Greta Thunberg, after trying to do the humanitarian work our governments are supposed to be doing: "Whatever the odds are, we have to keep trying…when you look at the state of the world, everything feels meaningless — but unless you try to do everything you can, that's when we lose our hope, no?"

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

if you are using primarily local models, which ones are you using and for what lately?

Happy to share that I've joined the Apple Machine Learning Research team in Copenhagen as a research intern! Will continue to build on topics from my PhD, equitably advancing LLM access for all, working with @maartjeterhoeve.bsky.social and Natalie Schluter.

This popped up on HN the other day, and it was one of the more fun “classical cryptography” posts I’ve seen in ages. Roughly speaking, someone discovered that AI models like Claude can decode the Caesar cipher, even when the “key” used is enormous. fi-le.net/byzantine/

When we read the news, images can convey different things than text itself. Unlike other works which look at text, we study this as a “multimodal” framing problem & analyze where text and images communicate different “frames”. Checkout our paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2503.20960 @aicentre.dk

New study with @iaugenstein.bsky.social’s group analyzing the interplay between photos and text in the news

New work on multimodal framing! 💫 Some fun results: comparisons of the same frame when expressed in images vs texts. When the "crime" frame is expressed in the article text, there are more political words in the text, but when the frame is expressed in the article image, more police words.

🚨New pre-print 🚨 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

I have sort of given up on proactively updating the Danish Machine Learning Peoples starter pack. If anyone thinks that they should be added or know someone who should, please don't hesitate to comment here or sent a message 🤗. bsky.app/starter-pack...

📢New Paper Alert!🚀 Human alignment balances social expectations, economic incentives, and legal frameworks. What if LLM alignment worked the same way?🤔 Our latest work explores how social, economic, and contractual alignment can address incomplete contracts in LLM alignment🧵

New preprint! Metaphors shape how people understand politics, but measuring them (& their real-world effects) is hard. We develop a new method to measure metaphor & use it to study dehumanizing metaphor in 400K immigration tweets Link: bit.ly/4i3PGm3 #NLP #NLProc #polisky #polcom #compsocialsci 🐦🐦

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

Science is political. It wouldn't necessarily have to be partisan. But when one party is opposed to science-based policy, scientists have a choice between saying "you're right, thoughts and prayers are probably as effective as reducing carbon emissions" or saying "fuck that."

When I grew up in Sweden in the 1990s the government distributed the book “Tell Ye Your Children”. Its purpose is to remind people how fascism, and seeing oneself as better than others can lead to inhuman evil. I think about it often and recommend you read it too.

Over the last few years, several people from the @milanlp.bsky.social lab went onto the academic job market in #NLP. Based on the conversations with them, I collected some observations we shared internally. In case they are useful for others, though, here they are: dirkhovy.com/post/2025_01...

Today, we are releasing MSTS, a new Multimodal Safety Test Suite for vision-language models! MSTS is exciting because it tests for safety risks *created by multimodality*. Each prompt consists of a text + image that *only in combination* reveal their full unsafe meaning. 🧵

A few facts and thoughts on fact-checking 🧵 • Fact-checking is NOT in opposition to free speech and debates. It is a significant contribution to public discourse. • Fact-checking works. Research shows how fact-checking can affect public perceptions and contribute to corrective mechanisms. [1/4]
