While I'm unfortunately not at #ACL2025, please check out @shaily99.bsky.social's super cool poster on research cultures and language model evaluations!
#IC2S2 was so much fun, now see you at Vienna at #aclnlp2025. Fine me around the conference or in the poster session on Wednesday at 11 talking about this work, cultural competence in LLMs, and evaluation.
Congrats (and well done!) to LTI PhD student Shaily Bhatt on her plenary lightning talk at #IC2S2
