With Yufang Hou, Steffen Eger, Wei Zhao, Yong Cao.

Tutorial Website: ai4science-tutorial.github.io
Survey: arxiv.org/abs/2502.05151

Interested in #AI4Science but don't know where to start? No worries -- at #EACL2026, we will give a #tutorial providing an overview of recent advances in AI-assisted tools and models that support and enhance the entire scientific research process, building upon findings from our recent survey paper.

🌈 What makes each of us unique, and which ethical and technical challenges around AI does this imply?

Still enough time left to submit to our 2nd Workshop on Identity-Aware AI, held in conjunction with LREC 2026. The deadline is Feb 20 (Fri), 2026.

The conference will include a diverse program including talks by our two esteemed keynote speakers: Dr. Valentin Hofmann, Allen Institute for AI and Prof. Dr. Barbara Plank, LMU Munich. Looking so much forward to your talks!

This year’s KONVENS will take place our beautiful city, Hamburg, September 14–17, under the special theme “Context Matters: NLP Beyond Text”.

The call can be found on our website: konvens2026.uni-hamburg.de.

I am delighted to announce the 1st call for papers for "Konferenz zur Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache" (#KONVENS) 2026, the conference for #NLProc and computational linguistics organized under the auspices of the GSCL, the GfS-CL, the ÖGAI, and SwissNLP. @uni-hamburg.de

Hallucinated citations are real. A reminder to (1) control the exact bibliographic info of **every single reference** provided by LLMs that we would want to use, or better (2) not use these systems to suggest references (those are likely to be biased recommentations).

Markus Lanz vom 16. Dezember 2025 Was Künstliche Intelligenz leisten kann und welches enorme Potential in ihr steckt, wie KI soziale Strukturen prägt und welche ethischen Herausforderungen mit ihrer Nutzung verbunden sind.

I just re-visited this Marcus Lanz show from December. I really have to say that I am so happy to see two absolutely professional women in this show both of which I know personally and value very much. We can be so proud to have Judith Simon in Hamburg.

simplified overview of our aligned probing setup, where we join the behavioral and internal evaluation of LMs' toxicity

LMs that "know more" about toxicity are less toxic!
Our #TACL 📄 connects behavior and internals:
💠 LMs amplify toxicity beyond humans
💠 Information about toxicity peaks in lower layers
💠 Bypassing these layers increases toxicity

🚨 Are you looking for a PhD in #NLProc dealing with #LLMs?
🎉 Good news: I am hiring! 🎉
The position is part of the “Contested Climate Futures" project. 🌱🌍 You will focus on developing next-generation AI methods🤖 to analyze climate-related concepts in content—including texts, images, and videos.

“You speak Bavarian? Then you must be uneducated + closed-minded.”

🤯 Not your opinion? Good. But it might be your LLM’s!!

🧵 Check out our #EMNLP2025 paper, where we uncover concerning dialect bias in recent LLMs - including GPT-5.

Wie schaffen wir eine KI, die kulturelle Vielfalt repräsentiert? Anne Lauscher und Carolin Holtermann erforschen an der University of Hamburg Business School, wie man verzerrten KI-Darstellungen entgegenwirken kann.

Wie divers sind eigentlich KI-Modelle – und warum spielt das eine Rolle? Unsere Forschung mit @a-lauscher.bsky.social and @carolin-holtermann.bsky.social zeigt, dass vielfältige Trainingsdaten entscheidend für faire und sichere KI-Systeme sind.
