At the #Neurips2025 mechanistic interpretability workshop I gave a brief talk about Venetian glassmaking, since I think we face a similar moment in AI research today. Here is a blog post summarizing the talk: davidbau.com/archives/202...

I’m recruiting a postdoc to work on algorithms for cancer genome reconstruction. We have access to a rich set of tumour samples sequenced across multiple technologies. If interested, feel free to DM. Please share.

🧑‍🔬I’m recruiting PhD students in Natural Language Processing @unileipzig.bsky.social Computer Science, together with @scadsai.bsky.social! Topics include, but aren’t limited to: 🔎Linguistic Interpretability 🌍Multilingual Evaluation 📖Computational Typology Please share! #NLProc #NLP

I will be @euripsconf.bsky.social this week to present our paper as non-archival at the PAIG workshop (Beyong Regulation: Private Governance & Oversight Mechanisms for AI). Very much looking forward to the discussions! If you are at #EurIPS and want to chat about LLM's training data. Reach out!

📢 Postdoc position 📢 I’m recruiting a postdoc for my lab at NYU! Topics include LM reasoning, creativity, limitations of scaling, AI for science, & more! Apply by Feb 1. (Different from NYU Faculty Fellows, which are also great but less connected to my lab.) Link in 🧵

There's a reviewer at ICLR who apparently always writes *exactly* 40 weaknesses and comments no matter what paper he's reviewing. Exhibit A: openreview.net/forum?id=8qk... Exhibit B: openreview.net/forum?id=GlX... Exhibit C: openreview.net/forum?id=kDh...

*Urgently* looking for emergency reviewers for the ARR October Interpretability track 🙏🙏 ReSkies much appreciated

Full house at BlackboxNLP at #EMNLP2025!! Getting ready for my 1.45PM keynote 😎 Join us in A102 to learn about "Memorization: myth or mystery?"

Outstanding paper (5/7): "Measuring Chain of Thought Faithfulness by Unlearning Reasoning Steps" by Martin Tutek, Fateme Hashemi Chaleshtori, Ana Marasovic, and Yonatan Belinkov aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-m... 6/n

Very honored to be one out of seven outstanding papers at this years' EMNLP :) Huge thanks to my amazing collaborators @fatemehc.bsky.social @anamarasovic.bsky.social @boknilev.bsky.social , this would not have been possible without them!

Presenting today our work "Unsupervised Word-level Quality Estimation Through the Lens of Annotator (Dis)agreement" at the Machine Translation morning session (Room A301, 11:45 China time). See you there! 🤗 Paper: aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-m... Slides/video/poster: underline.io/events/502/s...

Flying out to @emnlpmeeting soon🇨🇳 I'll present our parametric CoT faithfulness work (arxiv.org/abs/2502.14829) on Wednesday at the second Interpretability session, 16:30-18:00 local time A104-105 If you're in Suzhou, reach out to talk all things reasoning :)

⏰ One week left to apply for the two PhD Fellowships in Trustworthy NLP and Explainable NLU! The two positions have a starting date in spring 2026. Check the original post for more details👇

📣Tomorrow at #COLM2025: 1️⃣ Purbid's 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 at 𝐒𝐨𝐋𝐚𝐑 (𝟏𝟏:𝟏𝟓𝐚𝐦-𝟏:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦) on catching redundant preference pairs & how pruning them hurts accuracy; www.anamarasovic.com/publications... 2️⃣ My 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 at 𝐗𝐋𝐋𝐌-𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧-𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 (𝟏𝟐𝐩𝐦) on measuring CoT faithfulness by looking at internals, not just behaviorally 1/3

If you're at COLM, check out various works by Ana and her group!

🤔What happens when LLM agents choose between achieving their goals and avoiding harm to humans in realistic management scenarios? Are LLMs pragmatic or prefer to avoid human harm? 🚀 New paper out: ManagerBench: Evaluating the Safety-Pragmatism Trade-off in Autonomous LLMs🚀🧵

I won't be at COLM, so come see Yonatan talk about our work on estimating CoT faithfulness using machine unlearning! Check out the thread for the (many) other interesting works from his group 🎉

Here’s a #COLM2025 feed! Pin it 📌 to follow along with the conference this week!

Opportunities to join my group in fall 2026: * PhD applications direct or via ELLIS @ellis.eu (ellis.eu/news/ellis-p...) * Post-doc applications direct or via Azrieli (azrielifoundation.org/fellows/inte...) or Zuckerman (zuckermanstem.org/ourprograms/...)

What's the right unit of analysis for understanding LLM internals? We explore in our mech interp survey (a major update from our 2024 ms). We’ve added more recent work and more immediately actionable directions for future work. Now published in Computational Linguistics!

All your embarrassing secrets are training data (unless you are paying attention)

How many people would you estimate are currently actively publishing in ML research? From AAAI, which has ~29000 submissions: "There are 75,000+ unique submitting authors." NeurIPS had 25000 submissions. Is the number close to 300k? 500k?

Is there any information wrt. EMNLP limited registraton policy? I'm assuming registering authors should be safe, but idk about rest. Appreciate any information. Talking about this: "Given the expected popularity of EMNLP 2025, we may need to limit registration."

Thrilled that FUR was accepted to @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social Main🎉 In case you can’t wait so long to hear about it in person, it will also be presented as an oral at @interplay-workshop.bsky.social @colmweb.org 🥳 FUR is a parametric test assessing whether CoTs faithfully verbalize latent reasoning.

"Out of 13,048 reviewers..only 69 were deemed highly irresponsible..and enforcement was applied solely in those cases...These reviewers were contacted multiple times...as well as being personally contacted by the area chairs and senior area chairs, but still failed to fulfill them." 🫡🫡🫡

This year, EMNLP ended up desk rejecting ~100 papers. For more insight into the process, and potential future changes, please see this blog post from the PCs: 2025.emnlp.org/desk-rejecti... @christos-c.bsky.social @carolynrose.bsky.social @tanmoy-chak.bsky.social @violetpeng.bsky.social
