2020: Döpfner bekommt 1 Milliarde € Aktien geschenkt und schummelt 500 Millionen € Steuern am Staat vorbei. Niemand juckt’s. Sep. 2025: Hans sammelt 58 € Pfand, weil er Geld für Essen & Medikamente braucht, meldet es dem Sozialamt und das Geld wird ihm weggekürzt. Es ist so f*cking unfassbar!

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Excited to see this being presented @euripsconf.bsky.social in Copenhagen ✨

Join us for a Data Discussion on Friday, November 7! 📅 Daniel Juhász Vigild will start by exploring how government use of AI impacts its trustworthiness, while Stephanie Brandl will examine whether LLMs can identify and classify fine-grained forms of populism. Event🔗: sodas.ku.dk/events/sodas...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

New preprint: "Decoding Alignment: A Critical Survey of LLM Development Initiatives through Value-setting and Data-centric Lens" 🔍 Beyond a survey, this is a presentation of a series of concerns on what we could frame as "corporate" alignment #llms #ai arxiv.org/abs/2508.16982

We released a new preprint on ✨populism✨ and how LLMs struggle to detect it in political debates 🗣️ This was a fun (and very educational) PolSci🤝NLP project 🫶

New preprint 📚 "Identifying Fine-grained Forms of Populism in Political Discourse: A Case Study on Donald Trump's Presidential Campaigns", joint work with @stephaniebrandl.bsky.social and Paris Aslanidis. Link: arxiv.org/abs/2507.19303 #NLProc #PoliSci #LLMs 👇A TL;DR thread 🕸️ 1/5

Reviewer #2 🙃 "Note: Given the size of the language models used in this study (all models <= 13B), I encourage the authors to follow the literature and call them small language models (SLMs) instead of LLMs." Has anyone seen this notation in the literature?

NeurIPS is endorsing EurIPS, an independently-organized meeting which will offer researchers an opportunity to additionally present NeurIPS work in Europe concurrently with NeurIPS. Read more in our blog post and on the EurIPS website: blog.neurips.cc/2025/07/16/n... eurips.cc

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL or ICML and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/...

Join us this Friday for the final session of this spring’s Data Discussions! 💡

In a new paper, Malene Hornstrup Jespersen, Kristoffer Albris, and Helene Willadsen investigate the interrelations of different digital use cases and provide insights from which relevant conceptualizations of ‘screen time’ can be made📱 Read the paper here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thank you to Stefan Halfpap, Haralampos Gavriilidis, Lukas Pirch, and Stephanie Brandl for their excellent tutorials this afternoon at #BIFOLDDay2025. We look forward to the Spring Reception starting at 4 PM! @lpirch.bsky.social @stephaniebrandl.bsky.social @harrygav.bsky.social

Tomorrow is BIFOLD Day (April 30, 2025). We are looking forward to Tutorials on Data Visualization, Efficient Data Loading, Machine Learning with PyTorch-Geometric and Natural Language Processing.

Today we are releasing Kaleidoscope 🎉 A comprehensive multimodal & multilingual benchmark for VLMs! It contains real questions from exams in different languages. 🌍 20,911 questions and 18 languages 📚 14 subjects (STEM → Humanities) 📸 55% multimodal questions

At least there is no need to jailbreak the model anymore 🫠 (Is there a counterpart to make it nicer 🎭?)

I am recruiting 2 PhD students for Fall'25 @csaudk.bsky.social to work on bleeding-edge topics in #NLProc #LLMs #AIAgents (e.g. LLM reasoning, knowledge-seeking agents, and more). Details: www.cs.au.dk/~clan/openings Deadline: May 1, 2025 Please boost! cc: @aicentre.dk @wikiresearch.bsky.social

If you are working as an AC or SAC for ARR and would like to join some kind of *unofficial* Slack channel to ask each other questions and figure out this process together, please comment in this thread or send me a message. #ACL2025

I would love to get people's input on that for a current 👩‍🔬 research project 🫶

Would you consider asking an LLM like ChatGPT for voting advice, e..g, for national elections? 1️⃣ I have already done that 2️⃣ Maybe in the future 3️⃣ Only a public model trained for this purpose 4️⃣ I don’t think this is ever a good idea 📊 Show results

Looking forward to NoDaLiDa Copenhagen-edition 🥳

Honest question: how do people in NLP deal with the enormous stream of papers 📄 coming in on a daily basis? I would need three times the hours ⏳ to finish my reading list before new papers come in again 📚

The gender gap in young voters (<25) is remarkable. Women (left bars) predominantly vote left (34%) while men vote far-right (25%) and conservative (17%).
