- We had so much fun at #EMNLP2024 during the poster sessions and in Miami 🎉🎉 Evidence of fun (excursion to the south beach! 🏖️):
- ConvAI had a great time at @emnlpmeeting #EMNLP2024 Thank you to the organizers @thamar_solorio, Yaser, @mohitban47 and @YunNungChen - we were honored to present our work 🌴🥳EMNLP 2024 in Miami, FL 🌴 Kudos to UIUC NLP folks who have presented their outstanding work in EMNLP this year!🙌
- Many thanks to National Taiwan University's Dr. @YunNungChen for her talk on enhancing language models for enabling more human-like conversation, balancing open-domain and task-oriented settings in one, seamless conversation. We also got a sneak peak of her work on Taiwan-LLM!
- ConvAI lab field trip! Super fun to see behind the scenes for all the experiments we are running 🖥️
- Congratulations to @danielphilipov @Vardhan_Dongre @dilekhakkanitur @tur_gokhan for your Best Application Award on "Simulating User Agents for Embodied Conversational AI"!!🥳Cheers to all the authors who received awards for their posters/demos at Michigan AI Symposium! 🏆 🎉 Your innovative research & hard work truly stood out! Thank you to session chairs: @dangengdg & Zilin Wang Presenters: Yinpei Dai, Zixuan Huang, Daniel Philipov, Yixuan Wang
- Honored to share our ConvAI contributions to #EMNLP2024! Congrats to @wonderingishika, @saagnikkk, @sumukx, and @AbhinavChinta10 - we'll see you in Miami 🌴☀️
- 3 days left until #EMNLP2024!🌴ConvAI will be in Miami (DM if you'd like to meet up!) presenting the following works:
- Excited to announce our ConvAI contributions #neurips2024 Open World Agents, #neurips2024 GenAI for Health, and #EMNLP2024 Multilingual Representation Learning 🥳🥳
- Pro tip: ConvAI can also be found on 🟦☁️
- Congratulations @sumukx @AbhinavChinta10 @VaibhavS2099 @dilekhakkanitur looking forward to your presentation in Miami 🎉Feel GPT's style is not quite what you like? Wish that it could understand your preferences implicitly? Our latest work from @convai_uiuc, Unsupervised Human Preference Learning (now accepted to the EMNLP 2024 main conference), offers a novel, decoupled solution to the alignment
- Check out this work on conversational agents from the ConvAI lab! 🔥Ever felt that agents that “just follow orders” often fall short, especially when critical details are on the line? In our latest work, we introduce ReSpAct—an approach that transforms agents into true conversational partners🌐 vardhandongre.github.io/respact-llm/ 🧵 [1/n]
