Wondering what makes each of us unique and how AI should handle human diversity? 🤔 We're organizing Identity-Aware AI workshop at #ECAI2025 Bologna on Oct 25. Deadline: Aug 22 Website: identity-aware-ai.github.io

Best Resource Paper (1/2) #ACL2025NLP

I'll be at #ACL2025 with a variety of papers on podcasts, linguistic accommodation, whether papers cite accurately, multilingual morals, demographically-prompted LLMs, how tokenization affects style recognition, and new multilingual data for author attribution. Looking forward to catching up!

Do you using GenAI to help code? My colleague Elle O'Brien is running a study to answer questions about your programming practices and tool usage, including experiences with AI code assistants. The survey is anonymous and should take no more than 10-15 minutes to complete.

This paper was such a fun collaboration—and a surprising result. I fully expected we could train LLMs to learn demographic preferences in ratings but

Wanna do some authorship attribution? Chances are what tokenizer you use matters. Tokenization is Sensitive to Language Variation, probably, more investigation necessary... 📄 ACL Findings paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.15343 🧑‍🏫 @dongng.bsky.social @davidjurgens.bsky.social and myself See you at ACL!

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? We wanted to test this and the fearless @andersgiovanni.com built a whole social media platform for us to experiment...

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. 📬

#AI has evolved, it's time for better evaluations. But how can we get more effective benchmarks in "the wild"? Together with folks from the AI Lab at @umich.edu, we put together a white paper outlining our vision. Lu Wang and I summarize this vision for The Hill at thehill.com/opinion/tech...

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.

We’ve covered so much ground, so fast! In just one month since launching, we’ve reached thousands of Americans. But there’s more to do. Join us at sciencehomecoming.com to see our map of published articles and learn how you can contribute. 🧪🏠

How accurately do citations reflect the original research? Do authors truly engage with what they cite? In a new study, we analyze millions of citation sentence pairs to measure citation fidelity and how it varies depending on authors’ engagement with prior literature. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20581 ⬇️

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

New preprint: "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization" We propose *unstructured* evidence attribution for long context summarization and a synthetic dataset called SUnsET which can help models perform this task. Paper link: arxiv.org/abs/2502.14409 Thread ⬇️

📢 Based on the recommendation from peer review committee, ARR switches from 8 to 10-week cycles. This will allow for a saner cycle schedule. See the full report here: www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/im... The ARR website is now updated with the new submission dates: aclrollingreview.org/dates

In a rare non-NLP tweet, I was struck by today's US politics and reminded of an anecdote before I was a computer scientist, when I studied political science and philosophy. In Machiavelli's The Prince, he describes the rule of Cesare Borgia who appointed Ramiro d'Orco as an administrator.
