Memories! It didn't get all the love it deserved 💔

Our pick of the week by @apierg.bsky.social: "Glitter: A Multi-Sentence, Multi-Reference Benchmark for Gender-Fair German Machine Translation" by Praval, @jhackenbuchner.bsky.social, @gattanasio.cc, and @a-lauscher.bsky.social (EMNLP 2025 Findings)

Despite massive push back from the right, My Voice My Choice is moving forward and one step closer to safe & accessible abortion in all of the EU. We will continue fighting & supporting @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social until the abortion laws in the EU are harmonised.

Glad to announce a new edition of #GITT 😍

The CALAMITA (Challenging the Abilities of LAnguage Models in ITAlian) paper is now available on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2512.04759 We warmly thank all the individuals involved for their extraordinary work, dedication, and collaborative spirit that made this project possible!

What coding with an LLM feels like sometimes.

A field seeking artificial intelligence... and writing research findings on a broken web app, commenting on tiny columns on the side, with bubbles/conversations that disappear if you scroll away, barely visible or locatable, and an unusable edit tracker... and paying for that.

#MemoryModay #NLProc 'Benchmarking Post-Hoc Interpretability Approaches for Transformer-based Misogyny Detection' - Attanasio et al. Explores reliability of interpretability in hate speech detection.

There's too little political debate in my BSky feed. I really really really really hope the Flotilla will succeed in its goals. I wish I would be able to do more for the cause 🍉

Uniting 44 nations, the Global Sumud Flotilla sails to support Gaza and challenge injustice. Let’s make our voices heard. #GlobalSolidarity #GlobalSumudFlotilla #StandWithGaza#SailToGaza #BreakTheSiege #GlobalMovementToGaza

🔴 LIVE NOW: The first keynote of the Gender Bias in NLP workshop! @a-lauscher.bsky.social is telling A Fairy Tale of Gender in Language Technology. #ACL2025 #GeBNLP #NLP

👀 Interested in gender bias in NLP and MT evaluation? I strongly encourage you to check out our poster presentations held by @manoszar.bsky.social! 👉🏻 Poster Session 3, today (July 29) from 16:00–17:30 OR at the Gender Bias Workshop, Friday (Aug 1) during Poster Session 2, 14:00–14:45. #acl2025

As neural metrics are a pillar for #MT, being extensively used for evaluation but also improving translation, we'd want them to be fair. 🚨 Our #ACL2025 paper shows they consistently, unduly favor masculine-inflected translations, or gendered forms, over neutral ones. arxiv.org/pdf/2410.10995

Just wanted to mention that besides me rattling on about speech, social biases, and NLP in the coziest of environments, that TV starred in a blazing karaoke night just a few hours earlier 🎙️ Thanks again for the invitation @milanlp.bsky.social :)

After all these years of publishing, still surprised by how much the luck of drawing meaningfully engaged reviewers and an AC, matters in peer review

Good morning @mtsummit2025.bsky.social ! 🌞 We're ready to kick off #GITT2025 in a few minutes. We'll be live skywriting (is that the tweeting equivalent of 'tweeting'? It is now) using our hashtag. Looking forward! 🤩

(totally unbiased opinion): Cool paper!

Stiamo facendo questa cosa... Una mano è sempre ben accetta :) 🙏

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

🔍 Stiamo studiando come l'AI viene usata in Italia e per farlo abbiamo costruito un sondaggio! 👉 bit.ly/sondaggio_ai... (è anonimo, richiede ~10 minuti, e se partecipi o lo fai girare ci aiuti un sacco🙏) Ci interessa anche raggiungere persone che non si occupano e non sono esperte di AI!

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/...

I am in Boston because I believe in American democracy. I love our freedoms and our culture. I want to be teaching US students. And I want to live and teach here in my home, where I grew up. Why are we setting our home on fire? www.theguardian.com/us-news/202...

More great news! 🎉 Our paper “Echoes of Phonetics: Unveiling Relevant Acoustic Cues for ASR via Feature Attribution” has been accepted at #Interspeech2025! If you’re interested in interpretability for speech models, stay tuned, the preprint is coming soon!

Some of my newer work with many found that GenAI models (like Claude) create fake articles to justify discrimination. Fabricating articles for law isn't surprising...so why use them that way? =/ techcrunch.com/2025/05/15/a... (Real) article on our work: www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/30/1...

Wish I had a single @overleaf.com keyboard shortcut that would 1) append whatever I have in my clipboard to my bib file, 2) parse it, 3) extract the bibkey, and 4) paste it at my current cursor location in the editor.

Some news many years in the making: My book EMPIRE OF AI, out May 20, is ready for pre-order at empireofai.com. It tells the inside story of OpenAI as a lens for understanding the moment we’re in: the tech elite's extraordinary seizure of power and its threat to democracy. 1/

to budding scholars out there: your scientific paper is as good as your ability to present a clear and coherent storyline. without your compelling narrative, i have no reason to care about your data or findings

Apple Mail checking and preventing you from sending that email that mentions an attached document and is, inevitably, without any attachments. Yes, that's pure, intelligent, human-centered design.

📣 New paper alert! We released a new safety benchmark for VLMs with a core focus on test cases that become unsafe by combining text and images. TL;DR: many modern VLMs are unsafe across various types of queries and languages. arxiv.org/abs/2501.10057 huggingface.co/datasets/fel...

Today, we are releasing MSTS, a new Multimodal Safety Test Suite for vision-language models! MSTS is exciting because it tests for safety risks *created by multimodality*. Each prompt consists of a text + image that *only in combination* reveal their full unsafe meaning. 🧵

🙌 Exciting chat and thought-provoking discussions on recent breakthroughs and ethical challenges surrounding Gen AI!

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.
