📣 Life update: Thrilled to announce that I’ll be starting as faculty at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems this Fall!

I’ll be recruiting PhD students in the upcoming cycle, as well as research interns throughout the year: lasharavichander.github.io/contact.html

Even better when it’s logistic regression 🙃

Ohhhh Molly Crockett‘s @mjcrockett.bsky.social keynote talk at #FAccT2025 was soo good 🔥🔥🔥

She talked about how techno-optimism is really human pessimism, how DEAD benchmarks don’t capture full human capacities and feed the hype cycle, how we need to avoid monoculture & imagine new worlds together

Now out in Nature: we analyzed 19,000 computer vision papers and the 20,000+ patents citing them and found that most CV papers are used in surveillance enabling CV patents. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

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 🙏

When DEOHS faculty Dr. Gary Franklin asked a chatbot for info on outcomes of a specific medical procedure, the bot gave an answer that cited two medical studies, neither of which existed. Franklin and @uwischool.bsky.social faculty @lucylw.bsky.social discuss AI in medicine w. @uwnews.bsky.social ⬇️
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

this is great! thank you both!

I appreciated the callout that half the community is based in China and travel to places like the US can be quite difficult. Now, the other half gets to experience the annoyance of visas :’)
📢 📅 After a long process of soliciting & vetting bids, I'm excited that we've finally been able to reveal the location for #EMNLP2025 -- it'll be at the International Expo Centre, Suzhou, China from 5-9 November 2025. Looking forward to seeing you there!

where’s belphagor?

(5/n) I’ll be around during most of the conference to chat about evaluation, abstention, user-facing systems, applications in healthcare and accessibility, the UW iSchool, and more

(4/n) Both papers will be presented in the Wednesday 10:30a poster session!

(3/n) Bingbing Wen will present “Characterizing LLM Abstention Behavior in Science QA with Context Perturbations” arxiv.org/abs/2404.12452
We assess model ability to abstain w/ insufficient or incorrect context. Counter-intuitively, adding irrelevant context can sometimes increase task performance!

(2/n) Yue Guo, now faculty at UIUC, will present “APPLS: Evaluating Evaluation Metrics for Plain Language Summarization” arxiv.org/abs/2305.14341

We introduce a granular meta-evaluation testbed for medical PLS, and evaluate 14 metrics including automated scores, lexical features, and LLM prompting

(1/n) I’m also excited to be heading to #emnlp2024 next week! Looking forward to catch up with old friends and new acquaintances. Several students and collaborators will be presenting work 🧵
