Reaching out to ask for your support with a study we're conducting. We're evaluating the human-friendliness of explanations generated by various techniques e.g. eXplainable AI & LLMs. The survey takes ~5 minutes and does not require any expert knowledge. survey.auth.gr/index.php/6697…

Last week, I had the chance to present "MELTint point: Mobile Evaluations of Language Transformers" at IETF 120 PEARG & ES-FoMo@ICML'24. This is the first on-device evaluation of LLMs performance, energy and thermal behaviour across devices. Full paper to appear at MobiCom'24.
