LMs need linguistics! New paper, with @futrell.bsky.social, on LMs and linguistics that conveys our excitement about what the present moment means for linguistics and what linguistics can do for LMs. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2501.17047. 🧵below.

📣 Calling #NeurIPS2024 participants!

While everyone enjoys the last day of the beautiful Vancouver 🏔️🇨🇦, consider join our initiative and contribute to building models with more inclusivity and diversity, and mitigating implicit and explicit bias.

‼️Cuz we are in the post-training era now‼️

⭐️ We're going to launch Grassroots Science, a year-long ambitious, massive-scale, fully open-source initiative aimed at developing multilingual LLMs aligned to diverse and inclusive human preferences in Feb 2025.
