🧵on my new paper "Synthetic personas distort the structure of human belief systems" w Roberto Cerina I'm v excited about...
🚨 Do synthetic samples look like human samples?
We compare 28 LLMs to the 2024 General Social Survey (GSS) to find out + develop host of diagnostics...
Seems to be a common situation for ACs this round, but I'm also looking for two emergency reviewers for the January #ARR Evaluation and Resources track. I'd appreciate any help (reposts, encouragement, black magic...)

The second new class I'm teaching is a very experimental graduate level seminar in CSE: "Building Small Language Models". I taught the grad level NLP class last semester (so fun!) but students wanted more—which of these new ideas work, and which work for SLMs? jurgens.people.si.umich.edu/CSE598-004/
New year, new job? If that is your current mantra, check the open postdoc positions with Debora Nozza and me at our lab. Deadline is January 31st.

🚨 New main paper out at #EMNLP2025! 🚨
⚡ We show that personalization of content moderation models can be harmful and perpetuate hate speech, defeating the purpose of the system and hurting the community.
We argue that personalized moderation needs boundaries, and we show how to build them.
There’s plenty of evidence for political bias in LLMs, but very few evals reflect realistic LLM use cases — which is where bias actually matters.
IssueBench, our attempt to fix this, is accepted at TACL, and I will be at #EMNLP2025 next week to talk about it!
New results 🧵
My lab is looking for a Senior Scientist (= PostDoc with option of permanency)!
We are looking for someone interested in doing cutting-edge computational social science + helping us with data & software engineering 🤓.

Planning on printing your #EMNLP2025 poster in Suzhou? There is an easy option available through the conference website: 2025.emnlp.org/poster-print...
“You speak Bavarian? Then you must be uneducated + closed-minded.”
🤯 Not your opinion? Good. But it might be your LLM’s!!
🧵 Check out our #EMNLP2025 paper, where we uncover concerning dialect bias in recent LLMs - including GPT-5.

I have two fully funded PhD positions in my group. If you want to work on persona based dialogical models or using LLMs to fight online harms then consider applying!
Super excited to see the growing interest and awareness in diversity, variation, and pluralistic alignment in the NLP community! ✨ 🪩
Below 🧵 are some keynote talks and workshops that highlight this important direction 🤸
We’re incredibly proud to announce that our lab received two #ACL2025 awards: Best Social Impact Paper for @elisabassignana.bsky.social and @dirkhovy.bsky.social , and Outstanding Paper for @paul-rottger.bsky.social.
Congratulations to them and to all collaborators who made this possible!

*pluralism* in human values & preferences (e.g. with personalisation) will also just
grow more important for a global diversity of users.
@morlikow.bsky.social is presenting our poster today at 1100. Also hyped for @michaelryan207.bsky.social's work and @verenarieser.bsky.social's keynote!
Very excited about all these papers on sociotechnical alignment & the societal impacts of AI at #ACL2025.
As is now tradition, I made some timetables to help me find my way around. Sharing here in case others find them useful too :) 🧵
📢 ACL 2025 this is a reminder of 🎤 #InvitedTalk by Verena Rieser from Google DeepMind "Whose Gold? Re-imagining Alignment for Truly Beneficial AI." on the technical & ethical challenges of building beneficial AI! 🤝 ⚖️ #ACL2025NLP #NLProc
