This was a super fun NLP+HCI project that started as a summer workshop with undergrad researchers (co-first authors Alina Hyk and Kiera McCormick)! It mostly involved chatting with astronomers, including wonderful co-authors @jwuphysics.bsky.social, ‪@errai34.bsky.social‬, and others!

They are on the 2025 website, and they are the same as last year: www.icwsm.org/2025/submit/...

Someone told me they used embedding debiasing methods in information retrieval settings, where the embeddings are being used directly with the same sorts of operations (e.g. cosine similarity) that debiasing methods target. But that one anecdote is all I've got

😂 I had to check this, I think @mdredze.bsky.social beat me by a few months

I'm here and will start trying to be more active!
