Tech Talk: Specializing Small Language Models With Less Data
Speaker: Jacek Golebiowski (Distil Labs)
Abstract: The latency of LLMs is a crucial factor when building multi-agent systems. Implementing small, specialized language models is an option, but it is not often leveraged because it requires gathering high volumes of human-labeled training data. To alleviate this problem, I will discuss how large language models can generate synthetic data to help tune small models on domain-specific tasks.

Tech Talk: Evaluation principles for NLP engines
Speaker: Oren Matar
Abstract: As NLP models become increasingly prevalent in modern applications, the industry faces a critical challenge: how can we effectively evaluate the limitations of black-box NLP systems? This session introduces a model-agnostic evaluation paradigm that automatically generates test datasets enriched with labeled linguistic challenges for each example. These labels enable precise analysis of failure cases, uncovering critical flaws and actionable insights. We will also present the development of a performance dashboard that visualizes engine capabilities, fostering better collaboration between data science and product teams.
