Thrilled to kick off the Language + Molecules Workshop with an insightful talk by Kyunghyun Cho! We dove into designing novel proteins, tackling the intricacies of multi-objective drug optimization, balancing computation with experimentation, and the power of lab-in-the-loop design.

Kyunghyun Cho An interesting point: the most interesting academic research problems are not always the most challenging problems we need to solve for real-world impact! #ACL2024

My lab will move to NYU Data Science and NYU Courant this Fall! I’m excited to connect with amazing researchers at CILVR and larger ML/NLP community in NYC. I will be recruiting students this cycle at NYU. Happy to be back to the city 🗽on the east coast as well. I had a

Amazing timing 🎉 Looking forward to it for a long time!! Exactly what I needed when designing my first NLP class. Thanks Dan Jurafsky !

Congratulations to Professor Manling Li and the Siebel School of Computing and Data Science team for earning an #ACL2024 Outstanding Paper award for "Word Embeddings Are Steers for Language Models"! The work aims to steer LLMs towards desired stances and intentions. Read the paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.12798

Here is a biography I wrote about my PhD advisor Ralph Grishman, who recently won the ACL ACL 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award -- along with some history of Information Extraction research. 👉 cocoxu.github.io/files/Biograph… #ACL2024nlp
