We are thrilled to have hosted the esteemed Prof.
Aline Villavicencio from the University of Exeter UK and Prof. Adriana Pagano from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Brazil at our
ITUNLP lab at Istanbul as part of the EU UniDive COST Action CA 21167 Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM).
Prof. Villavicencio’s session on "Testing the Language Limits of Large Language Models: The strange case of the idiomatic eager beaver in cloud nine" and Prof. Pagano’s talk on "Multilingual, cross-lingual and translingual approaches to idiomatic expressions" sparked rich discussions and advanced our understanding of language and AI.
We are grateful to all attendees for their participation and to our guests for sharing their expertise. Looking forward to future collaborations and continuing to explore new frontiers in natural language processing and multilingual research!
