LLM+XAI Reading Group

· 3 min read

In this reading group, each person presents a paper on a topic in LLMs or XAI that he or she wanted to learn any way (since teaching is one of the best ways to learn the topic). Preparing slides is not mandatory; one can just share the paper on a screen. The meetings will take place on Zoom.

I limited the scope of the topic to LLMs and XAI, because

  1. They are (still) important (and 🔥)
  2. Limiting the scope allows us to focus and perhaps even collaborate on a paper.
  3. I like these topics

Potential topics would be:

LLM-related: LLM reasoning, LLMs and causality, LLM evaluation, LLM training, RLHF, RLAIF, applications of LLMs in robotics and other areas, explaining LLMs, LLMs as agents, new LLM architectures (e.g., state-space models), vision-language models (VLMs) …

XAI-related: Novel XAI methods (e.g., mechanistic interpretability), XAI evaluation, applications of XAI, explainable RL, LLMs for XAI, human-centered XAI, …
