Extremely excited about this *new preprint*, where we use a collective field experiment with our own subreddits, which allowed us to uncover diverging factors for online participation between the very active and the passive. More details by the (as usual) *amazing* lead @lfoswaldo.bsky.social below👇

This is insane

How do major real-world events shape online conversations?
With Anna Mancini, @giuliocimini.bsky.social @ric-dicle.bsky.social we found that while activity surges, users repeat the same ideas at an accelerating pace, limiting meaningful discussions.

Characterizing Model Collapse in Large Language Models Using Semantic Networks and Next-Token Probability As synthetic content increasingly infiltrates the web, generative AI models may experience an autophagy process, where they are fine-tuned using their own outputs. This autophagy could lead to a pheno...

On the last Friday of each month, we host the Last Fridays Talks, where one of our seven Collaboratories shares insights from their current work. Join us for a discussion on results and recent papers, followed by socializing afterward for anyone who wishes to attend.

End your January on a high note! Join us at the Pioneer Centre for AI for two thought-provoking talks and insightful discussions.

Hi, can I be added? :D

To researchers doing LLM evaluation: prompting is *not a substitute* for direct probability measurements. Check out the camera-ready version of our work, to appear at EMNLP 2023! (w/ @rplevy.bsky.social)

the code behind is art

Since Oct 7th, NYT reported on antisemitism 5 times more often than on Islamophobia

The Times mentioned Israel and Israelis more often than others in their coverage each week since October 7th ... while the death toll in Gaza surpassed 25 times the Israeli death toll as of March

Times coverage of the war on Gaza quoted both Israeli and American sources more often than Palestinian ones

The Times used passive voice to describe Palestinians 1.7 times more often than when describing Israelis ...and used active voice with different vocabulary

Proud to have been part of the team that computationally analyzed the New York Times' biased coverage of Israel and Palestine. This is part of a broader effort by Writers Against the War On Gaza, who released today a tour-de-force exposé of NYT: newyorkwarcrimes.com
