Glad to organise 3 tasks at FIRE-2024 @fire_forum.
Please participate or spread the word.
ILSUM: Detect misinformed news summaries.
IRSE: Are code comments useful? Is LLM-generated code trustworthy?
SqCLIR: CLIR on spoken queries.

My course "Recent Advances on Foundation Models" at Waterloo is public. Check out cs.uwaterloo.ca/~wenhuche/te….
In the course, we cover lots of interesting topics including transformers, LLM, pre-training, quantization, sparse attention, instruction tuning, RLHF, prompting, Vision transformers, diffusion models, multimodal models, agents, RAG, etc.
I will continue to upload the slides (ppt) to the website. Some of them will also have recorded videos soon. There are already 12 lecture slides available now. These slides are made by the awesome attendees of the course.
