It's great to read old methods sections. Pretend to be a lost shopper and secretly study language. Thanks Labov.

When I say my name, people start speaking French to me, although my French is basic. That also happens with AI systems. We wrote a whole paper on that, testing across models for presumed cultural identity based on names w/ Siddhesh Pawar @rnv.bsky.social @iaugenstein.bsky.social

I wrote down some thoughts about what sociolinguistics can contribute to LLMs and vice versa, now available dx.doi.org/10.1111/lnc3...

It's Sunday morning so taking a minute for a nerdy thread (on math, tokenizers and LLMs) of the work of our intern Garreth By adding a few lines of code to the base Llama 3 tokenizer, he got a free boost in arithmetic performance 😮 [thread]

✨New pre-print!✨ Successful language technologies should work for a wide variety of languages. But some languages have systematically worse performance than others. In this paper we ask whether performance differences are due to morphological typology. Spoiler: I don’t think so! #NLP #linguistics

Turns out I'm terrible at stopping things. Current tasks feel like **the** most important thing ever • Email: networking genius at work • Code: shit happens; must refactor the entire universe • Write: find all the meaning; clearly my true calling • Advise: help others thrive; Future = Shaped

Our paper on the effect of ChatGPT on activity on @stackoverflow.com.web.brid.gy is out: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... @maria-drc.bsky.social, Nadzeya Laurentsyeva & I find a 25% decrease in activity on SO within 6 months of #ChatGPT 's release vs counterfactuals. Why does it matter?

Cool work by @jhuclsp colleagues Rafael Rivera Soto and Nick Andrews on how AI-generated text carries unique stylistic fingerprints, enabling the detection and identification of specific language models. Based on ICLR paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2401.06712 hub.jhu.edu/2024/11/18/a...

#EMNLP has a nice set of tokenization/subword modeling papers this year. It's a good mix of tokenization algorithms, tokenization evaluation, tokenization-free methods, and subword embedding probing. Lmk if I missed some! Here is a list with links + presentation time (in chronological order).
