Bloomberg social event at #SIGIR2022 ! Tech At Bloomberg

Stop by our #SIGIR2022 booth to talk with our #AI researchers & engineers about how they tailored #opensource #informationretrieval technologies & built #questionanswering systems from scratch to help Bloomberg's clients find the information they need, when they need it #NLProc

Edgar Meij will deliver a keynote address on Modelling and Quantifying Uncertainty in Economic Indicators. Given his role at Bloomberg this will provide a great insight into the cutting-edge computer science methods used to analyse economic indicators!

Today (9:15 AM BST), Edgar Meij, Head of Bloomberg's #AI Engineering's Search & Discovery group, will deliver Social Informatics 2022 (#SocInfo22)'s Opening Keynote about "Modelling and Quantifying Uncertainty in Economic Indicators" bloom.bg/3fXtWNR #NLProc #MLinFinance #ML #socinfo22

A bit late, but happy to say that our (me, Saher Esmeir and Edgar Meij) paper. "Entity Retrieval from Multilingual Knowledge Graphs" was accepted @mrl2022_emnlp!!

During the poster session of today's Multilingual Representation Learning (MRL) Workshop at #EMNLP2022, #AI researchers Saher Esmeir, TU Delft's Arthur Câmara & our Edgar Meij are presenting their paper "Entity Retrieval from Multilingual Knowledge Graphs" bloom.bg/3Bf6dAD

Very excited to present our tutorial "Neuro-Symbolic Representations for Information Retrieval" with Laura Dietz, Hannah Bast, Jeff Dalton, Edgar Meij, and Arjen de Vries at ECIR 2023. 🥳 See everyone in Dublin next year!

Meet #BloombergGPT 👋🏻 This 50-billion parameter #LargeLanguageModel was purpose-built from scratch for #finance using a unique mix of Bloomberg's #data and public datasets to support financial #NLProc tasks. bloom.bg/42R9ySC #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLMs #ML #GPT

Now at #ECIR2023, Dr. Jochen L. Leidner (AI professor/advisor) talking about “Automatic Summarization of Financial Earnings Calls Transcripts” and finds that a (carbon-friendly!) grep-based approach outperforms a BERT-based model in terms of precision, recall not so much :).

Today ECIR 2023, Edgar Meij, our Head of #AI Search, will present two parts of the full-day "Neuro-Symbolic Representations for #InformationRetrieval" tutorial he organized with L. Dietz @[email protected] @[email protected], Hannah Bast, Jeff Dalton, Shubham Chatterjee | শুভম চ্যাটার্জী |, & @[email protected] 🕊️🇺🇦 bloom.bg/3UcWbbC #ECIR2023

What is the best way to use language models for ranking tasks, such as "rank the following countries by size: 🇺🇸,🇨🇳,🇨🇦,🇷🇺"? We study pairwise, pointwise and listwise prompting as well as unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking (CCR): preprint arxiv.org/pdf/2309.06991… ⬇️ thread

And, finally, a big shoutout to my rockstar co-chair Tao Ye, it was a pleasure to work together!

Meet me and our AI Engineering group, and learn more about our day-to-day 👋 . Oh and we're hiring! 🚀

Look what I found! After 30 years in a box, it's the 16M (that's meg, not gig) flash card that I used to write the Format dialog back in the early Windows days. There was no practical virtual disk software at the time, at least that I was aware of, and formatting a physical
