"Collega’s op de VUB worden overspoeld door generieke motivatiebrieven van aspirant-doctoraatsstudenten, geschreven met ChatGPT. Waar is het kritische denken naartoe?" Tim Brys (verbonden aan het #AI Lab van de VUB) in een brief aan De Standaard standaard.be/cnt/dmf2024030…

‘Als we willen dat onze studenten generatieve AI competent en verantwoord kunnen gebruiken op de werkvloer, dan zullen een gedegen domeinkennis, goede taalvaardigheid en grondige kennis van de wetenschappelijke methode nog steeds de basisuitrusting van de master moeten blijven’

‘Studeren zonder ChatGPT, daarna verstandiger werken met’ - Opiniestuk met Katrien Beuls en Tim Brys ن knack.be/nieuws/belgie/…

Happy to share our forthcoming paper on learning computational construction grammars, where we lay out the state of the art and propose a roadmap for future research (to appear in Constructions and Frames)! arxiv.org/abs/2407.07606 Itec, an imec research group at KU Leuven UNamur - Faculté d'Informatique Artificial Intelligence Lab Brussels

Learning construction grammars as syntactico-semantic generalisations over utterance-meaning pairs. Proud to share our paper published today in Royal Society Open Science (with Jonas Doumen and Katrien Beuls)! doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… Itec, an imec research group at KU Leuven UNamur - Faculté d'Informatique Artificial Intelligence Lab Brussels

'Humans Learn Language from Situated Communicative Interactions. What about Machines?' Just accepted for publication in Computational Linguistics with Paul Van Eecke doi.org/10.1162/coli_a… UNamur - Faculté d'Informatique Artificial Intelligence Lab Brussels #LLMs #constructiongrammar

Humans learn language by taking part in situated communicative interactions. Machines most often don't. And that matters a lot! Discover why in our latest Computational Linguistics article!

Must-read!

👏Congratulations to our brand new Doctor Jonas Doumen for obtaining his 🎓#PhD on "Meaning Matters: Syntactico-Semantic Generalisation Operators for Learning Computational Construction Grammars"✅shorturl.at/N0dsM

💡 Researcher in the spotlight💡 Jonas Doumen recently defended his PhD at KU Leuven Kulak. We talked to Jonas, who delved into the world of ​Learning Computational Construction Grammars under the supervision of prof. Piet Desmet and prof. Paul Van Eecke shorturl.at/hvgct

Open PhD position SCK CEN x Artificial Intelligence Lab Brussels! "Development of Safe and Secure AI Models for Nuclear Decommissioning Information Management." Real-world multimodal data - close collaboration w. nuclear engineers - critical application - exciting PhD! #NLProc sckcen.be/en/thesis-and-…

Everybody in AI should read this: a very interesting article from Katrien Beuls and Paul Van Eecke, which presents an alternative and exciting approach to language learning compared to LLMs: direct.mit.edu/coli/article/5…

Curious about the historical ties and continued mutual influence between the fields of Construction Grammar and Artificial Intelligence? Read our chapter "Construction Grammar and Artificial Intelligence" in the Cambridge Handbook of Construction Grammar! (with Katrien Beuls) #NLProc

As you query LLMs on more and more complex problems that you could handle yourself but decide to delegate, there is an interesting trade-off that I've not seen discussed: the more complex the problem, the longer it will take you to check the response of the LLM (typically, on
