Dear colleague,
We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology
webinar series organized by the HiTZ Chair of AI< (https://hitz.eus).
This is the final webinar for this academic year. We will return with
another series of webinars next fall, so be sure to stay tuned!
Next webinar:
Speaker: Mirella Lapata (The University of Edinburgh)
Title: Prompting is *not* all you need! Or why Multi-LLM Collaboration
Matters
Date: Thursday, June 5, 2025 - 15:00 CET
Summary: Recent years have witnessed the rise of increasingly larger and
more sophisticated language models (LMs) capable of performing every
task imaginable, sometimes at (super)human level. In this talk, I will
argue that in many realistic scenarios solely relying on a single
general-purpose LLM is suboptimal. A single LLM is likely to
under-represent real-world data distributions, heterogeneous skills, and
task-specific requirements. Instead, I will discuss Multi-LLM
collaboration as an alternative for compositional generative modeling.
This approach leads to more effective problem-solving while being more
inclusive and explainable. I will focus on narrative story generation
tasks and demonstrate how these can be tackled by orchestrating a
society of agents --- each pursuing individual goals while collectively
working toward the overall task objective. Additionally, I will explore
how these agent societies leverage reasoning to improve performance.
Bio: Mirella Lapata is professor of natural language processing in the
School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Her research
focuses on getting computers to understand, reason with, and generate
natural language. She is the first recipient (2009) of the British
Computer Society and Information Retrieval Specialist Group (BCS/IRSG)
Karen Sparck Jones award and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,
the ACL, and Academia Europaea. Mirella has also received best paper
awards in leading NLP conferences and has served on the editorial boards
of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, the Transactions of
the ACL, and Computational Linguistics. She was president of SIGDAT (the
group that organizes EMNLP) in 2018. She has been awarded an ERC
consolidator grant, a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award, and a
UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship.
