🚨 New paper accepted to #ACL2025! We present LangSAMP, a multilingual pretraining method that adds language + script embeddings after the Transformer block—right before the language modeling head. ✅ Boosts language neutrality ✅ Helps crosslingual transfer

New paper: We investigate multilingual refusal mechanisms in LLMs and find that: The "refusal direction" - a single vector that controls whether models reject requests - is universal across languages. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2505.17306 🧵 Co-lead with Mingyang Wang and Yihong Liu

New paper: How does pretraining on programming languages + English shape LLMs' concept space? 🔍Do LLMs use English or a programming language as a kind of pivot language? 🧠Are neurons language-specific or shared across programming languages and English? 🔗arxiv.org/abs/2506.01074

I'll be on the job market in Fall 2025, looking for opportunities in research or applied NLP (postdoc or industry). If you think there’s a potential fit, I’d love to connect! Website: kargaranamir.github.io CV: drive.google.com/file/d/1IfQjXE… I'll also be attending ACL 2025.

I’ll be at ICML Conference next week presenting NoLiMa! Poster on Tue July 15, 4:30–7pm PDT (E-2312). Happy to grab a coffee and chat about long-context, memory, research, or just to catch up. I’ll be in Toronto for a couple of days after the conference, let me know if you’re around!

🎉 Our paper “Algorithmic Fidelity of LLMs in Generating Synthetic German Public Opinions” is accepted at #ACL2025 main conference as an oral presentation! 🇩🇪🤖 We study how well LLMs simulate real survey responses using open-ended German data, showing the left-leaning bias.

🚨 Can LLMs generate explanations that are as useful as human ones for modeling label distributions in NLI?🌹"A Rose by Any Other Name" shows that they can 💬 We explore scalable, explanation-based annotation via LLMs. 📍Come find us in Vienna 🇦🇹! (July 28, 18:00-19:30, Hall 4/5)

🤔 Can LLMs read between the lines? Our another #ACL2025 paper surveys resources on how LLMs handle pragmatics like implicatures, deixis, and more. We map out a new landscape for both LLMs and linguistics in pragmatic research. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2502.12378 🧠💬 #LLMs #Pragmatics

Leaving Vancouver after ICML’s closing fireworks 😁🎆 Heading to Toronto for a few days, then off to ACL 2025 to present: Collapse of Dense Retrievers A work by Mohsen Fayyaz that I was fortunate to collaborate on. Also co-presenting two other papers…🧵 [1/4]
