Had the great pleasure this week visiting @mbzuai for the trustworthy foundation models symposium where I spoke alongside the brilliant and humble Tomas Mikolov 😍 Tomas is a true pioneer who invented word2vec, RNNLLM toolkit and other works without which Transformers might not have emerged this fast

I had the great pleasure to contribute to the Singapore Consensus on Global AI Safety Research report with the presence of *Josephine Teo*, the Minister for Digital Development and Information of Singapore 🤩🤩

SUPER thrilled that our #NAACL2025 paper got the runnerup BEST paper award 😍😍🏆🏆🏆🚀🚀
We show that people rely 30% more on LLMs when they use emphatic expressions (eg "Sure, happy to help") even though the answer is wrong and 10% more when the task involves math questions 😵

I'm also desperately looking for emergency reviewers for safety, bias, and alignment papers. Please let me know if you could write a review! 😭
I still can't comprehend how an AC (a professor) accepts the role but then never responds back to emails and never completes their tasks😖! We need urgent 5 emergency reviewers to complete reviews for ACL by the end of today. Area: Ethics, Bias, and Fairness. Please reach out if you can help! Thanks🙏

I had so much fun in this podcast 💗 I talked about:
🧪 My research journey
💡 The limits and constraints of large language models
🤯 The AI complexity/generative paradox
🧠 Challenges in model reasoning

Excited to have two papers at #NAACL2025!
The first reveals how human over-reliance can be exacerbated by LLM friendliness. The second presents a novel computational method for concept tracing. Check them out!

The Language Gamification workshop @neuripsconf.bsky.social was amazing 🤩🤩🤩

If you have an interest in game theory and LMs, I suggest you check out the spotlights and posters.

Glad to see repeated mention of LMs & negotiation. Keen to see how this space evolves.
