I'm so grateful to the British Computing Society & Bloomberg for honouring me with the Karen Spรคrck Jones Award ๐Ÿ™ I gave the award lecture on LLMsโ€™ Utilisation of Parametric & Contextual Knowledge at #ECIR2025 today (slides: isabelleaugenstein.github.io/slides/2025_...) www.bcs.org/membership-a...

๐ŸšจNew pre-print ๐Ÿšจ News articles often convey different things in text vs. image. Recent work in computational framing analysis has analysed the article text but the corresponding images in those articles have been overlooked. We propose multi-modal framing analysis of news: arxiv.org/abs/2503.20960

New preprint: "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization" We propose *unstructured* evidence attribution for long context summarization and a synthetic dataset called SUnsET which can help models perform this task.

(arxiv.org/abs/2502.14132) Fact-checking agencies have come under intense scrutiny in recent months regarding their role in combating misinformation on social media.

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

Our work comparing highlight and interactive explanations has been accepted to #NAACL2025! arxiv.org/pdf/2406.15085 Despite being a less explored approach, span interactive explanations outperform other explanation types across multiple dimensions. #XAI #NLProc @copenlu.bsky.social

Check our new work on making natural language explanations more faithful to a modelโ€™s reasoning. We combine GNNs + highlight explanations to improve faithfulness! Read more: arxiv.org/pdf/2412.12318 @copenlu.bsky.social

How can explainable AI empower fact-checkers to tackle misinformation? ๐Ÿ“ฐ๐Ÿค– We interviewed fact-checkers & identified explanation needs & design implications for #NLP, #HCI, and #XAI. Excited to present this work with @iaugenstein.bsky.social & Irina Shklovski at #chi2025! arxiv.org/abs/2502.09083

๐Ÿ“„ New preprint: "Collecting Cost-Effective, High-Quality Truthfulness Assessments with LLM Summarized Evidence" We show: fact checking w/ crowd workers is more efficient when using LLM summaries, quality doesn't suffer. arxiv.org/abs/2501.18265

๐Ÿ“ข ๐Ÿ“… After a long process of soliciting & vetting bids, I'm excited that we've finally been able to reveal the location for #EMNLP2025 -- it'll be at the International Expo Centre, Suzhou, China from 5-9 November 2025. Looking forward to seeing you there! #NLProc #EMNLP2024

๐ŸŒดGood morning, #EMNLP2024! Want to learn more about our research? This is what we're presenting ๐Ÿ“œ Also, I'm chairing the business meeting & have the honour of revealing the #EMNLP2025 location in the closing session. Don't miss it! ๐Ÿคฉ #NLProc Paper links: isabelleaugenstein.github.io/publications...

๐Ÿ‘‹Psst! Want more faithful, verifiable and robust #LLM reasoning than with CoT, but using external solvers is meh?

At #EMNLP2024 we will present our paper on LLM values and opinions! We introduce tropes: repeated and consistent phrases which LLMs generate to argue for political stances. Read the paper to learn more! arxiv.org/abs/2406.19238 Work done Uni Copenhagen + Pioneer Center for AI
