Thank you for having me!

❓ Can we align large language models without hyperparameters? The answer is SimPER! 🚀 Excited to share our ICLR paper: SimPER: A Minimalist Approach to Preference Alignment without Hyperparameters! 🎯 SimPER eliminates the need for complex tuning and reference models,

Very pleased to host the next #SIGIR Virtual Forum Talk by Shiguang Wu Work received Honorable Mention Award ACM SIGIR 2024 Free registration, please sign up here: forms.gle/RRbyuN433ko2N6… Suzan Verberne 🤹‍♀️ Charlie Clarke Bhaskar Mitra | ভাস্কর মিত্র Negar Arabzadeh Zhaochun Ren

Shiguang Shiguang Wu will present our work about generative retrieval at the #SIGIR Virtual Forum, which received the Honorable Mention Award at #SIGIR2024.

🚀 Incredible news! Our SimPER accepted by ICLR 2025 has been used as the training algorithm in a recent paper EXAONE Deep: Reasoning Enhanced Language Models (arxiv.org/pdf/2503.12524) from LG AI—and their open model achieved better and competitive performance compared to QwQ

…and the next ECIR will be in Delft, The Netherlands! See you at #Ecir2026 Avishek Anand

ECIR 2025 was a great success. Hoping to make a memorable #ECIR2026 with the dream team of Suzan Verberne 🤹‍♀️ and Zhaochun Ren … We will be preparing to welcoming all of us to Delft.
