🎉 Happy to share that our work “Authorship Attribution in Multilingual Machine-Generated Texts” has been accepted to #ACL2026 (Main)! 🧐 Can you tell if a text was written by a human or a specific LLM? Now imagine doing it across 18 languages! 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2508.01656

Authorship Attribution in Multilingual Machine-Generated Texts
As Large Language Models (LLMs) have reached human-like fluency and coherence, distinguishing machine-generated text (MGT) from human-written content becomes increasingly difficult. While early effort...

🧠 🕵️ LLMs are mastering the "imitation game"... but can we still tell who wrote what? 📝 At #EMNLP2025, we present OpenTuringBench — 500K+ texts, 7 open LLMs, 7 challenging tasks, and a new method for machine-generated text detection and attribution! 📍 Today at 2 PM in Hall C

🤖 Do LLMs reflect our moral expressions—or alter them? In our #ACL2025 paper, we study 12 widely used LLMs and found that moral expressions are altered to varying degrees depending on the editing task and moral conditioning prompt. 📍 ACL2025 — Hall X5 (28) 🕚 Today, 11:00–12:30

This week we had the pleasure to host our colleagues and friends from Università della Calabria. @luciolcw.bsky.social delivered a well-attended intensive course on Large Language Models, and Andrea Tagarelli presented the research done by his team. We look forward to new collaborations.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of e-meeting the OpenAI team for an insightful discussion about Open LLMs. While I can’t share details just yet, there’s a lot to be excited about! 🚀 It was particularly inspiring to see Sam Altman join the session and share OpenAI’s vision for open models 🤯
