I know internship hunting has been especially tough this year -- I hear you! 📢Great news: Our team at Microsoft Research (Microsoft Research) has opened up a few additional internship slots for this summer! We're seeking talented PhD candidates with experience in 🖼️Multimodality,


🚨 In a paper with Adam Breuer, Bryce J. Dietrich, Matthew Butler (The Studio at UIowa), JA Pryse and Kosuke Imai we 1) release online 9,707 presidential ads from 1952-2012 and 2) provide a method to transcribe and summarize political videos with AI arxiv.org/abs/2503.22589 🧵 1/x



📢 Our paper "AI safety for everyone" is out at Nature Machine Intelligence Nature Machine Intelligence . We challenge the narrative that AI safety is primarily about minimizing existential risks from AI. Why does this matter? A 🧵


Amazing line up of brilliant researchers coming soon to Kellogg School Ryan Institute on Complexity for the AI & Innovation Speakers Series. This year we'll have talks from Michiel Bakker, Julio Ottino, Juan Mateos Garcia, John Horton, and Emma Pierson


I think CS336 has one of the best LLM problem sets of any AI/LM class thanks to our incredible TAs (Nelson Liu,Gabriel Poesia,Marcel Rød,Neil Band,Rohith Kuditipudi). We're making it so you can do it all at home, and it's one of the best ways to learn LLMs deeply.


🚨 Our latest paper is out today in Science! We uncover stark and systematic partisan differences in the amount, content, and character of science used in policy, which mirror differences in political elites’ trust in science. Four years in the making. Led by Zander Furnas 1/n






For International Communication Association friends: Join us next Friday (June 13) for our second consecutive panel on “#GenerativeAI for Computational Communication Research”! A fantastic group of scholars will share insights & lessons on bringing LLMs into #CCR research practices. Thanks ICA Comp Methods for hosting!


Glad this paper is finally out in American Political Science Review, five years after we began the project. Hope it proves useful to researchers. cambridge.org/core/journals/…


When are LLMs-as-judge reliable? That's a big question for frontier labs and it's a big question for computational social science. Excited to share our findings (led by Aakriti Kumar!) on how to address this question for any subjective task & specifically for empathic comms
