Great keynote by Matthias Gallé on multilinguality in LLMs with takeaways on how we have to go broader *and* deeper to achieve multilingual efficacy by covering local knowledge.

Struck by the industrialization of LLM research with LLM tech reports now having massive # authors. #wikinlp #acl2025nlp

Excellent panel on dataset papers using Wikipedia data and the importance and challenges of multilingual research.

Check out the dataset paper’s here: meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/NLP_for...

Incredible keynote by Monica Lam on creating LLM-powered research assistants.

One great example of NLP/wikipedia synergy is this tool that helps find inconsistencies in Wikipedia articles and fix them semi-automatically: wikifix.genie.stanford.edu

Last day of #ACL2025NLP but there's still lots to do: attend the #WikiNLP workshop, where we explore how NLP and wikipedia can help each other!

We have amazing keynotes, discussions with Wikipedia editors, a panel + posters!

Join us in room 2.31!

The current literature is divided about LLM representativeness: 29% say yes, 31% say no. We find the usual issues that plague CSS/NLP literature: outsized focus on the U.S, marginalized groups excluded from the analysis.

We find these issues are worse in papers that say LLMs are representative.

We annotate different aspects of 211 papers including:
- usage context (e.g content analysis, advice)
- steering method (prompting, RLHF)
- demographics studied
- whether the paper reported LLM results across demographic groups & subgroups
- the paper's conclusion on LLM representativeness

Do LLMs represent the people they're supposed simulate or provide personalized assistance to?

We review the current literature in our #ACL2025 Findings paper and investigating what researchers conclude about the demographic representativeness of LLMs:
