How easy is to persuade a large language model?

The Interchange Forum for Reflecting on
Intelligent Systems (IRIS @Stuttgart_IRIS @Uni_Stuttgart) invites all interested students and university staff to their next IRIS colloquium on March 26 at 2 PM in the room UN 302.101, where Mara Seyfert will talk about uncertainty and robustness against persuasion in large language models.

We cordially invite all interested parties at the Universität Stuttgart to our IRIS Colloquium on March 26, at 2 p.m., in Room 101 at Universitätsstr. 32.

Mara Seyfert will give her lecture, „Uncertainty and robustness against persuasion in large language models.“

Today's large language models (LLMs) excel at providing convincing answers across a broad spectrum of inquiries, with their conversational capabilities enabling them to closely align with users' needs. However, this adaptability is beneficial only to the extent as models remain robust to adopting wrong statements from user inputs.

Recent research demonstrates that even advanced models like GPT-4 can shift from initially correct answers to incorrect ones during multi-turn conversations solely due to user input. In my talk, I will present my research exploring how uncertainty in LLMs can provide insights into their robustness against persuasion while highlighting the specific challenges of quantifying uncertainty in these models.

The lecture is held in English. Registration is not necessary.

Object-Oriented vs. Conventional Software Testing

Object-Oriented Testing focuses on testing objects and classes, checking how they interact, and ensuring proper behavior in unit tests.

Conventional Testing is more system-centric, focusing on testing individual functions and modules, often through manual tests.

Network Switches: The Backbone of Modern Connectivity 

From homes to hyperscale data centers, network switches are the silent workhorses that keep data flowing smoothly. More than just forwarding packets, today’s switches offer high-speed performance, intelligent automation, and open architectures to meet growing digital demands.

With speeds advancing from 10G to 800G, AI-driven management optimizing traffic in real-time, and open-network solutions like SONiC revolutionizing flexibility, the future of networking is here. Whether you're building an enterprise network, data center, or industrial infrastructure, choosing the right switch is key to efficiency, security, and scalability.

Is your network future-ready?  Let’s explore the evolution of switches and what’s next!

From SNMP to INT to Open-Source: Is Your Network Monitoring Future-Ready?

Network monitoring is evolving. SNMP has long been the go-to for basic device status, but its polling-based method struggles with real-time accuracy. INT (In-band Network Telemetry) changes the game, embedding real-time insights directly into data packets for unmatched visibility.

Now, open-source tools like Prometheus, Zabbix, and Grafana offer flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for modern networks. Whether you're managing a small business or a cloud-scale infrastructure, choosing the right tool can optimize performance and security.

Is your network ready for the future? Let’s break it down and find the best solution!
