Thanks to @dustinbwright.com (@copenlu.bsky.social) and @mxij.me (@itu.dk) for sharing insights on your research within the collaboratory of Speech & Language, at the Last Fridays Talks!

This work on fact checking with summarized evidence was accepted to #SIGIR 2025!

Latest newsletter featuring a perspective paper by @dustinbwright.com et al. on "Efficiency is Not Enough: A Critical Perspective of Environmentally Sustainable AI" @aicentre.dk

I am still in need of emergency reviewers for ARR this cycle for the computational social science track, please DM me if you have capacity 🙏

Our long context summarization dataset is now on 🤗 Huggingface! huggingface.co/datasets/dwr... Use it as a training or a test set for long context query focused summarization! It includes evidence attribution of free-form text spans from the context, making summaries more transparent and reliable!

New preprint: "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization" We propose *unstructured* evidence attribution for long context summarization and a synthetic dataset called SUnsET which can help models perform this task. Paper link: arxiv.org/abs/2502.14409 Thread ⬇️

📄 New preprint: "Collecting Cost-Effective, High-Quality Truthfulness Assessments with LLM Summarized Evidence" We show: fact checking w/ crowd workers is more efficient when using LLM summaries, quality doesn't suffer. arxiv.org/abs/2501.18265

Happening now @neuripsconf.bsky.social #NeurIPS2024 !!! Come to poster 4003 in East Hall to learn about Bayesian model reduction for structured pruning!

I’m at #NeurIPS2024! I’m also on the faculty job market! Come talk to me about neural network efficiency, reliable NLP, open positions, and come to my spotlight poster on Friday from 11a — 2p in East Exhibit Hall A — C, poster number 4003

Looking forward to heading to #NeurIPS2024 in a week after some vacation time in Portugal this week 🇵🇹 I’m on the job market so message me if you’d like to meet up during the conference to chat about jobs, research, or to just hang out 😊

If you have ever had cause to doubt the wisdom of taking all of the computers in the world and connecting them to each other, an evening spent perusing social media is unlikely to assuage your concerns.

NeurIPS Conference is now Live on Bluesky! -NeurIPS2024 Communication Chairs

Hello, world! We're a Natural Language Understanding group at the University of Copenhagen (faculty: @iaugenstein.bsky.social, @apepa.bsky.social). Follow us for updates about our research, open positions, and more! More about us: www.copenlu.com #NLP #NLProc #ML #XAI

THE BELL JAR HARD ❌ It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York EASY ✅ That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

CopeNLU @ #EMNLP2024 — hope you all enjoyed the conference as much as we did 😊🌴 See you again at #ACL2025NLP and #EMNLP2025! #NLProc @rnv.bsky.social, @dwright37.bsky.social, @zeerak.bsky.social

#EMNLP #EMNLP2024 Find me at the widening NLP poster sessions! 1) Morning: fine-grained detection of antisemitic events in news reports (ongoing work) 2) Afternoon: social movement framing on social media, recently published at the journal of quantitative description journalqd.org/article/view...

Here are pictures of my cat Bitsy helping with preparing both posters

"A person who merely refuses to learn what can be known is not a skeptic, but rather an ignoramus; a person who raises questions but does not seek their answers is not a skeptic, but a bullshitter." defector.com/what-the-fuc...

BlueSky starting to feel like my old science focused twitter used to, actually seeing stuff I care about not just drama and politics

Podcasts are a popular medium, but data for computational research is limited! We introduce the Structured Podcast Research Corpus (SPoRC - huggingface.co/datasets/bli...), a large, multimodal dataset of English podcasts 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2411.07892

Lots of folks listen to podcasts—an estimated half of Americans do monthly!—but there's been limited data to study what happens on them. What do they talk about? Who are the guests? Who is influencing whom?? This new dataset is our attempt to bring light to an important medium

Happening now at #EMNLP2024 ! Come to poster 34 in Jasmine to talk to me, @rnv.bsky.social and Srishti Yadav about LLM political values!
