Concluding my time at @Cornell, about to start a new position at @LMU_Muenchen and looking for students. I had an amazing time working as a post-doc with @fabulousQian and her team, looking at AI from the perspective of human-computer interaction. I learned so much about...

Excited to share that our survey paper "Charting the Landscape of African NLP: Mapping Progress and Shaping the Road Ahead" has been accepted at #EMNLP2025! Here’s a short 🧵 about the paper. 1/N

Moving mostly to Bluesky. So follow me there for updates on human-centric AI & NLP research bsky.app/profile/mhedde…

Interested in a PhD position in #NLProc at @MaiNLPlab in beautiful Munich working on topics related to human-centric trustworthy NLP/AI/LLMs? Then hurry up, two weeks left to apply to our PIs: - #MCML mcml.ai/opportunities/… - @ELLISforEurope: This year, if you are applying to ELLIS and consider joining @MaiNLPlab, please submit your material additionally to MCML -- see also our lab's website for further details: mainlp.github.io/jobs/ If you are looking for more concrete topics of interest (not limited to) @MaiNLPlab, check out my recent ACL 2024 keynote slides for a broad overview: bplank.github.io/talks/ACL-2024… or our upcoming #EMNLP2024 papers (more soon!) We are looking forward to your applications!

Still 14 days to apply for the fully-funded PhD positions at the @MunichCenterML The call covers many areas of ML and the positions will be with PIs and groups at @LMU_Muenchen and @TU_Muenchen in Germany, incl. my group on human-centric NLP and AI. mcml.ai/opportunities/…

Fully funded PhD opportunities at @MunichCenterML! Applications open on 15 October 2024. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in research topics at @CisLmu. Our Principal Investigators: @HinrichSchuetze, @barbara_plank, and @MicHedderich.

MaiNLP (@MaiNLPlab) is growing! Excited to welcome our new team members postdoc Silvia @eclipto93, postdoc Janet @janetlauyeung and PhD student Ryan Shim + @MicHedderich's MaiNLP team is growing with PhD student Florian joining us this month! 🌄🚴🤠🥳 @CisLmu @MunichCenterML

Creating personas in a human-AI workflow and enabling designers to "chat" with survey data. A project with my colleagues at Aalto I had the pleasure to participate in, led by @JoongiShin

This is joint work with @fabulousQian @nataliebazarova Wenting Zou, Ryun Shim, Xinda Ma and our awesome students at @Cornell

desirable and undesirable reactions to cyberbullying in a safe environment. We'll present the paper at #CHI2024 next week on Wednesday: programs.sigchi.org/chi/2024/progr… For those who can not join live (or don't want to wait 😉), the paper is already online: arxiv.org/abs/2402.17456

Empowering (non-AI-expert) teachers to build their own LLM-based chatbots and studying how they (!) want to use chatbots in their classrooms. In our #CHI2024 paper, we created a no-code chatbot design tool for K-12 teachers. Using LLMs and prompt chaining, our tool allows...

human-focused aspects of AI and NLP development (like low-resource, model explanations and working with domain experts) both from a technical ML and NLP or from an HCI perspective, feel free to reach out! [Pictures from the beautiful Cornell campus in Ithaca]

my more technical ML and NLP roots while at the same time incorporating human-centric aspects into my research. I've got several upcoming projects, and I'll also be looking for PhD students. If you are interested (or if you know someone who is interested) in...

Presenting an NLP-focused version of our last year's ICML paper on how to understand why your model is failing with global explanations arxiv.org/abs/2311.10920 at @BlackboxNLP And very much looking forward to meeting a lot of cool people at #EMNLP2023

We might not be as cool as GPT-4, but hey, we're getting there!😅 At #CHI2023, we'll present our latest @acmtochi article, SparseIMU - a computational method 🤖 to rapidly select optimal IMU layout for gesture recognition with freehand ✋ and grasping ✍️ dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/35…

Computer scientists @MicHedderich and @JonasFischerML developed software that can point out weaknesses in highly complex machine learning algorithms and thus help to correct them. Find out more: sic.link/pypremise
