Title: Synthetic Text for Anonymisation

Abstract:  Text generation is an active area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) research. Despite the progress in the current NLP methods (for example, such powerful pre-trained language models (PLMs) as GPT), this task remains a challenge when the validity of outputs is crucial.  This talk covers my work on the generation of synthetic text to address the issue of textual data privacy. I will also talk about my work on the exploration of unsupervised rewards for text generation with Reinforcement Learning to ease adjusting PLMs to new domains.

Bio: Julia Ive is a Lecturer in Natural Language Processing at EECS. She is the author of many mono- and multimodal text generation approaches in Machine Translation and Summarisation. Currently, she is working on the theoretical aspects of adequacy preservation and privacy-safety in artificial text generation.
