Are you sure that your NLU benchmarks & their comparison w/humans are well grounded? w/Simone Tedeschi Babelscape JohanBos Thierry Declerck Jan Hajic Daniel Hershcovich Eduard Hovy Alexander Koller Simon Krek Steven Schockaert Rico Sennrich Katia Shutova #ACL2023NLP #NLProc European Research Council (ERC)

An incredible piece of science communication. Beautiful and humbling. bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/h…

New Turing Test?👇😜

Hoe werkt #chatgpt eigenlijk, en wat kun je ermee? Maar ook: wat gaat er mis met dit soort AI-systemen, en wat kunnen we daaraan doen? Op 30 nov spreken Katia Shutova, Ivana Isgum, Cees Snoek en @PiekVossen over de mogelijkheden en beperkingen van ChatGPT: bit.ly/40uys9I

Curious to know if current large language models fall in love (treat #animacy in a human-like manner)? 😊 Check out the pre-print of our EMNLP 2025 work and Michael's thread below! Surely, the supervisors (Yonatan Belinkov and I) are in love with this paper 😉🧡 #NLProc #LLMs

A nice session at KNAW tonight looking back on the year since the launch of ChatGPT — Katia Shutova is giving a short technical glimpse behind the curtains (🥁) of LLMs right now, that I made some illustrations for! Livestream: youtube.com/live/Nn41XWARa…

ACL has removed the anonymity period. This means that ACL submissions can be posted and discussed online at any time, although extensive PR is discouraged. aclweb.org/adminwiki/imag…

Despite having almost no money, academics still developed (just since 2020) diffusion models, FlashAttention, prefix tuning, DPO, essentially every neural IR model, many of the methods for long contexts, and the majority of the important benchmarks, among many other things.

Our paper 'Examining Modularity in Multilingual LMs via Language-Specialized Subnetworks' got accepted to #NAACL2024 findings. Preprint: arxiv.org/pdf/2311.08273… See you in Mexico City!⛱️

🔜 PhD position in NLP & Cognitive Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam! Topics: modelling word order variation and cognitive constraints, understanding the nature of human language using state-of-the-art language models as tools. Have a look: vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/PhD-Po…

There's still time to apply!

🗺 Are you a BSc or MSc student at the University of Amsterdam and have an accepted paper at a top-tier conference (ML or AI related)? Then you might qualify for the ELLIS/ Qualcomm travel grant! 🎉 🔗 Find out more about the grant and how to apply for it: ivi.fnwi.uva.nl/ellis/wp-conte…

🐧Are LLMs classical or nonmonotonic reasoners? In our #ACL2024 paper, we look at generics (“Birds fly”) and exceptions (“Penguins don’t fly”). 💡TL;DR: Comparing LLM to human reasoning is challenging since LLMs fail to reason consistently given supporting or unrelated examples.

I am really happy to share our new #CVPR 2025 paper (Cross-modal Information Flow in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLM)). We investigate the internal working mechanism of MLLM including where in the model and how is visual and linguistic information integrated.
