Come to my keynote tomorrow at the first official @queerinai.com workshop at #NAACL2025 to hear about how trans languaging is complex and cool, and how this makes it extra difficult to process computationally. I will have SO many juicy examples!

Check out our new paper on unlearning for LLMs 🤖. We show that *not all data are unlearned equally* and argue that future work on LLM unlearning should take properties of the data to be unlearned into account. This work was lead by my intern @a-krishnan.bsky.social

#INRA2025 #RecSys2025

Hello! INRA is a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss technical innovations, societal, ethical, and legal aspects of news recommendation and analytics.

The upcoming 13th edition of our workshop will be co-located w/ @recsys.bsky.social in Prague.

Stay tuned to this channel!

Joint work with Florian Schneider, Chris Biemann, and @gglavas.bsky.social

My first paper on multilingual vision-language, and couldn't be happier how this work turned out!🙂

Cross-modal topic matching correlates well with other multilingual vision-language tasks!

🤗Images-To-Sentence (given Images, select topically fitting sentence) & Sentences-To-Image (given Sentences, pick topically matching image) probe complementary aspects in VLU

X-modal to text-only perf. *gap* shows that VL support decreases from high to low-resource language tiers:

Images/Topic→Sentence (for I/T, pick S): narrows with less textual support (left)
Sentences→Image/Topic (for S, pick I/T): increases with less VL support worse (right)

Strong vision-language models (VLMs) like GPT-4o-mini maintain good performance for top-150 languages, only to drop to performing no better than chance for the lowest resource languages!

Introducing MVL-SIB, a massively multilingual vision-language benchmark for cross-modal topic matching in 205 languages!

🤔Tasks: Given images (sentences), select topically matching sentence (image).
