Check out our papers at #ICML2025 in Vancouver! Summaries, links, and poster sessions on our blog: ccgblog.seas.upenn.edu/2025/07/ccg-pa…. Congrats to @XingyuFu2, @DanRothNLP, and their co-authors!
I will be in #ICML2025 next week and present #ReFocus on Tuesday afternoon. 📍 West Exhibition Hall B2-B3 #W-202 ⏱️ Tue 15 Jul 4:30 p.m. PDT - 7 p.m. PDT Happy to chat and connect! Feel free to DM 😁 ReFocus link: huggingface.co/datasets/ReFoc…
Pleased to share our #NAACL2025 papers in Albuquerque! We’ve updated our blog post with the various session times – come check them out! ccgblog.seas.upenn.edu/2025/03/ccg-pa… @soshsihao, @cmalaviya11, @liusiyi64198, @Wado_Will, @keviv9, @DanRothNLP
Excited to share our papers at #ICLR2025 in Singapore! Check out the summaries on our blog (ccgblog.seas.upenn.edu/2025/04/ccg-pa…), and then check out the papers at oral session 1B (BIRD) and poster session 2 (for all three)! @AnnieFeng6, @XingyuFu2, @BenZhou96, @muhao_chen, @DanRothNLP
#ICLR2025 Oral LLMs often struggle with reliable and consistent decisions under uncertainty 😵💫 — largely because they can't reliably estimate the probability of each choice. We propose BIRD 🐦, a framework that significantly enhances LLM decision making under uncertainty. BIRD…
We’re excited to share our #NAACL2025 conference and findings papers on our blog: ccgblog.seas.upenn.edu/2025/03/ccg-pa…! Congratulations to @soshsihao @cmalaviya11 @liusiyi64198 @Wado_Will @keviv9 @DanRothNLP and their co-authors! (image Mukhopadhyay et al., 2025)
New interview with @muhao_chen, former CCG postdoc, who talks with us about cats and hamsters, LLM safety, and far-flung national parks! ccgblog.seas.upenn.edu/2025/01/interv…
Grateful for Professor Bill Labov and for all his detailed and far-reaching work in the field of sociolinguistics.
"William Labov, known far and wide as one of the most influential linguists of the 20th and 21st centuries, passed away this morning at the age of 97, with his wife, Gillian Sankoff, by his side." languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=67399
Excited to share ✨ Contextualized Evaluations ✨! Benchmarks like Chatbot Arena contain underspecified queries, which can lead to arbitrary eval judgments. What happens if we provide evaluators with context (e.g who's the user, what's their intent) when judging LM outputs? 🧵↓
Before launching into our new semester, we asked our six summer interns to tell us about their experiences working with us this summer. Take a look! Special thanks to @keviv9 and @soshsihao for their excellent mentoring! ccgblog.seas.upenn.edu/2024/08/summer…

Can GPT-4V and Gemini-Pro perceive the world the way humans do? 🤔 Can they solve the vision tasks that humans can in the blink of an eye? 😉 tldr; NO, they are far worse than us 💁🏻♀️ Introducing BLINK👁 zeyofu.github.io/blink/, a novel benchmark that studies visual perception…
BLINK Multimodal Large Language Models Can See but Not Perceive We introduce Blink, a new benchmark for multimodal language models (LLMs) that focuses on core visual perception abilities not found in other evaluations. Most of the Blink tasks can be solved by humans
