The Dynamics of Perception and Action: From Pedestrian Interactions to Collective Behavior
It’s a perplexing time in the study of visual perception. On the one hand, there is a resurgence of models that freely posit a priori structure in the visual system, including priors, generative world models, and physics engines. On the other hand, there is the astonishing a posteriori success of deep neural networks trained only on natural images and image sequences.
Measuring Political Bias in Large Language Models
The TU Berlin (NLP in Berlin / Emmy Noether series) invites you to this talk: Dr. Röttger will outline the challenges in evaluating political bias in LLMs and introduce IssueBench, a newly developed dataset designed for robust and realistic bias assessment.
*Data collected from 2020 onwards.
