DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this two-part talk\, we will cover topics at the 
 intersection of NLP and HCI. In the first part\, we'll cover recent work o
 n multi-turn evaluation of LLMs\, with findings indicating that LLMs tend 
 to get "lost in conversation" when user instructions are underspecified an
 d require interactivity from the LLM. In the second part\, we will turn to
  writing interfaces\, first introducing an interface (InkSync) that can fa
 cilitate human-AI interaction for writing (and ensure factual correctness)
 \, and then turn to a high-level question: what does it mean for LLMs to p
 roduce creative writing\, and how does AI writing compare to expert-level\
 , Prize-winning writing?\n\n \n\nBio: Philippe Laban is a Research Scienti
 st at Microsoft Research\, based in New York. Philippe works at the inters
 ection of NLP (~70%) and HCI (~30%) and is passionate about studying and b
 uilding the future of reading and writing interfaces.
