In the past, most studies focus on bias in LLMs. But in our new study, we reveal something shocking: humans might be worse. They show a strong bias against LLMs: this effect has broader societal and cognitive implications, as it undervalues AI performance. arxiv.org/abs/2410.03723

I'm on the faculty market and at #NeurIPS!👩‍🏫 homes.cs.washington.edu/~niloofar/ I work on privacy, memorization, and emerging challenges in data use for AI. Privacy isn't about PII removal but about controlling the flow of information contextually, & LLMs are still really bad at this!

🚨😱Obligatory job market announcement post‼️🤯 I'm searching for faculty positions/postdocs in multimodal/multilingual NLP and generative AI! I'll be at #NeurIPS2024 presenting our work on meta-evaluation for text-to-image faithfulness! Let's chat! Website in bio, papers in🧵

📢 Want to host MASC 2025? The 12th Mid-Atlantic Student Colloquium is a one day event bringing together students, faculty and researchers from universities/industry in the Mid-Atlantic. Please submit this very short form if you are interested in hosting! Deadline January 6th

📣 New paper accepted to #ACL2025 Main!📣 We are able to detect political dog whistles in controlled environments but can NLP models discover current and novel dog whistles in the wild? Across multiple NLP techniques, our new paper finds a clear answer: no! 🧵

Interested in shaping the progress of responsible AI and meeting leading researchers in the field? SoLaR@COLM 2025 is looking for paper submissions and reviewers! 🤖 ML track: algorithms, math, computation 📚 Socio-technical track: policy, ethics, human participant research

🚨 Submission deadline extended to June 27th AoE!🚨 Our reviewer interest form is also open! See below for more details👇

📢When LLMs solve tasks with a mid-to-low resource input/target language, their output quality is poor. We know that. But can we pin down what breaks inside the LLM? We introduce the 💥translation barrier hypothesis💥 for failed multilingual generation. arxiv.org/abs/2506.22724

I’m gonna be recruiting students thru both Language Technologies Institute | @CarnegieMellon (NLP) and CMU Engineering & Public Policy (Engineering and Public Policy) for fall 2026! If you are interested in reasoning, memorization, AI for science & discovery and of course privacy, u can catch me at ACL! Prospective students fill this form:

🔈For the SoLaR workshop Conference on Language Modeling we are soliciting opinion abstracts to encourage new perspectives and opinions on responsible language modeling, 1-2 of which will be selected to be presented at the workshop. Please use the google form below to submit your opinion abstract ⬇️

I'll be at #COLM2025 this week!🍁 Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat. Also, come to the SolaR Workshop this Friday to learn about research on socially responsible LLMs!!

📢I'm recruiting a postdoc at Rice University! Looking for someone with a PhD in CS (or a related field) and expertise in LLMs and Trustworthy & Responsible AI. I'll be at #COLM2025 from 10/8-10/10. Happy to chat in person! Feel free to email or DM me if you're interested.😀

(Fri Oct 10) SoLaR Workshop Please join us at the third iteration of the SoLaR workshop (Socially Responsible Language Models Research)! We have a very exciting full day program! Thanks the amazing organization efforts with Valentina Pyatkin Maarten Sap (he/him) Jimin Mun and other

and that’s a wrap of COLM and SoLaR!

I'm recruiting students for fall 2026 thru Language Technologies Institute | @CarnegieMellon & CMU Engineering & Public Policy, in: 1. Privacy & security of LLMs, coding, long horizon & embodied agents (robotics) 2. Tiny local llms 3. AI for scientific reasoning, esp. chemistry 4. Latent reasoning 5. anything YOU are passionate about!

🚨New paper on AI and copyright Several authors have sued LLM companies for allegedly using their books without permission for model training. 👩‍⚖️Courts, however, require empirical evidence of harm (e.g., market dilution). Our new pre-registered study addresses exactly this

Hi all, I am hosting a dinner party on 11.5 at EMNLP this year! We've invited a bunch VCs and startup people, also fantastic panelist to talk about embodied AI and LLM agents. All are welcome to attend!!

Considering a PhD/MSc in NLP? I’m hiring students this cycle! If you are passionate about making language models reliable and safe, eager about understanding and controlling language models, and would like to add to your research some multilingual flavor - apply to my group! 👇

📢 I'm recruiting PhD students at MPI!! Topics include: 1⃣ LLM factuality, reliable info synthesis and reasoning, personalization + applications in real-world inc. education, science 2⃣ Data-centric interpretability 3⃣Creativity in AI, esp scientific applications 🧵1/2

I'm on the job market and at #neurips2025! Looking for research roles around data for foundation models and would love to chat with folks - resume/site in my bio. I've recently worked AI at Meta and Databricks and publish papers with my awesome collaborators JHU CLSP!
