Join us for an insightful session on Entity Resolution (ER) with Zeyu Zhang, a third-year Ph.D. student at the University of Amsterdam’s! He will dig into techniques to solve one of the long-standing problem of data integration by using pre-trained language models.   Title: Practices of Using Small and Large Language Models for Entity Resolution […]

While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at knowledge reasoning tasks, they face significant challenges in formal mathematical theorem proving due to data scarcity and strict logical precision requirements. This talk introduces the DeepSeek-Prover series, highlighting how automated dataset construction and reasoning annotations have effectively transferred knowledge from data-rich to data-scarce domains, achieving state-of-the-art results in […]
