  • How to InterText? Elevating NLP to cross document level

    How to InterText? Elevating NLP to cross document level

     

    About the talk: 

    While modern language models do a great job at finding documents, extracting information from them and generating naturally sounding language, the progress in helping humans read, connect, and make sense of interrelated long texts has been very much limited.

    Funded by the European Research Council, the InterText project brings natural language processing (NLP) forward by developing a general framework for modeling and analyzing fine-grained relationships between texts – intertextual relationships. This crucial milestone for AI would allow tracing the origin and evolution of texts and ideas and enable a new generation of AI applications for text work and critical reading.

    This talk will elaborate their intertextual approach to NLP using the scientific domain as a prototypical, challenging application area. Specifically, they will highlight two lines of our work. The first one is related to task design, practical applications and intricacies of data collection in the peer-review domain. The second one is about scientific text generation targeting (i) citation text and (ii) attitude and theme-guided rebuttals. To conclude, they will briefly describe our ongoing efforts towards fine-grained linking of multiple documents, temporal analysis of scientific datasets and research novelty modeling.

  • ELLIS Board Members discuss the future of AI in Brussels

    ELLIS Board Members discuss the future of AI in Brussels

    Among the speakers and panelists of the workshop in January were the German Federal Minister of Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger, the French Minister for Higher Education and Research Sylvie Retailleau, the Undersecretary of State at the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education Andrzej Szeptycki, as well as representatives from the EU and AI research institutions in Europe. ELLIS was represented by President Bernhard Schölkopf and Board Member Florence d'Alché-Buc, and referred to by multiple other speakers, including German State Secretary Sabine Döring and the Polish representative Andrzej Szeptycki.

    “Too many research programs at national and European levels go in the same direction and create a funding jungle instead of a coordinated program. In order to be attractive to top researchers from all over the world, we therefore need an overarching and networked European initiative”, highlights Sabine Döring. “Our aim is to work with our partners in Europe to create a platform as a contact point for top researchers from all over the world in order to actively promote this idea”, she adds.

    During the high-level meeting, discussions centered around opportunities for organizing, distributing, and financing AI infrastructures at both the European and EU member state levels. The group also explored ideas for jointly promoting young international AI talent in Europe – a topic that is a strategic priority for ELLIS. With the ELLIS PhD Program, the network has implemented a competitive pan-European PhD program aimed at attracting and retaining outstanding young researchers from around the world.

    ELLIS PhD students benefit from joint supervision in the European ELLIS network

    The ELLIS representatives provided insights into the program and outlined its potential for facilitating PhD training in Europe: Since its inception in 2020, the program has attracted more than 7,000 applications from all over the world, around 300 of which successfully secured a PhD position in the program. ELLIS PhD students benefit from joint supervision by two leading AI researchers at different institutions in Europe and are integrated into an international network of top scientists early in their careers. European cooperation is essential for the program: In the challenge of attracting international talent, many European institutions face difficulty when acting alone. ELLIS, however, offers a significant added value by leveraging its extensive research network for the joint training of doctoral students. Moreover, the program’s central application portal has proven to be a key success factor, as it allows PhD candidates to reach many European top AI labs with just a single application.

    “The IDEAS institute in Warsaw has just founded an ELLIS unit, following a rigorous selection process where international reviewers got convinced that the unit will make a major contribution towards strategically developing the ELLIS network. This further extends our talent base, and we are happy to invite Poland to join France and Germany to develop the ELLIS PhD Program into the leading international networking platform for AI talent”, says Bernhard Schölkopf.

    BMBF established ELLIS as an international networking platform for young AI researchers
