Last week, we've been on a retreat to talk about the big picture of our research, research ideas, and synergies between group members – and did some team building.
@annefriedrich.bsky.social

Just came home from an awesome three-day retreat with the BamNLP group of @romanklinger.de. We talked about uncertainty in NLP, modeling emotions, and knowledge editing. Thank you for making me feel so welcome! I immensely enjoyed hanging out at a Bavarian Caribbean beach with you, BamNLP!

Illustration of the components of PEDANTIC: patent text, span annotations for writing issues such as Antecedent Basis or Undefined Term. Binary and Multi-Label Tasks, as well as applying an LLM for pair-wise reason judgments.
Ever wondered how effective LLMs are on detecting problems with formulating patents? Our paper on the new dataset PEDANTIC has just been accepted to PatentSemTech 2025 @ SIGIR 2025 in Padua, Italy. Really proud of Valentin Knappich. Find the prepint here: arxiv.org/abs/2505.21342
