Two students of our lab are presenting an artwork at NeurIPS, how amazing is that? Really impressed with the project openreview.net/pdf?id=BZjSU..., and the video they made for it!

This paper on identifying prompted artist names from generated images is such a fun and creative take on data attribution arxiv.org/abs/2507.18633

Wonder if it would do something meaningful for analysing artistic influence for human-made art 🤔
Identifying Prompted Artist Names from Generated Images
A common and controversial use of text-to-image models is to generate pictures by explicitly naming artists, such as "in the style of Greg Rutkowski". We introduce a benchmark for prompted-artist reco...

This paper is 💯

Generally, I have the impression NLP does better at this than CV - but clearly both fields should push studying culture beyond just looking at national identities
I'm thrilled to be doing an oral presentation on "Culture is not Trivia" at #ACL2025 next Wednesday 7/30, as well as participating in the human-centered NLP panel afterwards!

(thanks also @lauraknelson.bsky.social for the shoutout in her #ic2s2 keynote today!)

We zien steeds meer door AI gegenereerd beeld om ons heen, maar hoe bevooroordeeld zijn de achterliggende AI-systemen? @nanne.bsky.social, @melvinwevers.bsky.social en Eftychia Stamkou gaan dat samen met partners uit de culturele sector onderzoeken: www.uva.nl/shared-conte...
Hoe beïnvloedt AI de beelden die het genereert?
Nu iedereen met behulp van AI afbeeldingen kan creëren, zien we steeds meer door AI gegenereerd beeld om ons heen. Tegelijkertijd is er maar weinig bekend over hoe de achterliggende AI-systemen werken...

I’m excited to share my new paper with @nanne.bsky.social analyzing the style of comics in our TINTIN Corpus (1030 comics from 144 countries). We characterized the sequentiality of panels using their similarity, computed using similar tasks as in language modeling bmvc2024.org/proceedings/...

Having theory lead computational approaches is such an important point by @laurenfklein.bsky.social ! Visual culture and media studies *drives* our theory of distant viewing. Agree that this is where the humanities can really contribute to computational thinking. #chr2024

Leaving Glasgow earlier due to rescheduled flight (storm Conall) - #BMVC2024 was fun, although felt like it was a bit focused on certain topics.

Glasgow is lovely, and Kelvingrove museum is definitely worth a visit (not just because its free 😅)

A must-read post on bias and why training data isn't the sole culprit
most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true
