🚨New paper alert🚨 🤔 Ever wondered how the way you write a persona prompt affects how well an LLM simulates people? In our
#EMNLP2025
paper, we find that using interview-style persona prompts makes LLM social simulations less biased and more aligned with human opinions. 🧵1/7

Do LLMs represent the people they're supposed simulate or provide personalized assistance to? We review the current literature in our

LLMs can understand political discourse, but can they actually predict votes of real politicians? Excited to share my work at

LLMs can generate synthetic survey responses, e.g. for imputation, but how reliable are they? 📋 At
#IC2S2
, I'll be sharing our research on the robustness of AI-generated responses to perturbations and if they mirror human survey biases. 🤖 Come by my poster on Tuesday between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.

Very excited to head to
#IC2S2
next week! 🎉 In our project, we tested whether a psychological assessment can measure sexism in LLMs, and found that applying such tools to LLMs is not as straightforward as it seems. Find me and my poster at Poster Session 1 (Tue 12:30-14:30) — hope to see you there
