This is a Zoom-only meeting starting at 6:30 PM Central Std. Time.

Over the past 5 years, large language models (LLMs) have gone from struggling with elementary school math to acing college math and science exams.  How did we get here, and what's coming next?

Eric Price of University of Texas at Austin

Topic:

Where is AI headed? A brief summary in research progress in large language models.

 

Over the past 5 years, large language models (LLMs) have gone from struggling with elementary school math to acing college math and science exams.  How did we get here, and what's coming next?

Biography:

Eric Price is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin since the Fall of 2014.  Eric was awarded a Ph D degree from MIT in 2013.  He was a post-doc at the  Simon Institute for the Theory of Computing in UC Berkeley from 2013 to 2014. He also served as a visiting scientist for Microsoft AI, Google, OpenAI and IBM Research over the years.

Research

Eric’s research explores the fundamental limits of data-limited computational problems. How efficiently can we recover signals from noisy samples? And how much space do we need to compute functions of large data streams? His work has given algorithms with tight, or near-tight, sample complexities for a variety of such problems, along with corresponding lower bounds.
