Description

Over the past year, the Natural Language Processing (NLP) research area at the Lamarr Institute has made significant strides toward building more robust, context-aware, and aligned language technologies. This talk will provide an overview of key developments in this area and our future plans. We will highlight flagship publications, newly funded projects, strategic collaborations and activities to Lamarr’s NLP research at the forefront of European AI innovation. Looking ahead, the presentation will outline our roadmap for future research, including scalable reasoning and evaluation methods, value-grounded language generation, and integrating feedback into model development. Anchored in the “Triangular AI” paradigm, our approach continues to balance algorithmic excellence, high-quality data curation, and societal impact. This session aims to foster dialogue on shaping responsible NLP research and invites continued collaboration across disciplines and sectors.

In addition, two selected research projects will be presented, sharing insights into multi-hop reasoning for question answering with hyperbolic representations and superalignment with dynamic human values.
