@milanlp.bsky.social @ #ACL2025 in #Vienna!

#NLProc

Very excited about all these papers on sociotechnical alignment & the societal impacts of AI at #ACL2025.

As is now tradition, I made some timetables to help me find my way around. Sharing here in case others find them useful too :) 🧵

Measuring *social and political biases* in LLMs is more important than ever, now that >500 million people use LLMs.

I am particularly excited to check out work on this by @kldivergence.bsky.social @1e0sun.bsky.social @jacyanthis.bsky.social @anjaliruban.bsky.social

*pluralism* in human values & preferences (e.g. with personalisation) will also just
grow more important for a global diversity of users.

@morlikow.bsky.social is presenting our poster today at 1100. Also hyped for @michaelryan207.bsky.social's work and @verenarieser.bsky.social's keynote!

Finally, there's a couple of papers on *LLM persuasion* on the schedule today. Particularly looking forward to Jillian Fisher's talk on biased LLMs influencing political decision-making!

Otherwise, you can find me in the audience of the great @manueltonneau.bsky.social oral *today at 1410*. Manuel will present our work on a first global representative dataset of hate speech on Twitter:

bsky.app/profile/manu...

I will also be at @tiancheng.bsky.social's oral *today at 1430* in the SRW. Tiancheng will present a non-archival sneak peek of our work on benchmarking the ability of LLMs to simulate group-level human behaviours:

Finally, I will be with @carolin-holtermann.bsky.social and @a-lauscher.bsky.social to present our work on evaluating geotemporal reasoning ability in LLMs. This will be in the Wednesday 1100 poster session:

Let me know if I missed anything in the timetables, and please say hi if you want to chat about sociotechnical alignment, safety, the societal impact of AI, or related topics :) Here is a link to the timetable sheet 👇 See you around!

#MemoryMonday #NLProc Attanasio et al.'s "Twists, Humps, and Pebbles" paper (which won Social Impact Award) reveals disparities in speech models across 19 languages! 🌍🗣️

On my way to #ACL2025NLP ✈️ 🇦🇹

Really looking forward to meeting many people in person and engage in some discussion on hate speech, misinformation, and narrative perspectives.

Many other people from @gronlp.bsky.social 🐮will also be there, don’t be shy and say “hi!”
