I guess that now that I have 1% of my Twitter followers follow me here 😅, I should announce it here too for those of you no longer checking Twitter: my nonfiction book, "Lost in Automatic Translation" is coming out this July: lostinautomatictranslation.com. I'm very excited to share it with you!

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 🙏

🤔🤖Most AI systems assume there’s just one right answer—but many tasks have reasonable disagreement. How can we better model human variation? 🌍✨
We propose modeling at the individual-level using open-ended, textual value profiles! 🗣️📝
