So honored to receive this recognition. Can't thank enough those who supported me along the way. Feels like a dream to receive an award named after two legends, @ladamic.bsky.social @nglance.bsky.social. #ICWSM is special to my heart, sad to have missed it this year. Thank you, @icwsm.bsky.social. ❤️

Our recent work at JMIR Aging, with @ravikarkar.bsky.social, and led by Sidharth, Chunyu, and Yoshee.

In another #CHI2025 paper led led by Charlotte Lambert, in collaboration with @kous2v.bsky.social, we conducted a quasi-experimental study and found that Reddit users who received “high scores” and “gold” made more frequent and higher quality posts (i.e., higher scores and fewer removals).

Continuing our work on LLMs for content moderation, our #NAACL2025 shows that SLMs can outperform LLMs with higher accuracy, better recall, and easier fine-tuning for community norms—making them a scalable, convenient, and cost-effective choice. /w @agam-goyal.bsky.social @ceshwar.bsky.social

Q: Are fine-tuned SLMs better than LLMs at identifying online content that violate community norms?🤖⚖️ A: Yes! Find out more in our #NAACL2025 paper co-lead by @agam-goyal.bsky.social and Xianyang Zhan, in collaboration with Yilun Chen and @kous2v.bsky.social. 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2410.13155
