A blizzard is raging through Montreal when your friend says “Looks like Florida out there!” Humans easily interpret irony, while LLMs struggle with it. We propose a 𝘳𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭-𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘺-𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 probabilistic framework as a solution. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.09301 to appear @ #ACL2025 (Main)

Excited to share the results of my recent internship! We ask 🤔 What subtle shortcuts are VideoLLMs taking on spatio-temporal questions? And how can we instead curate shortcut-robust examples at a large-scale? We release: MVPBench Details 👇🔬

Language Models Largely Exhibit Human-like Constituent Ordering Preferences
Though English sentences are typically inflexible vis-à-vis word order, constituents often show far more variability in ordering. One prominent theory presents the notion that constituent ordering is ...

Super excited to finally announce our NAACL 2025 main conference paper “Language Models Largely Exhibit Human-like Constituent Ordering Preferences”! We examine constituent ordering preferences between humans and LLMs; we present two main findings… 🧵
Overview figure for paper, showing creation of constituent movement data, in addition to three step experimentation: "Model Shifting Preference", "Motivating Factors of Model Preference", "Human-Model Preference Correlation"

At McGill we have an NLP lab that works on a lot of things, from human-AI collaboration, to evaluation, to low resource NLP (me). @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social just happened in Miami, and my colleagues just presented six papers there:
