[Archimedes NLP Theme Meeting] NLP theme flash talks

Dates
2025-03-17 17:30 - 18:30
Venue
Artemidos 1 - Amphitheater

Archimedes NLP Theme Meeting: NLP theme round-table / flash talks, Monday 17 March, 17:30-18:30 (Greek time)

 

Fellows, researchers, interns, and principal investigators of the NLP Theme at Archimedes Unit are discussing their research plans. As an initiative among the different themes of Archimedes Unit; we plant to have a bunch of informal presentations (~5min. each) during which the main idea is for everyone to explain what they do, why they do it (and lose sleep trying to do it) and, if time permits, how they do it. High-level, as accessible as possible, the idea being to learn from one another, share our best practices, work together.

 

Flash-talk titles:

  • "Multiple-choice is not what you need: Evaluating LLM Generations with a long-context Greek Legal Reasoning Benchmark" (Ο. Chlapanis)
  • “Multimodal LLMs for Mental Health Applications” (E. Soufleri)
  • "NLP Approaches to the Analysis and Dating of Ancient Texts" (V. Platanou)
  • "Trustworthiness of Large Language Models in Clinical Applications" (E. Partalidou)
  • "NLP in Low-Data Settings: Low-Resource Languages and Idiomatic Terms" (A. Dimakis)
  • "Simulating Online Discussions via LLM Agents for Moderation" (D. Tsirmpas)
  • "Plutus: Benchmarking Large Language Models in Low-Resource Greek Finance" (T. Papadopoulos)
  • "Large Language Models For Privacy Aware Mental Health Analysis" (D. Karpontinis)
  • "Faithfully grounded biomedical question-answering with uni-modal and multi-modal RAG-LLMs" (G. Moschovis)

 

The order of presentations may differ.

Mission

To build an AI Excellence Hub in Greece where the international research community can connect, groundbreaking ideas can thrive, and the next generation of scientists emerges, shaping a brighter future for Greece and the world

 

Welcome to ARCHIMEDES, a vibrant research hub connecting the global AI and Data Science research community fostering groundbreaking research in Greece and beyond. Its dedicated core team, comprising lead researchers, affiliated researchers, Post-Docs, PhDs and interns, is committed to advancing basic and applied research in Artificial Intelligence and its supporting disciplines, including Algorithms, Statistics, Learning Theory, and Game Theory organized around 8 core research areas. By collaborating with Greek and Foreign Universities and Research Institutes, ARCHIMEDES disseminates its research findings fostering knowledge exchange and providing enriching opportunities for students. Leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, ARCHIMEDES promotes innovation within the Greek ecosystem and extends its societal impact. Established in January 2022, as a research unit of the Athena Research Center with support from the Committee Greece 2021, ARCHIMEDES is funded for its first four years by the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).

Archimedes Workshop on Dialect NLP

Archimedes Workshop on Dialect NLP

Upcoming workshop on Dialect NLP on “Standardization and Variation for Dialect Varieties with Universal Dependencies as an Application Framework” coming up. We are excited to announce that the Dialect NLP team at Archimedes, Athena Research Center, Greece, is organizing a workshop in collaboration with the MaiNLP Research Lab at Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich. Workshop details:Workshop info: UniDive WG1 Workshop on Dialect Varieties Dates: September 5–6, 2025 Location: LMU Munich Funded by: UniDive – Universality, Diversity and Idiosyncrasy in Language Technology Archimedes: Dialect NLP and Linguistic Diversity At Archimedes, our Dialect NLP team focuses on the intersection of AI and linguistic diversity, with an emphasis on under-resourced and endangered language varieties, both Greek and non-Greek. Our research includes:   • Dialectal speech-to-text and morphosyntactic modeling  • Dialect-to-standard normalization for Greek varieties   • Intra-dialectal variation analysis   • A critical perspective on annotation frameworks like Universal Dependencies (UD), especially when applied to non-standard or endangered varieties Our resources cover:   • Standard Modern Greek: GUD Treebank   • Greek dialects: Cretan, Messinian, Lesbian, Cypriot, Griko/Greko, Aperathitika   • Non-Greek varieties spoken in Greece: Pomak, Arvanitika All datasets, models, and tools we develop are freely available to the research community. About Our Collaborators at MaiNLP (LMU Munich) The MaiNLP Research Lab at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich conducts research in Natural Language Processing, combining computer science, linguistics, and cognitive science. Their focus is on human-facing NLP: developing models that are robust to variation, fair, and reflective of human annotation diversity. MaiNLP is also leading the ERC Consolidator Grant project DIALECT, which explores natural language understanding for non-standard languages and dialects—making them an ideal partner in our shared mission to design NLP systems that work for all language varieties. Workshop Goals This workshop will:   • Document current practices in dialectal UD treebanks (e.g., orthographic/phonological variation, lemmatization, interference)   • Identify gaps in annotation and processing across dialects   • Develop shared methodologies for handling variation, improving consistency, and enabling knowledge transfer   • Foster community engagement with researchers working on under-resourced dialects and less-studied language families   • Ground discussions in theoretical insights from Plank (2016): What to do about non-standard language in NLP It is an opportunity to reflect on how annotation frameworks and tools serve—or fall short of serving— dialectal and endangered varieties, and how AI can support documentation, analysis, and preservation of linguistic diversity. We look forward to sharing our findings and engaging with colleagues working on inclusive, culturally informed, and variation-aware NLP. Stay tuned for more updates!
