SUMMARY:SFI MediaFutures Lunch Seminar: Meet Ryan Anthony Marinelli
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunch seminar with our new postdoctoral researcher Ryan Anthony Marinelli\, who will introduce himself and his work. \nRyan will present his previous research and current research interests\, followed by his postdoctoral plan and project collaboration ideas with our industry partners. \nAll are welcome! \nDate: 27 MarchTime: 11:15 – 12:45Venue: MediaFutures  \nAbstract:From Exploitation to Representation: Evaluating Secure AI and Norwegian EmbeddingsThis talk opens by exploring AI safety and security across different levels of abstraction. At the highest level\, we examine how AI interacts with society and how filtering mechanisms can be applied to mitigate risks. In contrast\, the lowest level is explored through mechanistic interpretability\, focusing on how models memorize information and how they may be aligned with human values.The second part of the talk focuses on embeddings and recent evaluation efforts to understand the ability of large language models to function as embedding models. There is particular interest in embeddings within a news context\, analyzing how to best support retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in more specialized use cases\, including Norwegian-language settings.
