Do multilingual large language models (LLMs) associate particular traits with men and women? How can we measure these gendered stereotypes across multiple languages?
In our latest work, we investigate 16 gendered stereotypes in LLMs in 30 European languages 🧵

Do LLMs encode gendered stereotypes? Do they encode the same stereotypes across languages? How can we better measure gender bias in multilingual LLMs?
I'll be presenting a poster on my work on these questions at this research showcase tomorrow hosted by @uoe-gender-ed.bsky.social 👇 See you there!

Thoughtful examination here of the risks of touting "low-resource NLP" as a good in its own right, without engaging with and empowering language communities

Broadly interested in NLP for low-resource languages, specifically for content moderation/LLM bias reduction/creole languages. Get in touch if any of that interests you!

Why is natural language processing technology so much better in English than most other languages? What methods can improve NLP for lower-resource languages?
It was great to share my work on this topic at the the @bcs_lovelace consortium and poster competition today! https://t.co/w6VmSG5WL6
