Two Upcoming Events

I have two upcoming events to share:

NLP4CALL Workshop

I will present my paper “Semantic Error Prediction: Estimating Word Production Complexity” (co-authored with Paula Buttery) at this year’s NLP4CALL workshop. The presentation is this Friday 25th of October 2024.

The paper is already available online. It argues that lexical semantic complexity in production hat its own distinct patterns and proposed semantic error prediction (SEP) as a task to estimate this kind of complexity. I build some baseline models for this task, including one using LLama2 and also provide a downstream application as an example.

If you are interested in SEP, I provide the scripts for re-creating my dataset as a github repo.

If you have any issues and questions, feel free to email me!

Barcelona Masterclass

On the 7th of November 2024, I will hold a masterclass on LLMs for philosophers in Barcelona. At this event, I will introduce LLMs in more depth without requiring any deeper mathematical or programming knowledge (no linear algebra or Python). I hope to put up some of the materials online at a later date.
