When we ask an LLM to “reason” about an ethical question, what kind of reasoning are we really invoking? Our #EMNLP2025 paper with Mohna Chakraborty and Lu Wang explores how value-grounded prompting can move moral reasoning beyond surface pattern-matching.

What if a single model could recognize an author's writing style no matter what language they wrote in? 🌍✍️ Our new #EMNLP2025 paper explores multilingual authorship representation, showing how training across 36 languages can sharpen stylistic signals and reduce topic bias. 👇🧵

ChatGPT is writing this quote post. Actually, not. But if it did, would it write a better post than I could as an author—and would you as a reader be more likely to engage with it?

Do folks really find the ARR checklist valuable enough to justify that a paper submission takes this much effort?

Why do some emails get a reply and not others? Does it have more to do with how you write it or who you are—or maybe both? In our new #NAACL2025 paper we looked at 11M emails to causally test what factors will help you get a reply. 📬

I sincerely think that universities should suspend their productivity standards for scientists and ask them instead to hold town halls in schools, public libraries, museums, shopping malls, and anywhere else and communicate what is being lost with the collapse of the research ecosystem.

I'm grateful for the chance to write this and so impressed by all the amazing things scientists are doing in Central Illinois and the impact the NSF/NIH are having in my hometown. Many thanks to the folks at @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social for this initiave and all the resources to get started

I'd love to see this for the NSF and NIH to highlight all the breakthroughs of the year and all the cool translation of research to practice.

This project was so much fun. There's plenty of morality-related out there in NLP but we realized there is almost no data about the people annotating—including their values. @shivanikumar.bsky.social and I created UniMoral to fill this gap *and* unify a bunch of moral tasks in a single framework
