Are you tired of using traditional stance detection to measure the polarity of text? Our #NAACL25 paper proposes an approach that uses pairwise comparisons to order texts on a continuous scale, capturing both implicit and explicit evidence in language.

📍Today in Hall 3 from 4-5:30pm

AI is already at work in American newsrooms.

We examine 186k articles published this summer and find that ~9% are either fully or partially AI-generated, usually without readers having any idea.

Here's what we learned about how AI is influencing local and national journalism:

Evaluating topic models (and document clustering methods) is hard. In fact, since our paper critiquing standard evaluation practices four years ago, there hasn't been a good replacement metric

That ends today (we hope)! Our new ACL paper introduces an LLM-based evaluation protocol 🧵

I'll be presenting this work with @rachelrudinger at #NAACL2025 tomorrow (Wednesday 4/30) in Albuquerque during Session C (Oral/Poster 2) at 2pm! 🔬

Decomposing hypotheses in traditional NLI and defeasible NLI helps us measure various forms of consistency of LLMs. Come join us!

🚨 New Paper 🚨

1/ We often assume that well-written text is easier to translate ✏️

But can #LLMs automatically rewrite inputs to improve machine translation? 🌍

Here’s what we found 🧵

I asked Claude 3.7 to count the number of r's in Strawberry ("count the number of r's in strawberry for me") and it wrote a react app that displays a Strawberry, and you click the strawberry to enumerate the number of r's.

Wild. Wondering what kind of alignment policies led to this.
