🗣️ CopeNLU will be presenting papers on Explainable AI, Factuality, RAG & more at #ACL2026NLP 📍 Here's where to find us ⤵️ @apepa.bsky.social @rnv.bsky.social @dustinbwright.com @zainmujahid.me @gretawarren.bsky.social @lovhag.bsky.social @saravera.bsky.social @iaugenstein.bsky.social #NLProc #AI

🗣️ Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting @dustinbwright.com for an insightful talk on “LLMs Lack Perspective and Epistemic Diversity.” The talk explored how diverse are the information and perspectives that people are being exposed to in this new era. #NLProc

We updated our LLM epistemic diversity study with a stronger search baseline closer to true search diversity. It beats every model, even though it is underestimated. In other words, one can expect less information from an LLM vs Google searching. See the new results here! arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04226

News about our epistemic diversity paper! 💻 The code is now a python package! Installation instructions here: github.com/dwright37/ll... 🤗 All 1.6M model responses and 70M clustered claims are now available on HuggingFace! huggingface.co/datasets/dwr... 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04226

Attending EMNLP 2025 this week? So is CopeNLU -- come find us there! ⤵️ www.copenlu.com/news/8-paper... @apepa.bsky.social @rnv.bsky.social @kirekara.bsky.social @shoejoe.bsky.social @dustinbwright.com @zainmujahid.me @lucasresck.bsky.social @iaugenstein.bsky.social #NLProc #AI #EMNLP2025

Heading to #EMNLP2025? Interested in automatic summarization? Then come to our poster for "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization" ! ⏰ When: Fri. Nov 7 14:00-15:30 🗺️ Where: Hall C I'm unable to attend but @iaugenstein.bsky.social will present our work!

Which, whose, and how much knowledge do LLMs represent? I'm excited to share our preprint answering these questions: "Epistemic Diversity and Knowledge Collapse in Large Language Models" 📄Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04226 💻Code: github.com/dwright37/ll... 1/10

🎉 Our work on attribution in summarization is now accepted to #EMNLP2025 main! 🎉 "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization" w/ @zainmujahid.me , Lu Wang, @iaugenstein.bsky.social , and @davidjurgens.bsky.social

There’s something really special about seeing a physical print copy of our work 🤩 You can read “Efficiency is Not Enough: A Critical Perspective on Environmentally Sustainable AI” now in CACM!!! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

No fewer than three people were needed to cover all the aspects of our dialogue simulation paper. Thanks for the interest — check out the preprint. Link in Dustin’s post. @dustinbwright.com @ic2s2.bsky.social #ic2s2

📄 New preprint: "Collecting Cost-Effective, High-Quality Truthfulness Assessments with LLM Summarized Evidence" We show: fact checking w/ crowd workers is more efficient when using LLM summaries, quality doesn't suffer. arxiv.org/abs/2501.18265

Latest newsletter featuring a perspective paper by @dustinbwright.com et al. on "Efficiency is Not Enough: A Critical Perspective of Environmentally Sustainable AI" @aicentre.dk

📝🌍🍃Our latest newsletter is out! Read about coming webinars, and about why it is crucial to look at the impact of machine learning (ML) using systems thinking, i.e. across the entire life cycle of models, from development to deployment. climateainordics.com/newsletter/2...

I am still in need of emergency reviewers for ARR this cycle for the computational social science track, please DM me if you have capacity 🙏

Our long context summarization dataset is now on 🤗 Huggingface! huggingface.co/datasets/dwr... Use it as a training or a test set for long context query focused summarization! It includes evidence attribution of free-form text spans from the context, making summaries more transparent and reliable!

New preprint: "Unstructured Evidence Attribution for Long Context Query Focused Summarization" We propose *unstructured* evidence attribution for long context summarization and a synthetic dataset called SUnsET which can help models perform this task. Paper link: arxiv.org/abs/2502.14409 Thread ⬇️

Collecting Cost-Effective, High-Quality Truthfulness Assessments with LLM Summarized Evidence

With the degradation of guardrails against mis- and disinformation online, it is more critical than ever to be able to effectively combat it. In this paper, we explore the efficiency and effectiveness...

Happening now @neuripsconf.bsky.social #NeurIPS2024 !!! Come to poster 4003 in East Hall to learn about Bayesian model reduction for structured pruning!

I’m at #NeurIPS2024! I’m also on the faculty job market! Come talk to me about neural network efficiency, reliable NLP, open positions, and come to my spotlight poster on Friday from 11a — 2p in East Exhibit Hall A — C, poster number 4003

Looking forward to heading to #NeurIPS2024 in a week after some vacation time in Portugal this week 🇵🇹 I’m on the job market so message me if you’d like to meet up during the conference to chat about jobs, research, or to just hang out 😊

Dustin Wright@dustinbwright.com · 2y ago

#EMNLP2024 was a blast! Next stop is #NeurIPS2024 where I'll present our ✨spotlight✨ paper on thresholdless Bayesian structured pruning! Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2406.01345

If you have ever had cause to doubt the wisdom of taking all of the computers in the world and connecting them to each other, an evening spent perusing social media is unlikely to assuage your concerns.
