I passed my viva! 🎓🥹 Thanks to @bjoernross.bsky.social and Mirella Lapata for pushing me to write a thesis I’m proud of, to examiners @malvinanissim.bsky.social and Emily Allaway for making the viva such a positive experience, and to everyone who supported me, in person or from afar 🥰

Thanks so much for having me and for the warm welcome! My first visit to Wales didn't disappoint 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😊

Cardiff NLP@cardiffnlp.bsky.social · 9mo ago

This week at our Cardiff #NLP seminar, we had the pleasure of hosting @agostinacal.bsky.social, who presented her work on "Reframing Content Moderation: Guideline-Driven and Explainable Hate Speech Detection." Thank you for the great talk, and thank you for visiting us!

At #EMNLP2025 to present the last chapter of my PhD 🐼 Let's talk #HateSpeech detection, generalisation and NLP safety at my poster: 📆tomorrow 🕟4.30pm Look for the circus-themed poster 🎪🤸🏻‍♀️ Work with @tomsherborne.bsky.social @bjoernross.bsky.social and Mirella Lapata at #EdinburghNLP + @cohere.com

Should WOAH start a mentorship programme? 🤔 As the workshop grows, reviewer expectations are rising. We don’t want contributors from adjacent communities penalised by *CL norms. Senior PhDs and beyond could be mentors. Share your thoughts: 👉 forms.gle/safif3rU2rs5...

Friendly reminder that tomorrow is the last day to apply! ⏰️🤓

And that’s a wrap on the day! Our workshop keeps growing, and so do our social events. Huge thanks to all the authors, speakers, attendees, and of course, our amazing organisers 👏 The drinks were a blast! #ACL2025NLP

We're just getting started with lightning talks from the remote attendees ⚡️⚡️ #ACL2025NLP

As someone who likes to believe that detection technology can eventually protect victims proactively, I feel I need to sit with some hard feelings after this talk. Thank you @katejsim.bsky.social for bringing such an important and interesting perspective to the table 🙏

Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms@woahworkshop.bsky.social · last yr.

CSAM is something that happens among the young people and among the known people, it's not about a third external predator figure 🤯 Very eye-opening keynote by @katejsim.bsky.social #ACL2025NLP

We always measure F1 scores on held out data, but what is the real cost of moderation errors?

Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms@woahworkshop.bsky.social · last yr.

Time for our second keynote 🚨 @fvancesco.bsky.social is going to guide us through practical aspects of safety that are often overlooked in academia. Do we want to close the gap between academia and industry? Join us to find out! #ACL2025NLP

Not yet time for the first coffee break, and #WOAH Q&A is already getting spicy 🌶 Congratulations to Dayei Oh for winning the best paper award with her paper on marxist-feminist ethics for content moderation 👏 #ACL2025NLP

Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms@woahworkshop.bsky.social · last yr.

Our best paper award goes to Dayei Oh for "From civility to parity: Marxist-feminist ethics for context-aware algorithmic content moderation". Congratulations!

"You can't create a product for survivors without having thought about them." - @cordeliamoore.bsky.social Ever think about survivors scrolling porn sites, searching for images of themselves uploaded without consent? I hadn’t until now. Come hear from field experts at @woahworkshop.bsky.social

Our first speaker is Cordelia Moore, who works on gender-based violence and sexual violence facilitated in digital spaces.

The 9th edition of the Workshop for Online Abuse and Harms is kicking off in Room 2.17 at #ACL2025NLP! We have a full program today, including 3 invited speakers, a panel discussion and a poster session. This year's workshop theme is Harms Beyond Hate Speech.
