Check out Oliver's paper on learning new knowledge and resolving knowledge conflicts in LLMs! Surprising finding: conditioning on self-generated contexts during training gives massive performance gains! We are excited to extend this ideas to other domains!

I am happy to announce that my first-author paper has been accepted to ACL 2025 Main! 🇦🇹 arxiv.org/abs/2502.16757 We tackle natural language-first-order logic translation (NL2FOL) using reinforcement learning with NLI labels as rewards. (1/7)

📣 Life update: I'm joining the University of Cambridge this fall as an Assistant Professor and as a Fellow in Computer Science at King's College, Cambridge. Excited to (re)join the Cambridge University community!

Privacy Ripple Effects has been accepted to the Findings of ACL 2025! 🎉 #ACL2025

🎉Our paper “HotelMatch-LLM: Joint Multi-Task Training of Small and Large Language Models for Efficient Multimodal Hotel Retrieval” has been accepted into #ACL2025 (main). The result of my internship at Booking with Emmanouil Stergiadis, Ilya Gusev & Moran Beladev

Pleased to share that two papers were accepted to #ACL2025 main! Huge congratulations to all collaborators for the hard work and time we put in together! Both works study the multi-model collaboration. I’ll leave it to Dongwei Jiang to share more about his first-author paper:

I don't believe there's any African working in the ML space who doesn't know about Huggingface. Building and adapting models is not as easy as it seems because we have a data problem but regardless of this problem, we are building and adapting models for our own use case.
