Very excited that my paper with @katakeith.bsky.social is now out in @polanalysis.bsky.social. We investigate whether LLMs actually follow the instructions/definitions provided in codebooks, propose some diagnostics, and release a new evaluation dataset. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Topic @adeldaoud.bsky.social and I were discussing today at lunch at #ic2s2 and want to ask here: What are the “known facts” in the social sciences? Which relationships between at least two social variables have been empirically found to have large effects and replicated by multiple groups?

Highlighting this thread. Based on what I'm seeing at #ic2s2 this week, this line of work is hot (if a bit crowded), but I predict will only be more widely adopted by social scientists in the future.

Congrats to Alisa Kanganis (Williams College ’25) for presenting her thesis work at #ic2s2 today!

This was top-down decision and Williams faculty have yet to formally discuss it. Unclear whether it is resistance or capitulation. www.science.org/content/arti...

Honored by the feature on my research, grant, and GPU cluster by the Williams magazine. today.williams.edu/magazine/a-c...

A full room for @katakeith.bsky.social's talk on proximal causal inference with text data ✨✨✨

We're hiring new #nlp faculty this year! Asst or Assoc Professors in NLP at UMass CICS -- careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-u...

I'm excited to share that we've released v1.0 of our podcast corpus, SPoRC, led by my PhD student Ben Litterer! This first dataset is a slice of time, comprising over one million episodes from May and June 2020, including transcripts, diarization, and extracted audio features.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

New here? Interested in AI/ML? Check out these great starter packs! AI: go.bsky.app/SipA7it RL: go.bsky.app/3WPHcHg Women in AI: go.bsky.app/LaGDpqg NLP: go.bsky.app/SngwGeS AI and news: go.bsky.app/5sFqVNS You can also search all starter packs here: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

In my NLP class (www.cs.williams.edu/~kkeith/teac...) next week, we're talking about eval. I'd like to have a large section of the lecture focus on contamination. Crowd-sourcing--please send me your favorite contamination papers! Thanks! 🙏
