At long last! I'm in Miami for #EMNLP2024! Come catch up with me or talk to me about: • personalization, interactive models • postdocs at Microsoft • the academic job market! • my paper about using calibrated retrievers for personalizing generation: aclanthology.org/2024.customnlp…

Interested in writing with AI? ✍️ Please apply to be a **postdoc** in my group through the UChicago DSI Scholars program! 🤠 Research in my group: minalee-research.github.io/research.html Application: datascience.uchicago.edu/research/postd… (review begins on Dec 6)

📢✨ I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students at Virginia Tech this cycle. If you are interested in efficient model development (including model merging, parameter-efficient fine-tuning & transfer learning), instruction tuning, advanced reasoning, LLMs-as-judges, etc., please apply!!

📢 An excellent opportunity for PhD students in IR and NLP: The Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) at the UMass Amherst is initiating an exciting Research Internship program for Summer 2025. See the thread for more info. 👇 #SIGIR #NLProc

People often claim they know when ChatGPT wrote something, but are they as accurate as they think? Turns out that while general population is unreliable, those who frequently use ChatGPT for writing tasks can spot even "humanized" AI-generated text with near-perfect accuracy 🎯

Are you a *senior* professor who has graduated more than 2 Ph.D. students? We’re studying how labs manage organizational memory—students' roles, mentoring, documentation, etc.—and would love you to participate in a one-hour interview ($50). Plz, sign up forms.gle/K35nEK5A2cndCP…

Great to see multiple efforts digging into real chat data! This new paper looks at how people actually collaborate with AI when writing (e.g., revising, co-creating). A nice complement to our WildFeedback work on learning from natural user feedback. arxiv.org/abs/2505.16023

Landed in Vienna for #ACL2025! We are hiring FTEs/Postdocs/Interns at Office of Applied Research to push the frontier of continuous model improvement for productivity, through RL*, inference time scaling, self reflection, memory etc. Available to chat this week w/ Mengting Wan.

We (Microsoft's Office of Applied Research) have a few openings for exceptional Research Engineers / MLEs to train, test, and scale the next-gen enterprise agentic systems to millions of copilot users. Apply today if you are up for the task! jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/job/…

Thrilled that this work was accepted to #EMNLP2025! It presents the first large scale analysis of users collaborating with LLMs in-the-wild! Also thrilled that this kind of NLP+HCI work received generous support (and feedback) from reviewers and landed in the top 15% of papers!
