A team of researchers from the HLTCOE and CLSP were named winners of an Outstanding Paper Award at the inaugural Conference on Language Modeling held in Philadelphia in October, 2024. The paper was called “Dated Data: Tracing Knowledge Cutoffs in Large Language Models” and investigates the concept of “reported knowledge cutoffs” commonly provided by large […]
A team of researchers from the HLTCOE and first author, JHU student Henry Li Xinyan, were named winners of the 3rd VoicePrivacy Challenge Best Paper award. The paper describing their submission to the 2024 VoicePrivacy Challenge exposed a simple but novel means to control privacy and utility tradeoffs while defeating Automatic Speaker Verification (ASV) attack […]
In 2023, HLTCOE Principal Investigator Carey Priebe and Research Affiliate Youngser Park were part of a team that produced the first complete brain-wiring diagram of an insect brain. The brain connectome of a fruit fly larva and the techniques developed to map it will help scientists better understand, and eventually map, more complex brains. The […]
HLTCOE researchers and affiliates from the Center for Language and Speech Processing are organizing portions of the CHIME7 challenge, taking place from February to August 2023, in coordination with the Interspeech 2023 conference. This one-day workshop will bring together researchers from the fields of speech enhancement, speech and speaker recognition, computational hearing, and machine learning […]
The Human Language Technology Center of Excellence and the Center for Language and Speech Processing will host two events in 2023 for the North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition (NACLO). NACLO (the North American Computational Linguistics Open competition) is a contest for U.S. and Canadian pre-university students in which contestants solve compelling puzzles in linguistics […]
The HLTCOE is delighted to welcome Dr. Zachary Lubberts as our newest research scientist. Dr. Lubberts, jointly appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Math and Statistics at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, is an applied mathematician best known for his work on wavelet analysis and graph analytic techniques. His research […]
