wp-admin — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 11:13:57 +0000

The current issue of campus | inform features LibraryAI, a joint research project of our group, the State and University Library Göttingen (SUB), and the GWDG. We aim to develop an AI-powered virtual librarian that supports researchers across disciplines by providing conversational access to scholarly resources.

GippLab Presents Five Papers at EMNLP Conference in China

wp-admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 16:27:07 +0000

Our team, together with collaborators from Mercedes-Benz, eschbach, the North Rhine-Westphalia State Criminal Police Office, and JUST ADD AI, presents the following five papers at the EMNLP conference 2025—one of the flagship conferences in NLP (CORE rank A*)—taking place in Suzhou, China, from November 4-9.

(1) SPaRC: A Spatial Pathfinding Reasoning Challenge
by Lars Benedikt Kaesberg, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas, and Bela Gipp

TL;DR: SPaRC is a 2D pathfinding dataset that necessitates multi-step spatial and rule-based reasoning, underscoring a significant gap in spatial understanding between human and AI reasoning models.

Poster: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/emnlp-2025-poster-sparc-a-spatial-pathfinding-reasoning-challenge/284023981

Presentation: Wed. Nov. 5, 14:30-16:00, Hall C

(2) Contrastive Learning Using Graph Embeddings for Domain Adaptation of Language Models in the Process Industry
by Anastasia Zhukova*, Jonas Lührs*, Christian E. Lobmüller, and Bela Gipp (*equal contribution)

TL;DR: We explore the use of knowledge graphs for fine-tuning language models, specifically the text encoder, when the text domain data is low-resource.

Presentation: Wed., Nov. 5, 14:30-16:00, Hall C, Industry Poster Session 1

(3) MALLM: Multi-Agent Large Language Models Framework
by Jonas Becker*, Lars Benedikt Kaesberg*, Niklas Bauer, Jan Philip Wahle, Terry Ruas, and Bela Gipp (*equal contribution)

TL;DR: A framework for multi-agent debate to conduct your research experiments. Evaluate agent personas, response generators, discussion paradigms, and decision protocols.

Paper: https://aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-demos.29/ or https://mallm.gipplab.org

Poster: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/mallm-multi-agent-large-language-models-framework-emnlp-2025/284028707

Presentation: Thu., Nov. 6, 16:30-18:00, Hall C

(4) TrojanStego: Your Language Model can Secretly Be A Steganographic Privacy Leaking Agent
by Dominik Meier, Jan Philip Wähle, Paul Röttger, Terry Ruas, Bela Gipp

TL;DR: We explore a novel threat model where LLMs secretly embed information in their output.

Paper: https://aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-main.1386/

Poster: https://pdfhost.io/v/WsBM3XwhdJ_TrojanStego-Dm-JW-2-1

Presentation: Fri., Nov. 7, 10:30-12:00, Hall C

(5) Re-FRAME the Meeting Summarization SCOPE: Fact-Based Summarization and Personalization via Questions
by Frederic Kirstein, Sonu Kumar, Terry Ruas, Bela Gipp

TL;DR: We introduce FRAME, a fact-centric pipeline that incorporates statement–context tuples, along with SCOPE, a reason-out-loud personalization protocol, and P-MESA, a reader-aligned metric. We reframe summarization as enrichment, cutting hallucination/omission, and improving relevance, goal alignment, and knowledge fit in meeting summaries.

GippLab Showcases Research to DAAD President at NII Tokyo

wp-editor — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 17:11:56 +0000

GippLab members Dr. André Greiner-Petter and Dr. Timo Spinde had the honor of meeting Prof. Joybrato Mukherjee, President of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), during his visit to the National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo. During the meeting, our researchers presented their current research projects to highlight GippLab’s ongoing activities at the NII and the long-standing history of our successful collaboration.

The discussion, also attended by Prof. Shigeo Sugimoto, Acting Director-General of the NII, underscored the strong academic and cultural ties between German and Japanese research institutions. The DAAD President’s visit emphasized the significance and enduring success of this international partnership, which has been generously supported by the DAAD for over a decade.

Our cooperation with the NII offers students and early-career researchers at the University of Göttingen unique opportunities for research stays in Tokyo. Details are available at https://gipplab.uni-goettingen.de/tokyo.
