Perspectives in A.I. Seminar: 
Prof. Dr. Scott Sanner, to talk about “Symbolic AI 3.0: Rise of the LLMs”

Abstract:

Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT have emerged as a revolutionary technology for natural language reasoning and numerous related AI applications. I’ll discuss some of my group’s own work on abstract reasoning and interactive conversational systems leveraging LLMs and the game-changing realizations that I have taken away from these investigations. This talk will then discuss some general implications of the LLM era and my conjectures as to how it will shift research foci in the near future and enable levels of user-facing AI deployment that were unthinkable just two years ago.
