One of the activities I like the least (though something I do almost daily) is searching for my glasses without my glasses.

Question: Is there any other example than 2024 FAccT (and I believe AIES) of a computing conference which similarly encourages authors to include positionality statements?

Created a small starter pack including folks whose work I believe contributes to more rigorous and grounded AI research -- I'll grow this slowly and likely move it to a list at some point :) go.bsky.app/P86UbQw

I've been encouraged by what to me feels as an increased attention to and appreciation for conceptual clarity over the last few years. I, however, don't feel that is the case when it comes to terminological clarity and rigor; and I think conceptual clarity is likely not possible without it

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon. Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

✨New Work✨ forthcoming at the #NeurIPS2024 #EvalEval workshop: NLP researchers have developed myriad instruments (tools, benchmarks, etc.) for measuring representational harms caused by LLM-based systems. But to what extent are these instruments actually used (and useful) in practice?

really baffled by the fact that TikTok apparently won the first round of presidential elections in Romania - I have never heard of this individual until yesterday and I am pretty astonished by it

🚚 Moving threads about my #nlp papers from Twitter to here 🚚 Do NLP benchmark measurements provide meaningful insights about the evaluated models? To help practitioners answer these questions, we introduce ECBD - a conceptual framework that formalizes the process of benchmark design 🧵.

🚚 Moving threads about my #nlp papers from Twitter to here 🚚 How and when, and with which issues, does the text summarization community engage with responsible AI? 🤔 In this #EMNLP2023 paper, we examine reporting and research practices across 300 summarization papers published between 2020-2022 🧵
