What if your multimodal model succeeds when given nonsensical instructions? What if it even succeeds without being told explicitly what to do? Have we finally achieved AGI? We answer at least two of those questions w/ @NikVits @ale_suglia @sinantie (๐Ÿงตfor more)

Are you using LLMs for evaluating your model? You might want to read our paper where we present JUDGE-BENCH. See the thread below and the associated paper on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2406.18403 Fantastic collaboration effort with many @ELLISforEurope members!

1/5 ๐Ÿ“ฃ Excited to share โ€œLLMs instead of Human Judges? A Large Scale Empirical Study across 20 NLP Evaluation Tasksโ€! arxiv.org/abs/2406.18403 ๐Ÿš€ We introduce JUDGE-BENCH, a benchmark to investigate to what extent LLM-generated judgements align with human evaluations. #NLProc

It has been wonderful collaborating with my friends at @HeriotWattUni 's Interaction Lab (@iLab_hwu). Thanks! In January, I submitted my PhD thesis titled: "Incremental Multi-party Conversational AI for People with Dementia" Luckily, even the sun came out for graduation day โ˜€๏ธ
Congratulations to artificial intelligence graduate John-Angus Addlesee, who is the third generation of his family following his father and grandfather to study at Heriot-Watt University. ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ‘ #HeriotWattUni #HWUGrads

Thrilled to get this paper out, a great collaboration with @UCL_VoCoLab, @Addlesee_AI and @verena_rieser on how self-bias and sense of agency over a voice is altered when that voice is used to represent oneself in a social interaction.
Self-ownership, not self-production, modulates bias and agency over a synthesised voice ๐Ÿ“ขNew from: Bryony Payne, Angus Addlesee, Verena Rieser, & Carolyn McGettigan sciencedirect.com/science/arโ€ฆ

Thanks to everyone who helped at our @EdSciFest event yesterday 'Two Truths and A Robot Lie', including scifest team, @NRobotarium, @HWEngage, and @AdamSmithHouse. The event was a big success engaging the public with the history of Adam Smith, and the science of #robots and #AI
