@socalnlp Thank you organizers! Especially @qinyuan_ye @christinachanc @MMonajatipoor @BrihiJ @Wade_Yin9712 Behind-the-scenes student organizers don't get as much time to enjoy the amazing networking, sharing, and learning opportunities that their own volunteering enables! Thank you all!

Our last speaker, Dan Roth, talked about understanding how LLMs *reason* (+ how defining reasoning in this age is very complex!) Fun Part? 😂 Dan shows how LLMs are still not able to plan and reason, by showing how LLMs are not able to address LA’s parking situation 🚨

Next, we have the amazing @tatsu_hashimoto, talking about how to probe and understand black-box LMs better! 🙌🏼 What we loved? How @tatsu_hashimoto highlighted that we know *very* little about these LLMs that we love and use 🤔 #SoCalNLP2023 #NLProc

According to csrankings.org, this is the most concentrated NLP summit ever! SoCal NLP publications easily outnumber any other university by a factor of two!
