Lea Krause PhD candidate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam The project addresses the critical need for cultural diversity in multilingual datasets used to train and evaluate language models and conversational agents. Current practices often involve translating English-centric content, which limits the cultural authenticity and applicability of these datasets across different regions. For example, evaluating models using […]

Zakaria Abdelmoiz Dahi Researcher-Lecturer Quantum computation is based on quantum mechanics principles, which allows it to gain a computational speedup over its classical counterpart, especially in combinatorial optimisation. The Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithm (QAOA) is a recent and promising quantum optimisation technique. It is expressed as a parameterisable quantum circuit whose parameters control its efficiency.

Alexander Hepburn Postdoc at University of Bristol Perceptual distances model a distance between two images, and are often designed to replicate certain processes in the human visual system, or optimised to mimic the decisions in a set of human perceptual judgements. Assuming Barlows hypothesis, that the brain seeks to minimise the amount of redundant information

Stefanie Baade Deputy Managing Director at German AI Association Presentation of the German AI Association’s efforts to build a European LLM ecosystem. The development of strong, competitive LLMs ‘made in Europe’ often fails due to the necessary access to compute time. Instead, we rely heavily on providers in China and the US. A strong European
