I visited @uni-bamberg.de this week to give a Bamberg Center for AI lecture, and had the opportunity to meet many brilliant researchers, thanks for the invitation @bamnlp.de, @bamdial.bsky.social and BaCAI committee

[email protected] visited @uni-bamberg.de to present her perspective on #labelvariation in natural language processing. A very inspiring talk, from which our #NLProc groups @bamnlp.de and @bamdial.bsky.social as well as groups working on other modalities learned a lot. Thanks, Barbara!

Tomorrow I'll give my inaugural lecture @uni-bamberg.de – if you don't know what language technology #nlproc is, and want to know what @bamnlp.de works on, please feel invited! If you can't make it at 6pm to Weberei 5 in Bamberg ("Erba Campus"), send me a message and I'll share a streaming link.

On his way to #ACL2025, Saif Mohammad (x.com/SaifMMohammad) made a stop @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de to give a very inspiring talk on "NLP for Affective Sciences".
A recording of the talk is available at youtu.be/LYC6gDJMwac

Thanks for visiting us! #NLP #NLProc

Last week, we've been on a retreat to talk about the big picture of our research, research ideas, and synergies between group members – and did some team building.
@annefriedrich.bsky.social
was our external guest and helped us out of a couple of local optima. Thank you for participating!

We are really happy about this new collaboration, in which we use our experience with #LLM models for automatic text simplification in #psychology research.

Choose-a-chair fair at the computer science faculty @uni-bamberg.de – we presented our courses and theses topics to our students (with Sean Papay, @multilingual-s.bsky.social and @romanklinger.de).
A group of three people is posing in front of a research poster titled "Fundamentals of Natural Language Processing." The poster contains sections on research focus, research methods, and possible thesis topics. The individuals are standing in an indoor academic or conference setting with other attendees visible in the background. One person is wearing a casual t-shirt with cartoon illustrations, another is in a button-up shirt, and the third is dressed in a dark sweater. The setting includes modern lighting and furniture, with a red couch and a yellow chair visible on the left side of the image.

Today, Eyke Hüllermeier gave a talk in our BACAI lecture series, on uncertainty quantification in machine learning. The main message was the difference between inherent randomness and a lack of knowledge: aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.
