023
When: October 13, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Where: Hackerman Hall B17, 3400 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218

Abstract Pretrained language models (LMs) encode implicit representations of knowledge in their parameters. Despite this observation, our best methods for interpreting these representations yield few actionable insights on how to manipulate this parameter space for[…]

CLSP Student Seminar – Zhengping Jiang “Scalar Labels for Capturing Human Uncertainty”

August 27, 2023
When: September 29, 2023 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Where: Hackerman Hall B17, 3400 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218

Abstract Any valuable NLP dataset has traditionally been shipped with crowdsourced categorical labels. Instructions for collecting these labels are easy to communicate and the labels themselves are easy to annotate. However, as self-supervision based methods[…]
