Dear OpenAI co-founders and executives,
We are excited to invite you as our guest speaker(s) for the 3rd Workshop for NLP Open Source Software (NLP-OSS) in year 2023, colocated with EMNLP at Singapore in 06 December.
ChatGPT has brought about fresh perspectives on large language models, NLP applications and sparked a cambrian explosion of open source NLP tools. Little can our words describe the impact OpenAI has on the NLP academia and industry, and it would be good to hear from OpenAI about their journey from pre-GPT, to open source GPT-2 to the GPT-4 we know and use today, and the limits and risks of open sourcing OpenAI products. Your experience with building the an NLP startup will be inspiring and very valuable to the workshop that could be shared with the ACL community at the NLP-OSS workshop.
The NLP-OSS workshop is unlike the normal scientific track of academic workshop, our primary objective of this workshop is to further the sharing of insights on the engineering and community aspects of creating, developing and maintaining NLP open source software (OSS) which we seldom talk about in scientific publications. The secondary goal is to promote synergies between different open source projects and encourage cross-software comparisons. Our organizers and committee comprises of experts like yourself with notable OSS contribution to ML/NLP projects. Previous editions of NLP-OSS workshop have hosted creators and maintainers of popular open source software, e.g. Huggingface Transformers, Marian NMT, Stanford CoreNLP, scikit-learn.

We look forward to your response and hopefully seeing you speak at NLP-OSS 2023!
Thank you in advance for your response.
Best Regards, NLP-OSS Organizers
