#EMNLP2024 is happening soon! Unfortunately, I will not be on site, but I will present our poster virtually on Wednesday, Nov 13 (7:45 EST / 13:45 CEST) in Virtual Poster Session 2. In this work, we leverage self-training in an active learning loop in order to train small language models with even less data. Hope to see you there!

This bold claim is not my opinion, but it has been made in a recent "report" of a group, whose stance is recognizable in their name. It is roughly translated as "Authors' Rights Initiative". They published a report which was also presented before the EU Parliament according to the LinkedIn post below.

I am not really interested in politics, but as an EU citizen I am of course somewhat interested in a reasonable and practical version of the EU AI Act. Not saying there should not be rules around data and AI, but this report is obviously very biased towards one side.

While I think the report itself does not deserve attention, I post it in the hope that you find more examples, where they did not address the issue adequately. Feel free to add to my LinkedIn posts (where the original authors will see it) or here.
