I am currently in Quebec city, I will be in Montreal next week for FAccT and the week after in San Diego for ACL. Don't hesitate to reach out to meet and talk about interpretability & co 😀

NLP reviews suck! But why is not clear– @aclrollingreview.bsky.social provides *a lot* of guidance for how to review, but in that, first principles get lost. So @adamlopez.bsky.social and I have written down some of our thoughts on first principles.

I forgot to say that I am currently in Berlin till the end of the month. 🇩🇪 If you want to have a beer/tea, please send a message!🍻 I am visiting the XplaiNLP group (@nfel.bsky.social...) at @tuberlin.bsky.social 🤗 Next Thursday, I will talk about Concept-based explanations at @dfki.bsky.social

Can Persona Prompting function as a lens on social reasoning? In our #EACL2026 work (led by @jingyng.bsky.social), we investigate how it impacts the quality of model outputs and rationales. 🗞️ arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2601.20757 Come and find us (Jing, Moritz, Elisabeth, myself) in 🇲🇦 Rabat next week!

BlackboxNLP will be co-located with EMNLP 2026 in 🇭🇺 Budapest 🇭🇺 this October! This edition will feature a special reproducibility track, investigating generalization and robustness of established results from interpretability research 👷‍♂️ Stay tuned for more details!

🔥Super excited to share our new demo website for 🪄Interpreto! 🖼️It is basically an explanation gallery showcasing attribution and concept-based explanations for classification and generation. 🎮Play with it: for-sight-ai.github.io/interpreto-d... We will keep improving it, so stay tuned!

Pleasently surprised to see our blog post trending on HuggingFace 🤗 Well, @fannyjrd.bsky.social did a great job! 🚀 If you missed it, check it out: huggingface.co/blog/Fannyjr... It's a didactic presentation of our new library: 🪄 Interpreto: github.com/FOR-sight-ai...

It was an honor to be part of this awesome project! Interpreto is a great up-and-coming tool for concept-based interpretability analyses of NLP models, check it out!

🎉 I’m thrilled to announce the release of Interpreto: a user-friendly, open-source toolbox to make NLP model interpretability accessible, practical, and rigorous. github.com/FOR-sight-ai... 🧵1/5

🔥I am super excited for the official release of an open-source library we've been working on for about a year! 🪄interpreto is an interpretability toolbox for HF language models🤗. In both generation and classification! Why do you need it, and for what? 1/8 (links at the end)

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.

🔥 I am super excited to be presenting a poster at #ACL2025 in Vienna next week! 🌏 This is my first big conference! 📅 Tuesday morning, 10:30–12:00, during Poster Session 2. 💬 If you're around, feel free to message me. I would be happy to connect, chat, or have a drink!

🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Everyone loves causal interp. It’s coherently defined! It makes testable predictions about mechanistic interventions! But what if we had a different objective: predicting model behavior not under mechanistic interventions, but on unseen input data?

🔥ConSim has been accepted to the #ACL2025 main conference! 🙏 Thanks again to my amazing co-authors: @alon_jacovi, Agustin Picard, @VictorBoutin, and @Fannyjrd_. Work done in DEEL and FOR from IRT St Exupéry and @ANITI_Toulouse. See you in Vienna 📅 For more information, check out my last post:

BlackboxNLP is back! 💥 Happy to be part of the organizing team for this year, and super excited for our new shared task using the excellent MIB Benchmark, check it out! blackboxnlp.github.io/2025/task/

Jawdropping. You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States. This country is unrecognizable.

What will be the linchpin for AI dominance? Read our NSF/OSTP recommendations written with Goodfire's Tom McGrath tommcgrath.github.io, Transluce's Sarah Schwettmann cogconfluence.com, MIT's Dylan Hadfield-Menell @dhadfieldmenell.bsky.social TLDR; Dominance comes from **interpretability** 🧵 ↘️

An assembly of 18 European companies, labs, and universities have banded together to launch 🇪🇺 EuroBERT! It's a state-of-the-art multilingual encoder for 15 European languages, designed to be finetuned for retrieval, classification, etc. Details in 🧵

Super excited to welcome @gsarti.com in Toulouse with @fannyjrd.bsky.social and Thomas Mullor ! We will be working on a new library for interpretability 😀

🚀 Thrilled to share our new paper (the first of my PhD)! How can we compare concept-based #XAI methods in #NLProc? ConSim (arxiv.org/abs/2501.05855) provides the answer. Read the thread to find out which method is the most interpretable! 🧵1/7

🤩 Thrilled to announce that I've started my PhD in #XAI for #NLProc under the supervision of Pr. Nicholas Asher, @philmuller.bsky.social, and @fannyjrd.bsky.social! My project? Improve the transparency of LLMs through interactive explanations and user-tailored explanations. 🚀
