Keynote 5: Large Language Models for NLP applications and beyond

    by Prof. Nguyen Le Minh, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST).

    Abstract

    Large language model families, including ChatGPT, demonstrate very high performance and have made significant breakthroughs in real-world applications. In this talk, we would like to highlight the core technology used to build large language models and discuss the growing trend of utilizing these models in various NLP applications. Furthermore, we will delve into the potential issues associated with using such models, focusing on topics like bias, security, and privacy. In the final part of my talk, we will showcase our current deep learning-based techniques for analyzing legal documents. Additionally, we will discuss our system's exceptional performance in the Competition on Legal Information Extraction/Entailment, where we achieved outstanding results.
