Users or experts? Navigating the trade‑offs in LLM quality annotation
🔈Yulia Khalus—сomputational linguist at Grammarly

🚀 In this talk, we will examine how LLM outputs are evaluated by potential end users versus professional linguist‑annotators, as two ways of ensureing alignment with real‑world user needs and expectations. We will compare the two approaches, highlight the advantages and recurring pitfalls of user‑driven annotation, and share the mitigation techniques we have developed from our own experience.

Beyond generation: How to get high-quality text from LLMs
🔈 Lera Lakusta—сomputational linguist at Grammarly.

🚀 How can we make texts generated by large language models better?
We'll discuss how to influence quality during the prompt creation stage, as well as how to work with already-generated text—improving it, identifying errors, and filtering out undesirable results. We'll explore linguistic approaches that help achieve better, more controlled outcomes from LLMs.
