How can we compare concept-based #XAI methods in #NLProc?
ConSim (arxiv.org/abs/2501.05855) provides the answer.
Read the thread to find out which method is the most interpretable! 🧵1/7

An assembly of 18 European companies, labs, and universities have banded together to launch 🇪🇺 EuroBERT!
It's a state-of-the-art multilingual encoder for 15 European languages, designed to be finetuned for retrieval, classification, etc.

An incredible collaboration is on the way… and it will soon give birth to an exciting new toolbox! But no spoilers for now. Stay tuned! 🧐
Finally in Toulouse 🇫🇷 where I'll collaborate with @fannyjrd.bsky.social @antoninpoche.bsky.social and the DEEL/FOR teams at IRT & ANITI on an exciting interpretability project. Stay tuned! 🔍
