Lab getaway: Local edition. 🇫🇮 We skipped the long flights and chose to search for the local gems instead. The logic was simple: Why go to Paris if you can go to Turku? Why go to the Vatican if you can go to Humppila? #TurkuNLP #UTU

Väitöskirjatutkijamme Amanda Myntti tutkii, miten tekstien tietyt kielelliset ominaisuudet vaikuttavat kielimallien piirteisiin. Hänen mukaansa on olennaista kiinnittää huomiota siihen, millaisella datalla kielimalli on koulutettu. 👉 Lue Myntin puheenvuoro: www.utu.fi/fi/ajankohta...

Koneoppimismallit oppivat tunnistamaan erilaisia tekstilajeja niiden kielellisten piirteiden perusteella. Tämän havaitsi FM Liina Repo, jonka väitöskirja tarkastetaan pe 30.1. Lämpimät onnittelut väittelijälle! 🎩 #väitös #tutkimus #tiede #tekoäly #koneoppiminen #AI #tekoäly tinyurl.com/2kn83usj

Our recent paper on the impact of register (genre) on LLM performance. Key points: news do poor in evaluation, while opinionated texts are among the best. We hope this work can be used to understand the impact of register on LLMs and improve training data mixes! arxiv.org/abs/2504.01542
