When you read a poem, do you wonder how the poet structures it through whitespace between/before words and lines?
We did! Our findings on whitespace - how to measure/preserve it, how usage varies across form/time, how it affects LLMs - now in an #EMNLP2025 (main) paper: arxiv.org/abs/2510.16713

Reward models for LMs are meant to align outputs with human preferences—but do they accidentally encode dialect biases? 🤔
Excited to share our paper on biases against African American Language in reward models, accepted to #NAACL2025 Findings! 🎉

New preprint!
Metaphors shape how people understand politics, but measuring them (& their real-world effects) is hard.
We develop a new method to measure metaphor & use it to study dehumanizing metaphor in 400K immigration tweets Link: bit.ly/4i3PGm3

So far the blog post draft is winning the distraction battle. Prepare for a very long and opinionated update about all the new tools and apps I’ve been using for work.
Flight prep for someone who hates flying:
- Switch with Nine Sols loaded
- iPad with Black Doves loaded
- laptop with data, python notebook, blog post draft loaded
- silk eye mask
- REI inflatable neck pillow
- vitamin C juice
- Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse
- compression socks
- many snacks
