Research Seminar by Prof. Timothy Baldwin – Fact-checking Language Models

We are excited to invite you to an upcoming research seminar titled “Fact-checking Language Models: Generating the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth”, presented by Prof. Timothy Baldwin, Provost at Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. The event will take place on Monday, December 16, 2024, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM at I201 – Peace Room, VinUniversity.

The seminar will explore the critical issue of hallucination in language models (LMs), a phenomenon where outputs are not grounded in truth. Prof. Baldwin will share insights into the causes of hallucinations, methods to reduce them through modified inferencing, and approaches to improve and evaluate uncertainty quantification in LMs. Following the seminar, attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about research and graduate opportunities available for VinUniversity students.

Prof. Baldwin is a leading expert in Natural Language Processing and AI safety, with over 500 peer-reviewed publications. In addition to his role at MBZUAI, he is a Melbourne Laureate Professor at The University of Melbourne and Chief Scientist at LibrAI. With an impressive academic and research background, Prof. Baldwin’s work has been supported by renowned organizations like Google, Microsoft, and ByteDance, making him one of the foremost figures in AI research today.
