Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed significant advancements recently, with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, GPT-4 and LLaMA pushing the boundaries of machine reading comprehension and language generation.

In this talk, Professor Yulan He will delve into the question of whether these LLMs have successfully overcome the challenges of NLP by examining their capabilities in a range of NLP tasks. She will conclude her talk with the exciting future of AI-driven language understanding.

This event is in-person only. Please register on Eventbrite.

Speaker

Professor Yulan He is a Professor at the Department of Informatics, King's College London. Her research centres around the exploration of statistical models in representing uncertainty and the benefit they bring over earlier work in a wide range of application areas, particularly the integration of machine learning and natural language processing for text understanding. She currently holds a five-year Turing AI Fellowship, funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Yulan obtained her PhD degree in spoken language understanding from the University of Cambridge, and her MEng and BASc (First Class Honours) degrees in Computer Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
