I passed my viva! ๐๐ฅน
Thanks to @bjoernross.bsky.social and Mirella Lapata for pushing me to write a thesis Iโm proud of, to examiners @malvinanissim.bsky.social and Emily Allaway for making the viva such a positive experience, and to everyone who supported me, in person or from afar ๐ฅฐ
Thanks so much for having me and for the warm welcome! My first visit to Wales didn't disappoint ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ๐
At #EMNLP2025 to present the last chapter of my PhD ๐ผ
Let's talk #HateSpeech detection, generalisation and NLP safety at my poster:
๐tomorrow

Look for the circus-themed poster ๐ช๐คธ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Work with @tomsherborne.bsky.social @bjoernross.bsky.social and Mirella Lapata at #EdinburghNLP + @cohere.com
Should WOAH start a mentorship programme? ๐ค
As the workshop grows, reviewer expectations are rising.
We donโt want contributors from adjacent communities penalised by *CL norms.
Senior PhDs and beyond could be mentors.

As someone who likes to believe that detection technology can eventually protect victims proactively, I feel I need to sit with some hard feelings after this talk.
Thank you @katejsim.bsky.social for bringing such an important and interesting perspective to the table ๐
We always measure F1 scores on held out data, but what is the real cost of moderation errors?
Not yet time for the first coffee break, and #WOAH Q&A is already getting spicy ๐ถ
Congratulations to Dayei Oh for winning the best paper award with her paper on marxist-feminist ethics for content moderation ๐

"You can't create a product for survivors without having thought about them." - @cordeliamoore.bsky.social
Ever think about survivors scrolling porn sites, searching for images of themselves uploaded without consent? I hadnโt until now.
Come hear from field experts at @woahworkshop.bsky.social
Our first speaker is Cordelia Moore, who works on gender-based violence and sexual violence facilitated in digital spaces.
The 9th edition of the Workshop for Online Abuse and Harms is kicking off in Room 2.17 at #ACL2025NLP! We have a full program today, including 3 invited speakers, a panel discussion and a poster session. This year's workshop theme is Harms Beyond Hate Speech.
Today is the day! #ACL2025NLP
Tomorrow!
At #ACL2025NLP and on the job market (NLP + AI Safety) ๐ผ
It's great to see growing interest in safety/alignment, but we often miss the social context.
Come to our @woahworkshop.bsky.social Friday to dive deeper into safe safety research!
