😵‍💫 Long-context human-AI planning with LLMs struggles when users have to manually manage all the context in messy chats (e.g. with ChatGPT). Meet 💡JumpStarter: task-structured context curation for better, collaborative planning with LLMs on complex tasks. 🧵 (1/n)

🤖💬 Herding instincts… in AIs? Yes, even LLMs can follow the crowd! • 📉 Conformity ↑ when agents lack confidence but trust peers • 🧠 Presentation format shapes peer influence • 🎯 Controlled herding can boost collaboration outcomes 👉 Read more: arxiv.org/abs/2505.21588

Thrilled to share that our work has received the Outstanding Paper Award @c3_nlp #NAACL2025! 🎉 Huge congratulations to @snyrai_ & @khushi_shelat for leading this collaborative effort, and thanks to @jeffrey_ch0 for delivering an amazing talk on behalf of his co-authors! 🙌🏽

#NAACL2025 How to compare cultural differences with social media data in scale? Our work uses lexica to annotate X 🇺🇸 & Weibo 🇨🇳 posts with valence (😄☹️) & arousal (🔥❄️) scores, revealing cross-cultural differences in emotional expression. aclanthology.org/2025.findings-…

🚨 New preprint on AI persuasion and public health 🚨 A 3-min conversation with GPT-4o nudged HPV-vax-hesitant parents (who obv knew it was AI & consented!)—BUT reading standard public-health material still outperformed chatbots in impact and longevity. Details below 👇

#NAACL25 #C3NLP How do cultures differ in their mental health struggles? Do they seek professional help or emotional comfort? Check out our study on cross-cultural differences in mental health expressions on Reddit. aclanthology.org/2025.c3nlp-1.1… #mentalhealth #depression #llm

🚀 How well can LLMs know you and personalize your response? Turns out, not so much! Introducing the PersonaMem Benchmark -- 👩🏻‍💻Evaluate LLM's ability to understand evolving persona from 180+ multi-session user-chatbot conversation history 🎯Latest models (GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5,…

Does #shame manifest differently across #cultures? Yes. Can LLMs identify #norms behind shame? Yes. Are women shamed more than men? Yes!!! Can #LLMs identify when someone is shamed? arxiv.org/abs/2402.11333 #NAACL2025

🚨 LLMs must grasp implied language to reason about emotions, social cues, etc. Our @GoogleDeepMind paper presents the Implied NLI dataset. Targeting social norms 🌎 and conversational dynamics 💬, we enhance LLM understanding of real-world implication! arxiv.org/abs/2501.07719

Can Text-to-Image models understand common sense? 🤔 Can they generate images that fit everyday common sense? 🤔 tldr; NO, they are far less intelligent than us 💁🏻‍♀️ Introducing Commonsense-T2I 💡 zeyofu.github.io/CommonsenseT2I/, a novel evaluation and benchmark designed to measure…

if you trust @GoogleDeepMind Gemini about itself, it has 1.56 trillion parameters and cost Google $1-2billion (as opposed to GPT-4 which cost OpenAI $500M.) there were more than 100 engineers in the team who worked on Gemini. jailbreak by 한국어 🤣🤣🤣 g.co/bard/share/09c…
