Had great discussions Cardiff NLP. Thank you for hosting me Nedjma Ousidhoum نجمة أوسيدهم!

📢New preprint! : arxiv.org/abs/2502.14132 Fact-checkers play a vital role in combating misinformation on social media, but have come under intense scrutiny in the current political climate.

I do (work on detecting opinion from text) and this is a very slippery slope. AI is dual use, authoritarian regimes can similarly justify finding all people speaking up against them and putting them in jail.

✨ Thrilled to share that our paper, "Evaluating Input Feature Explanations through a Unified Diagnostic Evaluation Framework," has been accepted at NAACL 2025—with an Oral presentation! 🎉 A huge thank you to my incredible supervisors @Isabelle and Pepa Atanasova . #NAACL2025

So it should be. That's the point of ethics: to stop you from doing something you'd like to do, but that would be wrong.

Massive congrats to Nadav Borenstein for passing his PhD defence yesterday! 👏👏👏 Thanks to Anders Søgaard, Rada Mihalcea Rico Sennrich for serving as examiners. You can find his thesis here, which the committee characterised as "a joy to read": arxiv.org/abs/2503.07395

🎓 Great opportunity for a fully funded PhD in interpretable NLP at the DIKU - Department of Computer Science, UCPH & Pioneer Centre for AI with Isabelle Augenstein and me CopeNLU! 📆 Application deadline: 15 May 2025 👀 Reasons to apply: copenlu.com/post/why-ucph/ 🔗 Apply here: candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationIni… #NLProc #XAI

Happy to share that I've joined the Apple Machine Learning Research team in Copenhagen as a research intern! Will continue to build on topics from my PhD, equitably advancing LLM access for all, working with Maartje ter Hoeve and Natalie Schluter

Disconcerting AI 'experiments' in r/changemyview from Uni of Zurich, which should have never passed IRB.

In "Investigating Human Values in Online Communities", we perform a high-scale study of the unique values expressed by online communities arxiv.org/abs/2402.14177 #NAACL2025 #NLProc Nadav Borenstein Arnav Arora Lucie-Aimée Kaffee Isabelle Augenstein x.com/NadavBorenstei…

It is critical for scientific integrity that we trust our measure of progress. The lmarena.ai has become the go-to evaluation for AI progress. Our release today demonstrates the difficulty in maintaining fair evaluations on lmarena.ai, despite best intentions.

It was a joy to work w\ Meriem Beloucif & Saif M. Mohammad on our position paper "Building Better: Avoiding Pitfalls in Developing Language Resources when Data is Scarce" & happy to see it accepted at #ACL2025NLP (main) arxiv.org/abs/2410.12691 Many thanks to our survey respondents!

I won't make it to #ACL2025 this time around but go check out our survey on culture in NLP and machine learning. We talk about limitations in definitions of culture, current data collection, methods, discuss implications to social science applications and next steps we can take.
