Speaker: Prof. Nguyen Le Minh, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) Topic: ZeLa: Advancing Zero-Shot Multilingual Semantic Parsing with Large Language Models and Chain-of-Thought Strategies Time: 16:00 – 17:00 Tuesday, October 8th Location: I201 Zoom Online: link Detail can be found here

About the Talk: Since the release of the original Transformer model, extensive efforts have been devoted to scaling up the model complexities to take advantage of massive datasets and advanced computing resources. To go beyond simply increasing the network depth and width, Sparse Mixture-of-experts (SMoE) has risen as an appealing solution for scaling Large Language […]

About the Talk: Large models fuel impressive capabilities.  However, they currently do not know what they do not know, which is critical to the important challenges of exploration and alignment.  Knowing what is not known is essential, for example, to gathering informative data.  In this talk, I will discuss the need for scalable uncertainty and […]

About the Talk: In this talk, I am going to share my research works, and my experience working to support spinning-out ideas for a startup company named VentDx. We are in the process of creating another company to commercialise the depth of the anaesthesia monitoring system. To further provide impact and bring my research to […]

About the Seminar In this talk AI-based methods have tremendous potential for impacting the performance of autonomous aerospace and robotic systems. Such systems include drones, ground- and water-based vehicles, and limbed robots for instance. A barrier to the wide deployment of AI-powered methods in such applications is the risk or unpredictability of algorithm performance. In […]

 About the Seminar In this talk, we illustrate how linear algebra and optimization, with continuous or binary variables, is useful for power industry, for example for improving maintenance of power plants or for energy management. Optimization under constraints is a key approach for energy management where we aim at minimizing costs of production while respecting […]
