At EACL '26, TakeLab members are presenting two papers. Feel free to stop by if you'd like to chat about simple tricks to improve LLM token embeddings, principled evaluation of synthetic data, coffee, or life in general. Details below 👇🧵 @eaclmeeting.bsky.social #EACL2026 #NLProc 🇲🇦

ManagerBench was accepted to ICLR! @iclr-conf.bsky.social #ICLR2026 LLMs are still either unsafe, or completely harm avoidant - even when the harm affects furniture 🛋️ Check out our benchmark, online or in Rio 🇧🇷

We already know prompt repetition is a handy hack to improve a decoder-only LM’s performance as it allows the model to “see” bidirectionally, an ability otherwise suppressed by the causal mask. But what happens if we increase the number of repetitions? 🤔🧵 @eaclmeeting.bsky.social #EACL2026

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!

Back from #ICML2025 🛬, and off 🚄 to Norrköping 🇸🇪 for #ic2s2 CLAN (cs.au.dk/~clan/) members are presenting 2 papers: 1 spotlight and 1 oral. See 🧵for posters and summaries 👋 Reach out to chat about observational studies, causality, LLM agents, human-centered AI etc.

📣📣 New preprint alert!! Despite events in the world becoming bleaker, the news is… more positive? We conduct a diachronic study of word embeddings trained on 10M Croatian news articles spanning 25 years and find some surprising results! arxiv.org/abs/2506.13569
