Invited Talk: On Robustifying AI with Data Intelligence

Large-scale language models have enabled super-human fluency in diverse NLP tasks, potentially revolutionizing human-machine and human-human interactions. However, their limited robustness is observed to be a major obstacle and cannot be overcome by increasing scale. This talk argues current norms of model training are too constrained and lead to over-confident models, then discusses our recent work, showing how knowledge such as causality and evidentiality can enrich interactions towards robust training of NLP models. A longer version of this talk (with older results) can be found as EDBT 2022 keynote.
