Thrilled that our paper Faux Polyglot has been accepted to #NAACL2025 main! 🚀 We show that multilingual RAG creates language-specific information cocoons and amplifies perspectives and facts in the dominant language, especially when handling knowledge conflicts. 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2407.05502

Glad to organize HEAL again at CHI2025 with a special theme of "Mind the Context"!
