🥳 Big congrats to our PhD student Nils for his first two papers, presented in Seoul last week at #ICML2026, including a Best Paper Award at ProbML🥇 #NLProc @itu.dk @aicentre.dk
ncg@n.grnfld.me · 3mo agoBack from Seoul. My first paper, "An Isotropic Approach to Efficient UQ with Gradient Norms", got a poster and an oral at ProbML, and came away with the Best Paper Award. Still a bit stunned. arxiv.org/abs/2603.29466
AI can now answer questions about video content, transforming how people consume information on the Web. An experiment with 900+ participants found that AI improves speed and accuracy of retrieval BUT, users become overreliant on AI answers, accepting wrong answers without any loss of confidence.
LLMs are reshaping how we process information, now even processing videos for us. In a study with 900+ participants, we found AI boosts efficiency and accuracy, but also drives overreliance. So the real question: how much of our access to information are we willing to outsource to LLMs?

IT-Universitetet i København@itu.dk · 10mo agoSprogmodeller skal blive bedre til sprog 🗣️ Tillykke til ITU-lektor Rob van der Goot, der med støtte fra @carlsbergfondet.dk vil undersøge, hvordan man kan integrere sproglig viden direkte i sprogmodellers design. Det udfordrer den dominerende tilgang, der primært bygger på data og beregningskraft.
MultiLexNorm++ has been accepted to TALIPP. It extends existing benchmark for lexical normalization to 5 asian languages with 4 different scripts, and proposes a hybrid LLM approach to obtain SOTA performance. 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2601.16623 #NLProc

Have you recently used a crowdsourcing platform to collect data or annotations? We are running a study about the use of LLMs in crowdsourcing platforms. If you want to help, fill in this 10 min survey 👉https://tinyurl.com/39ab55wf #NLProc
Amelie Wuehrl@nlp-amelie.bsky.social · last yr.Crowdsourcing datasets is very common, but how much of those results come from LLMs these days? How can we prevent it? Much of it is unclear. This is why we’re conducing a survey (~10 min) to gather community experiences, challenges, and solutions. Share your thoughts 👉https://tinyurl.com/39ab55wf
