Title: Perspectives on Prompting

Abstract: Natural language processing is in a state of flux. I will talk about three recent papers appearing in ACL and EMNLP conferences that are a zeitgeist of the current uncertainty of direction. First, I will talk about a paper that evaluated the responses of large language models to domain questions. Then, I will talk about a paper that used prompting to study the language of the Federal Reserve Board. Last, I will discuss a new paper on identifying generated content in Wikipedia. In addition, I will highlight a mega-paper I was involved in about prompting.

Bio: Denis Peskoff just finished a postdoc at Princeton University working with Professor Brandon Stewart. He completed his PhD in computer science at the University of Maryland with Professor Jordan Boyd-Graber and a bachelor’s degree at the Georgetown School of Foreign Service. His research has incorporated domain experts—leading board game players, Federal Reserve Board members, doctors, scientists—to solve natural language processing challenges.
