@c3_nlp We are back for the 4th year in a row with the Workshop on Cross-Cultural Considerations in NLP at #ACL2026NLP! c3nlp.github.io Our workshop brings a real interdisciplinary exchange, to figure out how to build models that don't just erase cultural differences.

Can we find weight directions to modify LLM's behaviors? Our new paper proposes contrastive weight steering, an alternative to activation steering for modifying behaviors using small narrow distribution data 🕹️ 🧵👇

@tallinzen That's true. But the whole discussion is sideways, as being able to support a family financially is about income vs. expenses, not just about salary. That's where this FIRE nonsense comes in 🙂

Good thread! I'd also add that faculty positions are often decently paid, give you the freedom to do work that benefits society, and, if everything works out, you can keep the job for life so you don't need to worry about saving 50% of your income and all of that FIRE nonsense.

Even before @mmitchell_ai recently raised this discussion, I've had conversation after conversation with students & new grads struggling with this exact dilemma. I want to help! Here's a live thread of AI-related opportunities for those looking to do good & make (enough) money:

New preprint: "Decoding Alignment: A Critical Survey of LLM Development Initiatives through Value-setting and Data-centric Lens" 🔍 Beyond a survey, this is a presentation of a series of concerns on what we could frame as "corporate" alignment #llms #ai arxiv.org/abs/2508.16982

New Preprint 🎉: "Cultural Evaluations of Vision-Language Models Have a Lot to Learn from Cultural Theory". We review recent works on culture in VLMs and argue for deeper grounding in cultural theory to enable more inclusive evaluations. Paper 🔗: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.22793

@nsaphra @VeredShwartz Yes, I'm also using this "loophole" for some of my papers. It's fine even if I asked for a reduced load for Feb, right? I already AC'ed 12 papers for Dec 😮‍💨

@VeredShwartz I think there's an exception if all qualified reviewers are ACing?

The ARR policy requiring a qualified author (3 main *CL papers) to review 4 papers per submission makes it impossible for junior faculty to submit papers. I have 9 students, only 2 are qualified reviewers. I will need to review 16 papers in this cycle to avoid desk rejects. 1/2

Prior work has used LLMs to simulate survey responses, yet their ability to match the distribution of views remains uncertain. Our new paper [arxiv.org/pdf/2411.05403] introduces a benchmark to evaluate how distributionally aligned LLMs are with human opinions. 🧵
