How can we give people more agency when interacting with artificial intelligence systems? That is one of the questions that Sarah Wiegreffe's research aims to answer. Ask Sarah your questions about natural language processing, empirical ML and explainable #AI in today's #RedditAMA: redd.it/1vm665h

📢 We’re looking for reviewers for the Actionable Interpretability workshop @actinterp.bsky.social! If you’re interested in helping review submitted papers, please sign up here: forms.gle/VpLJpkM6zw3V... Your expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Our ICML 2025 workshop on Actionable Interpretability drew massive interest. But the same questions kept coming up: What does "actionable" mean? Is it achievable? How? We're ready to answer. 🧵

If you're at #ICML2025, chat with me, @sarah-nlp.bsky.social, Atticus, and others at our poster 11am - 1:30pm at East #1205! We're establishing a 𝗠echanistic 𝗜nterpretability 𝗕enchmark. We're planning to keep this a living benchmark; come by and share your ideas/hot takes!

I am at #ICML2025! 🇨🇦🏞️ Catch me: 1️⃣ Presenting this paper👇 tomorrow 11am-1:30pm at East #1205 2️⃣ At the Actionable Interpretability @actinterp.bsky.social workshop on Saturday in East Ballroom A (I’m an organizer!)

Lots of progress in mech interp (MI) lately! But how can we measure when new mech interp methods yield real improvements over prior work? We propose 😎 𝗠𝗜𝗕: a 𝗠echanistic 𝗜nterpretability 𝗕enchmark!

This week is #ICML in Vancouver, and a number of our researchers are participating. Here's the full list of Ai2's conference engagements—we look forward to connecting with fellow attendees. 👋

A bit late to announce, but I’m excited to share that I'll be starting as an assistant professor at UMD CS @univofmaryland.bsky.social this August. I'll be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle for fall 2026. (And if you're a UMD grad student, sign up for my fall seminar!)

🚨 We're looking for more reviewers for the workshop! 📆 Review period: May 24-June 7 If you're passionate about making interpretability useful and want to help shape the conversation, we'd love your input. 💡🔍 Self-nominate here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Checkout our new preprint/project which has been over a year in the making! This has been a very fun collaboration (and one of the biggest I've personally participated in). @amuuueller.bsky.social @boknilev.bsky.social and other co-authors are around #ICLR2025 if you want to find out more. 😊

I'm not at #ICLR2025, but have 2 works being presented: 1) Understanding how LMs answer multiple-choice questions - arxiv.org/abs/2407.15018 - @boknilev.bsky.social is presenting the poster *now* until 12:30 (Hall 3+Hall 2B #207) - & w/ @oyvind-t.bsky.social @hanna-nlp.bsky.social Ashish Sabharwal

I'm in Singapore for ICLR to present this paper: Tomorrow, April 26th, 10-12:30 in Hall 3+2B #236 Come check it out! arxiv.org/abs/2504.12459

💡 New ICLR paper! 💡 "On Linear Representations and Pretraining Data Frequency in Language Models": We provide an explanation for when & why linear representations form in large (or small) language models. Led by @jackmerullo.bsky.social, w/ @nlpnoah.bsky.social & @sarah-nlp.bsky.social
