In this work, we develop an LLM-based framework for iteratively inducing interpretable topic taxonomies from unlabeled text and study its application to electoral advertising. Paper Link: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.15125 Dataset and Code: github.com/alexander-br...

Happy to share that our long paper 'Iterative Topic Taxonomy Induction with LLMs: A Case Study of Electoral Advertising' has been accepted to @aaclmeeting.bsky.social 🎉I had the pleasure of mentoring Alex during his visit to @purduecs.bsky.social from @ethz.ch which grew into research collaboration.

Pre-print 2: arxiv.org/pdf/2604.07562 We propose a post-hoc framework that uses LLMs as semantic judges to refine unsupervised text clusters via coherence verification, redundancy resolution, and label grounding—improving both coherence and human alignment without supervision.

Pre-print 1: arxiv.org/pdf/2601.17172 Who gets the “stronger” message? In this paper, we show that LLMs don’t just personalize—they shift tone, style, and persuasion based on demographics, often amplifying stereotypes in targeted communication.

In summary, our method provides an explainable way to reverse-engineer targeting practices and uncover potential bias or messaging disparities. Looking forward to connecting with the community around Ethics, Bias & Fairness in NLP #Ethics #Bias #Fairness #FairAI #AIethics #EMNLP

💡 Findings: • Climate ads use distinct themes: activism for young adults, caregiving & advocacy for women, economic/innovation frames for men • While LLMs perform well, biases persist, especially for males • Insights: need for more inclusive, transparent, & accountable climate communication

Tunaz @tunazislam.bsky.social · 22/08/2025
We leveraged LLMs to audit climate ad microtargeting on social media, proposing a third-party, post-hoc framework to: 1️⃣ Identify which demographics (age, gender) ads are targeting 2️⃣ Generate transparent explanations that reveal messaging strategies 3️⃣ Evaluate fairness using established metrics

This work builds on one of the future directions I proposed during my Ph.D. defense, making the acceptance especially meaningful. 🌟
