Excited to be at #ACL2026NLP in San Diego with two papers! Come by to learn about cross-lingual semantic differences from work with @vamvas.bsky.social & @ricosennrich.bsky.social, and how LLMs respond to expressions of belief, with Kevin Du, @clarakuempel.bsky.social, and @alexwarstadt.bsky.social
