LMs need linguistics! New paper, with @futrell.bsky.social, on LMs and linguistics that conveys our excitement about what the present moment means for linguistics and what linguistics can do for LMs. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2501.17047. 🧵below.
🤗 Super excited to have this work out!
Turns out by calculating the angles 📐 between representations, you can pick out difficult data samples! This can be very useful for assembling hard test sets or more efficient training sets.

📣 Calling #NeurIPS2024 participants!
While everyone enjoys the last day of the beautiful Vancouver 🏔️🇨🇦, consider join our initiative and contribute to building models with more inclusivity and diversity, and mitigating implicit and explicit bias.
‼️Cuz we are in the post-training era now‼️
📢 Calling all SEA-passionate individuals!
SEACrowd is excited to launch our contributor call for SEA-VL Phase 2: Building Visual Language Models for Southeast Asia! 🌏
After the success of Phase 1, we're now taking on a bigger mission (see thread)👇
⭐️ We're going to launch Grassroots Science, a year-long ambitious, massive-scale, fully open-source initiative aimed at developing multilingual LLMs aligned to diverse and inclusive human preferences in Feb 2025.

📣 New paper!
We observe that reasoning language models finetuned only on English data are capable of zero-shot cross-lingual reasoning through a "quote-and-think" pattern.
However, this does not mean they reason the same way across all languages or in new domains.

First bsky post about tinlab at #EMNLP2024! A few highlights:
* Presentations from Aditya Yedetore and Hayley Ross on neural network generalizations!
* I'm giving a keynote at GenBench & organizing BlackboxNLP
* Ask me about our faculty hiring & PhD/postdoc positions at Boston University!
