Seminars

Despite massive investments in training large language models, tokenizers remain a critical but often neglected component with weaknesses that can cause wild hallucinations, bypass safety guardrails, and break downstream applications. This talk will cover:

*Abstract* Foundation models allow the rapid evaluation of downstream tasks with task-specific training. In recent months, it has become increasingly possible to use off-the-shelf coding AIs to write even moderately complex code.

The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a type of decision problem with several equivalent formulations. Its original definition was inspired by considerations in Descriptive Complexity, and represents a large part (in some sense) of the class NP.

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a key paradigm for enabling collaborative and privacy-preserving machine learning across distributed data sources.

Dashboards are a critical part of your observability stack. Looking at your dashboards—are they actually helping you understand the system? When well-designed, they surface intuitive information and help quickly diagnose outages.

As governments move to regulate AI, there is growing interest in using Large Language Models (LLMs) to assess whether or not an AI system complies with a given AI Regulation (AIR). However, there is presently no way to benchmark the performance of LLMs at this task.

Companies need reliable emission data for their products and services to take effective climate action, yet obtaining it is challenging. In today's interconnected economy, product and service carbon footprints (PCF) cannot be determined in isolation but require emission data exchange throughout supply chains.

By 2050, older adults will make up about 22% of the global population, driving an urgent need for accessible and reliable health technologies. In this talk, I will present our work on intelligent mobile systems designed for older adults.
