Can't make it to @eaclmeeting.bsky.social? We've got you covered.

#WiAIR is bringing you direct access to the research. We're sitting down with authors of accepted papers to break down their work on LLMs, reasoning, dialogue systems, AI safety, and more: youtu.be/n7qyUK5uVis

#EACL2026

✨ How can we test how pretraining data affects language model behavior through direct intervention? In our latest #WiAIR episode, we host Dr. Hila Gonen to discuss “Rewriting History.” (1/5 🧵)

Happy International Women's Day, and happy birthday to #WiAIR!

✨ How can we reliably detect harmful prompts across languages, images, and audio?
In our latest #WiAIR episode, we host Dr. Hila Gonen to discuss “OMNIGUARD: An Efficient Approach for AI Safety Moderation Across Languages and Modalities”. (1/5 🧵)

Remember "Lipstick on a Pig", where they showed that many embedding debiasing methods don't remove bias, just hide it.
In the upcoming #WiAIR episode, I speak with its author Hila Gonen about taking this further into LLMs: semantic leakage and other hidden failures.

✨ Can we give formal, information-theoretic guarantees against hallucinations in RAG systems?

In our latest #WiAIR episode, we host Dr. Letitia Parcalabescu to discuss "Bounding Hallucinations: Information-Theoretic Guarantees for RAG Systems via Merlin-Arthur Protocols". (1/5 🧵)

🔐 How vulnerable are hidden prompts?
In our latest #WiAIR episode, Dr. Swabha Swayamdipta (@swabhs.bsky.social) discusses her NeurIPS 2025 paper on recovering prompts using next-token probability sequences. (1/6 🧵)

How do language models align with conceptual meaning in the human brain?
In our latest #WiAIR episode, we discuss COLM 2025 paper “Language models align with brain regions that represent concepts across modalities” with Dr. Maria Ryskina (@mryskina.bsky.social). 👇 (1/5 🧵)

Elements of World Knowledge (EWoK): A Cognition-Inspired Framework for Evaluating Basic World Knowledge in Language Models Abstract. The ability to build and reason about models of the world is essential for situated language understanding. But evaluating world modeling capabilities in modern AI systems—especially those b...

🤔 Do LLMs really understand the world — or are they mostly predicting what sounds likely in text? In our latest #WiAIR podcast we explore this exact question with Maria Ryskina. (1/8🧵)

We're excited to welcome @mryskina.bsky.social, CIFAR AI Safety postdoc at Vector Institute for AI @vectorinstitute.ai, as our next guest on Women in AI Research.

In Cantonese & Taiwanese, the greeting isn’t "hello" - it’s "Have you eaten?"
Not about food, but about care. 💛

Dr. Annie Lee explains why LLMs often miss these cultural meanings - and why multilingual AI needs more than translation. More in the full episode!
