[Asher Trockman]

Dear all,

We look forward to seeing you *tomorrow, this Tuesday (5/17)* from
*1**2:00-1:00
PM (U.S. Eastern time)* for the next talk of our *CMU AI seminar*,
sponsored by Morgan Stanley
<https://www.morganstanley.com/about-us/technology/>.

*Tomorrow* (5/17), *Machel Reid *(U. Tokyo) will be giving a talk
titled *"**Incorporating Text
Editing in Natural Language Processing**".*

*Title*: Incorporating Text Editing in Natural Language Processing

*Talk Abstract*: Most current text generation applications in NLP use fully
autoregressive modelling, a notable example of this being the models in the
GPT series. However, most original content (e.g. art, books, articles,
source code) is developed not in a single iteration, but in many iterations
with each more refined than the last. In other words, revising and editing
are a central part of the human creative workflow. Given this, in this talk
I will talk about ideas for trying to bridge this disconnect by
incorporating text editing into standard natural language processing as
well as my work associated with various aspects of editing.

*Speaker Bio*: Machel Reid is a researcher at the University of Tokyo
working on natural language processing. He has worked on multilinguality,
primarily focusing on low-resource languages and multilinguality
pre-training. He is currently under the supervision of Yutaka Matsuo, and
has been an intern at Carnegie Mellon University under the supervision of
Graham Neubig. He is also an incoming PhD Student at the University of
Washington advised by Luke Zettlemoyer and Noah Smith.
