Key Players in NLP for 2023

Today we continue our AI Trends 2023 series joined by Sameer Singh, an associate professor in the department of computer science at UC Irvine and fellow at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2). In our conversation with Sameer, we focus on the latest and greatest advancements and developments in the field of NLP, starting out with one that took the internet by storm just a few short weeks ago, ChatGPT. We also explore top themes like decomposed reasoning, causal modeling in NLP, and the need for “clean” data. We also discuss projects like HuggingFace’s BLOOM, the debacle that was the Galactica demo, the impending intersection of LLMs and search, use cases like Copilot, and of course, we get Sameer’s predictions for what will happen this year in the field.
