Women's History Month Documentary Screening
The Life and Times of Laskarina Bouboulina
Join the Women's Center in celebrating Women's History Month at a special screening of Dr. April Householder's documentary film The Brave Stepped Back: The Life and Times of Laskarina Bouboulina.
"[Laskarina] is the first woman in world naval history to have earned the title of Admiral for her command of the Spetses fleet in crucial naval battles. Her life represents an alternative history to the masculinist and nationalistic depictions of the Greek War of Independence, as told in both Greek and philhellenic literatures."
March 6th 12-2 PM
AOK Library Gallery (1st floor to the left of the security gates)
Refreshments will be provided!
We look forward to having you with us as we celebrate Women's History Month, and Dr. Householder's contribution to feminist scholarship.
For more information on Women's History Month and our other events, please check the Women's Center myUMBC page and follow them on Instagram @womencenterumbc
Have a great weekend Retrievers!

Talk: Event Reasoning with Large Language Models, Tue 3/5
2:15-3:15 pm ET Tue. March 5, 2024 in ITE325b & online
Structured Event Reasoning with Large Language Models
University of Pennsylvania
2:15-3:15 pm ET March 5, 2024
Reasoning about real-life events is a unifying challenge in AI and NLP that has profound utility in a variety of domains, while any fallacy in high-stake applications like law, medicine, and science could be catastrophic. Able to work with diverse text in these domains, large language models (LLMs) have proven capable of answering questions and solving problems. In this talk, I demonstrate that end-to-end LLMs still systematically fail on reasoning tasks of complex events. Moreover, their black-box nature gives rise to little interpretability and user control. To address these issues, I propose two general approaches to use LLMs in conjunction with a structured representation of events. The first is a language-based representation involving relations of sub-events that can be learned by LLMs via fine-tuning. The second is a symbolic representation involving states of entities that can be leveraged by either LLMs or deterministic solvers. On a suite of event reasoning tasks, I show that both approaches outperform end-to-end LLMs in terms of performance and trustworthiness.
Li "Harry" Zhang is a 5th-year PhD student working on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania advised by Prof. Chris Callison-Burch. He earned his Bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan mentored by Prof. Rada Mihalcea and Prof. Dragomir Radev. He has published more than 20 papers in NLP conferences that have been cited more than 1,000 times. He has reviewed more than 50 papers in those venues and has served as Session Chair and Program Chair in many conferences and workshops. Being a musician, producer, content creator of over 50,000 subscribers, he is also passionate in the research of AI music.
