PhD in Mathematical foundations for AI in London
by Haim Dubossarsky 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

On behalf of Prof. Omer Bobrowski and Prof Primoz Skraba. An exciting PhD opportunity at the intersection of Machine Learning, Mathematics and model interpretability is offered at the Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science at Queen Mary University of London. Project description This PhD position is part of the “Erlangen Programme for AI,” a prestigious multi-university initiative focused on developing a rigorous mathematical foundation for Artificial Intelligence. The project emphasizes the integration of concepts from topology, geometry, and probability, with the overarching goal of enhancing the interpretability, robustness, and generalization of AI models. Understanding Deep Neural Networks DNNs represent a cutting-edge approach in machine learning and AI, but there remains a significant gap in understanding the intrinsic mechanisms behind their powerful performance. This research aims to combine topological and geometric tools with probabilistic analysis to unveil hidden structures in neural networks. By investigating how these structures arise during training, how information flows through layers, and what vulnerabilities exist, we expect to gain insights that will drive future advancements in model design, optimization, and resilience. Understanding Large Language Models LLMs have shown to capture (encode) both the semantics and structure (grammar) of language within their learned parameters. However, the methods used to access this knowledge (decoding) remain basic, typically involving the representation of textual objects (e.g., words, sentences) as continuous vectors in Euclidean space. This project aims to leverage geometry and topology to explore the internal representations and latent spaces within the LLMs parameters that go beyond simple vectors analysis. We will develop advanced methods for decoding meaning and structure from LLMs, enabling richer and more diverse access to the linguistic knowledge they encode, and test it in a range of linguistic tasks (polysemy, cross-lingual transfer, among others). This approach holds the potential for breakthroughs in both AI theory and practical applications. Deadline is Wednesday, January 29, 2025 Further details can be found here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/mathematical-foundations-for-ai/?p177…

2nd CfP: 9th SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature
by Anna Kazantseva 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

LaTeCH-CLfL 2025: The 9th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature to be held on May 3rd or 4th, 2025 in conjunction with NAACL 2025 <https://2025.naacl.org/> in Albuquerque, NM. https://sighum.wordpress.com/latech-clfl-2025/ Second Call for Papers (with apologies for cross-posting) Organisers: Diego Alves, Yuri Bizzoni, Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Anna Kazantseva, Janis Pagel, Stan Szpakowicz LaTeCH-CLfL 2025 is the ninth in a series of meetings for NLP researchers who work with data from the broadly understood arts, humanities and social sciences, and for specialists in those disciplines who apply NLP techniques in their work. The workshop continues a long tradition of annual meetings. The SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH) ran ten times in 2007-2016. The five Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) took place in 2012-2016. The first eight joint workshops (LaTeCH-CLfL) were held in 2017-2024. Topics and content In the Humanities, Social Sciences, Cultural Heritage and literary communities, there is increasing interest in, and demand for, NLP methods for semantic and structural annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and secondary data. This is even true of primarily non-textual collections, given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such applications pose new challenges for NLP research: noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, vague research concepts, multilingual parts within one document, and so no. Digital resources often have insufficient coverage; resource-intensive methods require (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or intense manual effort (e.g., annotation). Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a certain period, author or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry. NLP methods applied in this context not only need to achieve high performance, but are often applied as a first step in research or scholarly workflow. That is why it is crucial to interpret model results properly; model interpretability might be more important than raw performance scores, depending on the context. More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models whose results can be used or interpreted in meaningful ways. It is, therefore, of mutual benefit that NLP experts, data specialists and Digital Humanities researchers who work in and across their domains get involved in the Computational Linguistics community and present their fundamental or applied research results. It has already been demonstrated how cross-disciplinary exchange not only supports work in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage communities but also promotes work in the Computational Linguistics community to build richer and more effective tools and models. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • adaptation of NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and literature; • automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; • complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; • creation (fully- or semi-automatic) of semantic resources; • creation and analysis of social networks of literary characters; • discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; • emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; • generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; • identification and analysis of literary genres; • interpretability of large language models output for DH-related tasks (explainable AI); • linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; • low-resource and historical language processing; • modelling dialogue literary style for generation; • modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; • profiling and authorship attribution; • search for scientific and/or scholarly literature; • work with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language. Information for authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. • Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references (just two if possible -:). The final camera-ready versions of accepted long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. • A short paper / demo presenting work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content plus additional pages of references (one if you can). Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. • A position paper — clearly marked as such — should not exceed eight (8) pages including references. All submissions are to follow the *ACL paper styles (for LaTeX / Overleaf and MS Word) available at https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files. Papers should be submitted electronically, only in PDF, via the LaTeCH-CLfL 2025 submission website on the SoftConf pages (we will publish the link as soon as we have it). Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names, acknowledgements and so on — anything that immediately reveals the authors’ identity. Self-references should be kept to a reasonable minimum, and anonymous citations cannot be used. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings available as usual in the ACL Anthology. Important dates (tentative) Workshop paper due: January 30, 2025 Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2025 Camera-ready papers due: March 10, 2025 Workshop date: May 3rd or 4th, 2025 More on the organizers Diego Alves, Language Science and Technology, Saarland University Yuri Bizzoni, Center for Humanities Computing / School for Communication and Culture, Århus University Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Language Science and Technology, Saarland University Anna Kazantseva, National Research Council Canada Janis Pagel, Department of Digital Humanities, University of Cologne Stan Szpakowicz, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa Contact latech-clfl(a)googlegroups.com <mailto:latech-clfl@googlegroups.com>
