I’ve never seen so many people at my institute‘s favorite bar — #ic2s2 is going strong day and night. Amazing people, amazing vibes!

Join my talk on #ChildObjectification on TikTok at #IC2S2 today at 2:30 PM (📍 Social Good & Ethics). I built classification models to detect objectifying language and found: 10% of comments refer to appearance, 3% are objectifying. Models struggle with this task, with #RoBERTa outperforming GPT-4.

I had a great time at GSO's #LeadershipAcademy in Berlin! Leading other people is not always straightforward, especially in academia. My takeaway: merging #values around who I want to be as a mentor with a strategy for a lab in #ComputationalViolenceResearch I hope to build.

Thanks for inviting me and for the mug! ☕️

Being a good researcher goes beyond academic publishing; to me, it also means fostering a research environment grounded in integrity and continuous learning. That’s why I’m excited to be part of this year’s GSO #Leadership Academy. Looking forward to meeting this year’s cohort! #ResponsibleResearch
