In-context learning can be an effective way to conduct value alignment of LLMs through examples, but when there are multiple pluralistic groups, are the best examples for one group also the ones for another? We explore this in our paper 🌟SPICA 🌟 (🧵1/9)

Check out our latest work on steerable alignment! We improve on a typical in-context learning approach with semantic retrieval by proposing metrics that instead select examples that best exemplify a group's shared values, enabling inference-time alignment to a particular group ➡️

Can LLM prompting help social media users create and iterate on their content filters more easily? In our #CHI2025 paper, we compared in an experiment three authoring strategies: 🤖prompting LLM 🔎labeling examples for ML classifiers 📐authoring keyword rules (🧵1/N)

We're still working on the dream of enabling anyone to be able to create their own filters on social media for personal moderation or feed curation! Can LLM prompting make that dream possible? We find it works better than alternatives but users still struggle with iteration ➡️

Meet Ai2 Paper Finder, an LLM-powered literature search system. Searching for relevant work is a multi-step process that requires iteration. Paper Finder mimics this workflow — and helps researchers find more papers than ever 🔍

I've been thinking a lot about the interaction pattern with agents recently. I really enjoyed reading Cursor 's blog posts on problems below: cursor.com/blog/problems-… cursor.com/blog/problems-… Three key ideas stood out. 1. The focus on context, especially multi-hop context

Whooo, congrats to Andre Ye for being named a Soros Fellow!!! Excited that you'll be heading to my alma mater for grad school 😉 Social Futures Lab is cheering you on!

Inspired by his father’s study of neural networks, #UWAllen and UW Philosophy major Andre Ye taught himself the subject on his way to enrolling in University of Washington at age 15. He just won a PD Soros Fellowships Fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. at MIT EECS in #AI. pdsoros.org/fellows/andre-… #HuskyExperience

Another fantastic paper focused on the safety experiences of young users, led by Jina Yoon and collaborating with Amy Zhang, will be presented at #CSCW2025. joseph.seering.org/papers/Yoon_Zh…

Putting it out there - I'll be at #chi2025 but only around Sat night - Mon night, if you'd like to catch up! In particular, I'm interested in chatting with potential post-docs in the areas of AI and social media governance + human-AI agent / team-AI interaction. Email/DM me!!

See our upcoming work at #chi2025 on RAG-based techniques for contextualizing AI generations into a group setting by leveraging the group’s history! ⬇️

Check out this paper! Really interesting and grounded methodology:

🎉 ARIA is excited to fund six new Safeguarded AI teams, bringing together experts from across the social sciences, economics, law, and policy, to address the crucial link between advanced AI and society. (1/3)🧵

🤖LLMs are being integrated everywhere, but how do we ensure they're delivering meaningful user experiences? In our #chi2025 paper, we empower designers to think about this via 🎨designerly adaptation🎨 of LLMs and built a Figma widget to help! 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2401.09051 🧵👇

Our lab will be starting up work on building tools for governing AI agent autonomy this next year! 👩‍💻

Congratulations to University of Washington #UWAllen Ph.D. grads Ashish Sharma & Sewon Min, Association for Computing Machinery Doctoral Dissertation Award honorees! Sharma won for #AI tools for mental health; Min received honorable mention for efficient, flexible language models. #ThisIsUW news.cs.washington.edu/2025/06/04/all…

Congratulations to University of Washington #UWAllen professors Amy Zhang & Rachel Lin on receiving #AmazonResearchAwards! Zhang is developing tools for governing #AI agent autonomy, while Lin is advancing #cryptography techniques such as large-scale, multiparty silent preprocessing for MPC from LPN.
