P1 Guest Talk on Natural Language Processing and Prompts

Title 

O brave new world, that has such prompts in it

 

Abstract

Natural language processing is in a state of flux.  I will talk about three recent papers appearing in ACL and EMNLP conferences that are a zeitgeist of the current uncertainty of direction.  First, I will talk about a paper that evaluated the responses of large language models to domain questions.  Then, I will talk about a paper that used prompting to study the language of the Federal Reserve Board.  Last, I will discuss current work on identifying generated content.  In addition, I will highlight a mega-paper I was involved in about prompting.
