[1/8] Struggling with verifying the trustworthiness of RAG outputs? Check our latest work where we utilize *model internals* as a powerful and faithful tool for attributing answers to retrieved docs! (w/ Gabriele Sarti Arianna Bisazza Raquel Fernández) 📄: arxiv.org/abs/2406.13663 #NLProc

Excited to announce the keynote speakers for COLM 2024! Christopher Manning Raquel Fernández Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 Hanna Hajishirzi

1/5 📣 Excited to share “LLMs instead of Human Judges? A Large Scale Empirical Study across 20 NLP Evaluation Tasks”! arxiv.org/abs/2406.18403 🚀 We introduce JUDGE-BENCH, a benchmark to investigate to what extent LLM-generated judgements align with human evaluations. #NLProc

Looking forward to #CogSci2024! We’ll present 2 posters analysing cross-speaker alignment in face-to-face dialogue, one on lexical alignment led by @DrEsamGhaleb escholarship.org/uc/item/43h970… and one on the relation between lexical and gestural alignment led by Sho Akamine 👇

Why do human languages look the way they do? Which learning constraints, communication pressures &group dynamics cause the emergence of common language properties? We introduce NeLLComX, a framework to study this w/ neural-net agents arxiv.org/abs/2407.13999 w/Y.Lian Tessa Verhoef

Can we please make standard a minimum distance between posters? the poster session at #CogSci2024 is close to #emnlp2023 level of bad 😓

What a pleasure the Rumelhart Prize talk by Alison Gopnik!

Very noticeable improvement at the poster session today. Thanks CogSci Society !

Very interesting paper by Yilun Hua and Yoav Artzi! Great to see work on this topic dear to me: adaptation in repeated reference games. We looked into it using earlier models in this EMNLP-2020 paper aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-mai… with Ece Takmaz Mario Giulianelli Sandro Pezzelle Arabella J Sinclair

Excited to be working with Cambridge University Press on my (text)book 'AI for the Ecological Study of Language Development.' It will guide young researchers in exploring how sensory input, cognitive mechanisms, and social interactions shape learning in natural environments!

Our MIRAGE paper is accepted at #EMNLP2024 Main! 🎉 See you in Miami 👋 to chat about interesting applications of feature attribution to Retrieval-Augmented Generation w/ Jirui Qi Gabriele Sarti and Raquel Fernández

I'll be at Conference on Language Modeling until Thursday, presenting this paper—check it out at the Wednesday 4:30-6:30 poster session! Would also love to chat with folks about (mechanistic) interpretability, and how it can be useful for cog sci / linguistics

Super excited to be presenting our paper "Crowd-Calibrator: Can Annotator Disagreement Inform Calibration in Subjective Tasks?" at #COLM24 during the first poster session on Monday! ✨ arxiv.org/abs/2408.14141 If you are at COLM, I hope to see you at our poster!

Friends! I am looking for PhD and Masters students to join my group for Fall 2025, Please share with students you may know who are interested in the intersection of language, CogSci, and AI! first deadline is Dec 1st, see my page for more info: evaportelance.github.io/prosstudents.h…

COLM 2025 will be in Montreal 🇨🇦! Looking forward to welcoming people working on all aspects of language models. See you in October 2025 Conference on Language Modeling

📢 #NLProc I'm hiring! 2x PhD students (apply by Nov 22) & postdoc (Nov 15). These positions are part of a large project on the problem of attribution for LLM outputs to the original data sources, on which LLMs were trained. Job links on my website (in the bio) /1

Today I visited the ELLIS Unit Stuttgart. What a rewarding experience! I truly enjoyed speaking at the lecture series, the questions from the audience, and the many one-to-one chats afterwards. An intense and super stimulating day. Thanks for the invitation ELLIS Unit Stuttgart!
