SUMMARY:Towards Out-of-distribution generalization in NLP - Prof. He He (N
 ew York Univeristy)

DESCRIPTION:Real-world NLP models must work well when the test distributio
 n differs from the training distribution. While we have made great progres
 s in natural language understanding thanks to large-scale pre-training\, c
 urrent models still take shortcuts and rely on spurious correlations in sp
 ecific datasets. In this talk\, I will discuss the role of pre-training an
 d data in model robustness to distribution shifts. In particular\, I will 
 describe how pre-trained models avoid learning spurious correlations\, whe
 n data augmentation helps and hurts\, and how large language models can be
  leveraged to improve few-shot learning.\n\n\n%{color:red}*Please note unu
