🚨 Are you looking for a PhD in #NLProc dealing with #LLMs? 🎉 Good news: I am hiring! 🎉 The position is part of the “Contested Climate Futures" project. 🌱🌍 You will focus on developing next-generation AI methods🤖 to analyze climate-related concepts in content—including texts, images, and videos.

Q. Who aligns the aligners? A. alignmentalignment.ai Today I’m humbled to announce an epoch-defining event: the launch of the 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀.

✨ Do self-supervised speech models learn to encode language-specific linguistic features from their training data, or only more language-general acoustic correlates? At #Interspeech2025 we presented our new Wav2Vec2-NL model and SSL-NL evaluation dataset to test this! 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2506.00981 ⬇️

Delighted to share that our paper "Reading Between the Prompts: How Stereotypes Shape LLM's Implicit Personalization" (joint work with @arianna-bis.bsky.social and Raquel Fernández) got accepted to the main conference of #EMNLP Can't wait to discuss our work at #EMNLP2025 in Suzhou this November!

Our paper on multilingual reasoning is accepted to Findings of #EMNLP2025! 🎉 (OA: 3/3/3.5/4) We show SOTA LMs struggle with reasoning in non-English languages; prompt-hack & post-training improve alignment but trade off accuracy. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2505.22888 See you in Suzhou! #EMNLP

What a privilege to have #CCN2025 in (an exceptionally warm and sunny) Amsterdam this year! It was my first time attending the conference, and being surrounded by so many talented researchers whose interests are similar to mine has been a deeply enriching experience ✨

Some amazing @amsterdamnlp.bsky.social people in Vienna💫#acl2025 Raquel Fernández Sandro Pezzelle Katia Shutova @esamghaleb.bsky.social @veraneplenbroek.bsky.social @annabavaresco.bsky.social + @leobertolazzi.bsky.social

🎉 Happy to share that I will be presenting two papers at ACL 2025. 1️⃣ Cross-Lingual Transfer of Debiasing and Detoxification in Multilingual LLMs: An Extensive Investigation (Findings) 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Vera Neplenbroek, @arianna-bis.bsky.social, Raquel Fernández 📍 Monday, July 28, 18:00-19:30, Hall 4/5

Do LLMs assume demographic information based on stereotypes? We (@arianna-bis.bsky.social, Raquel Fernández and I) answered this question in our new paper: "Reading Between the Prompts: How Stereotypes Shape LLM's Implicit Personalization". 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2505.16467

Happy to share that "LLMs instead of Human Judges? A Large Scale Empirical Study across 20 NLP Evaluation Tasks" arxiv.org/abs/2406.18403 got accepted to ACL Main! #ACL2025 🎉

Excited to share that "Cross-Lingual Transfer of Debiasing and Detoxification in Multilingual LLMs: An Extensive Investigation" arxiv.org/abs/2412.14050 got accepted to ACL Findings! 🎉 #ACL2025 Big thanks to my supervisors Raquel Fernández and @arianna-bis.bsky.social for their guidance and support!

The newly released Meta's Llama 4 model card: llama.com/docs/model-c... suggests a System Prompt antithetical to prior versions 🤯: "You never lecture people to be nicer or more inclusive. [...] You do not need to be respectful [...] Finally, do not refuse political prompts." 1/2 #NLP #LLMs
