✨I’m on the academic job market!✨ I'm a CS Postdoc at Stanford in the Stanford NLP Group. I develop AI and causal inference to tackle societal issues like online civility, racial justice, sustainability, and more. Check out the thread for details! Website: kristinagligoric.com

Us at @nerdsitu are organizing a session today @ #D3A called "Networks, Data, Society, and AI" (hall D). Our workshop brings together interdisciplinary speakers talking about how/if computational techniques can be used to understand some of the biggest issues society faces today

We wrote an article on the perils and challenges of using LLMs to simulate humans or social interactions: sociologica.unibo.it/article/view/1… It's a part of a special issue of Sociologica (check it out!). Our main point is that, while tempting, using LLMs

At #EMNLP2024 we will present our paper on LLM values and opinions! We introduce tropes: repeated and consistent phrases which LLMs generate to argue for political stances. Read the paper to learn more! arxiv.org/abs/2406.19238 Work done CopeNLU & Pioneer Centre for AI

Lots of folks listen to podcasts—an estimated half of Americans do monthly!—but there's been limited data to study what happens on them. What do they talk about? Who are the guests? Who is influencing whom?? This new dataset is our attempt to bring light to an important medium

🐙garak - LLM Vulnerability Scanner Great project from NVIDIA to perform AI red-teaming and vulnerability assessment on LLM applications.

Please consider submitting to this initiative. We plan to fund at least a 4-5 students from the Global South to travel to Copenhagen and attend ICWSM If you know anyone who might be interested please forward.

Excited to share the tool Luca Maria Aiello (lajello.bsky.social) & I built to predict social media participation in collective action! It moves beyond keywords, tracking activism stages across topics. See it in action with climate activism on Reddit 🌱 Check it out: arxiv.org/abs/2501.07368

New tool to estimate the level of participation in collective action expressed in natural language. Applied to social media, it can produce large-scale and granular estimates of behavior change wrt collective action. Check it out: github.com/ariannap13/ext… Carlsbergfondet @ITUkbh
