📢 New paper where we evaluate the process of how researchers edit AI-generated scientific text by analyzing the entire editing trajectories instead of just the final edit. we study: what kind of edits they make and when, how does it change the quality of text, and a lot more 👇

New preprint and dataset, work led by talented PhD student Jonathan Ivey! There's lots of interest in using LLMs to conduct qualitative interviews, but we don't know if they work because we don't know what makes "good" interview. We analyze 16,940 responses across 343 interviews and find:

For the last decade, the pervasive spread of bullshit & manipulation of online platforms have been widely recognized societal concerns. Now non US citizens studying those subjects can be labeled “censors” & denied visas or deported from the US. Censorship, indeed. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

New paper in Science: In a platform-independent field experiment, we show that reranking content expressing antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity in social media feeds alters affective polarization. 🧵

Today, social media platforms hold the sole power to study the effects of feed-ranking algorithms. We developed a platform-independent method that reranks participants’ feeds in real time and used this method to conduct a preregistered 10-day field experiment with 1256 participants on X during the 2024 US presidential campaign. Our experiment used a large language model to rerank posts that expressed antidemocratic attitudes and partisan animosity (AAPA). Decreasing or increasing AAPA exposure shifted out-party partisan animosity by more than 2 points on a 100-point feeling thermometer, with no detectable differences across party lines, providing causal evidence that exposure to AAPA content alters affective polarization. This work establishes a method to study feed algorithms without requiring platform cooperation, enabling independent evaluation of ranking interventions in naturalistic settings.

There is time to urge a change to the current #GRFP solicitation ( #NSF 25-547 ): reverse the eligibility restrictions and ensure applicants (including 2nd year PhD students) have a fair chance in the competition. Feel free to sign and share this open petition: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

Our COLM preprint is up! arxiv.org/abs/2507.15715 tldr: we deployed a RAG slack bot and invited astronomers to use it. Through analyzing their usage and conducting follow-up interviews, we recommend better ways to build benchmarks for evaluating AI for astronomy (or science more generally)

Figure showing overview of paper. On the left, user's slack messages and responses from the RAG bot. On the right, the messages are analyzed through inductive coding and user interviews

This framing is all wrong Our international students are not a “crucial funding source” They are our STUDENTS They are the reason we EXIST We teach STUDENTS

By Michael S. Schmidt and Michael C. Bender

Updated 2:17 p.m. ET
The Trump administration on Thursday halted Harvard University's ability to enroll international students, taking aim at a crucial funding source for the nation's oldest and wealthiest college in a major escalation in the administration's efforts to pressure the elite school to fall in line with the president's agenda.
