Our new paper in #PNAS (bit.ly/4fcWfma) presents a surprising finding—when words change meaning, older speakers rapidly adopt the new usage; inter-generational differences are often minor. w/ Michelle Yang, ‪@sivareddyg.bsky.social‬ , @msonderegger.bsky.social‬ and @dallascard.bsky.social‬👇(1/12)

Age doesn't matter to pick up new word usages. The pronunciation may sound odd across generations but not the semantics 👴👵👨👩

Incredibly proud of my students @adadtur.bsky.social and Gaurav Kamath for winning a SAC award at #NAACL2025 for their work on assessing how LLMs model constituent shifts.

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 ...

Great work from labmates on LLMs vs humans regarding linguistic preferences: You know when a sentence kind of feels off e.g. "I met at the park the man". So in what ways do LLMs follow these human intuitions?

Never been part of a project like this before - it was a very rewarding+unique experience! Everyone in the lab contributed different chapters and it was much more exploratory than your average phd project. My chapter studied R1's reasoning on "image generation/editing" (via ASCII) 🧵👇 1/N

Introducing the DeepSeek-R1 Thoughtology -- the most comprehensive study of R1 reasoning chains/thoughts ✨. Probably everything you need to know about R1 thoughts. If we missed something, please let us know.

Conference on Language Modeling @colmweb.org · 20/03/2025
A bit of a mess around the conflict of COLM with the ARR (and to lesser degree ICML) reviews release. We feel this is creating a lot of pressure and uncertainty. So, we are pushing our deadlines: Abstracts due March 22 AoE (+48hr) Full papers due March 28 AoE (+24hr) Plz RT 🙏

As someone who has tried to make even basic image editing work in my research (e.g. "move cup to left of table"): Gemini's new editing capabilities are seriously impressive! Playing around with it is quite fun... Edit 1: "edit the image to contain 3 more people"

Why do LLMs have a hard time aligning, while humans are better at it? 🌟The answer lies in the lack of a societal alignment framework for LLMs 🌍. Incredible effort by @karstanczak.bsky.social in pulling views from multiple disciplines and experts in these fields. arxiv.org/abs/2503.00069

Finally it's handy that all my twitter posts got migrated here to bsky: I'll be presenting AURORA at @neuripsconf.bsky.social on Wednesday! Come by to discuss text-guided editing (and why imo it is more interesting than image generation), world modeling, evals and vision-and-language reasoning

Stages of #ICLR reviewing: Stage 1: 😍 I hope I learn something new Stage 2: 🤗 I hope I am constructive enough while being critical. Submits review Stage 3: 🤯 Receives 5 page response + revision with many new pages Stage 4: 😱 Crap, how do I get out of this? Stage 5: 😵‍💫 What year is it?

How to Build Good Language Modeling Benchmarks
Building benchmarks is important because they shine a spotlight on the weaknesses of existing language models and so can guide the community on how to improve them.

I find it unintuitive that user handles have to be appended with bsky.social? Can we get rid of it?
