CLSP Fall Seminar Series: Jieyu Zhao

Description

Jieyu Zhao, an assistant professor of Computer Science Department at the University of Southern California, will present a Center for Language and Speech Processing seminar titled "Trustworthy LLMs—Our Efforts on Mitigating Issues Regarding Social Bias, Safety, and Reliability."

Abstract:

The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has unlocked a myriad of possibilities for positive societal impact, ranging from enhancing accessibility and communication to supporting disaster response and public health initiatives. However, the deployment of these technologies also raises critical concerns regarding accountability, fairness, transparency, and ethical use. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts for auditing models, detecting and mitigating biases, and understanding how LLMs make decisions. We hope to open the conversation to foster a community-wide effort towards more accountable and inclusive LLM practices.
