Proud of @navreeetkaur for spearheading this work! As LLMs become trusted advisors, evaluating responses without considering the social context of the asker is a major blind spot—especially in sensitive domains. Look forward to the discussions it will spark #ACL2026 @uw_ischool

📄 Check out our paper for more: aclanthology.org/2026.findings-… Come say hi at our #ACL2026 poster on Sunday (11-12:30pm) + talk about evals, user modeling, human-AI interaction! :) Thanks to my amazing collaborators @hayounggjung Hoda @shravika_mittal and mentors @munmun10 @tanmit

@michelle123lam Congrats!! They are so lucky to have you.

After over 10 years at Stanford, it's time to leave :) I will be joining UT Austin's CS department as an assistant professor in fall 2027! If you're excited to envision the future of interaction with AI, I'm recruiting PhD students this cycle. Come join me!

This is incredible @hua and Nick. So proud of you! It was a real honor to work with you this past year!

@huashen218 Congrats Hua and co-authors! Amazing work as always.

Thrilled to share that our paper “Towards Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment” has been accepted to #NeurIPS2025 (Position Track)! 🎉 👫<>🤖We argue for an explicit reflection on what we mean by “alignment”, and to take into account the bidirectional, dynamic interactions between humans and AI to achieve truly responsible and safe AI systems. 🧠+ if you’re generally interested in “alignment”, don’t miss our #NeurIPS2025 Tutorial on “Human-AI Alignment: Foundations, Methods, Practice, and Challenges” , with amazing @mitchellgordon & @adamfungi — more details coming soon! - 💎 NeurIPS 2025 Position Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2406.09264 - 📚 NeurIPS 2025 Tutorial: neurips.cc/virtual/2025/t… 💗 Huge thanks to our incredible co-authors — this was our 3rd resubmission — your persistent support and encouragement made it happen! Big thanks to everyone in our ICLR & CHI 2025 BiAlign workshops — your enthusiasm keeps us believing we’re doing something right for our community.🙏 ☕️👯‍♀️I’m attending #COLM2025 at Montreal this week, happy to chat more if you’re around! Also, we (w/ multiple co-authors) will present our #BiAlign paper in-person @SanDiego -- catch us at #NeurIPS2025, we’d love to hear your thoughts and join discussions!

🚨YouTube is a key source of health info, but it’s also rife with dangerous myths on opioid use disorder (OUD), a leading cause of death in the U.S. To understand the scale of such misinformation, our #EMNLP2025 paper introduces MythTriage, a scalable system to detect OUD myth🧵

China leading the way for ACL submissions while United States witnessing a significant drop from last year #ACL2025

Figuring it out what’s it like attending the largest ACL conference. Also returning to attend my first ACL as a faculty. The last one I attended was almost half a decade ago as a PhD student #ACL2025NLP

Woohoo! Congrats Hayoung! Such a well deserved award. It was a treat to work with you all these years and I can’t wait to see all the awesome things you are going to do next in your PhD journey!

Starting right now in our RAISE event @ecekamar keynote on AI agents. So much to learn in this fast moving field! @uw_ischool @uwcse

@bryan_johnson Do you have plans to launch outside the US, like in India and can this technology be used for patients with TBI? I have someone in my family with TBI and this would be a huge help. Regulatory approvals outside the US is also easier. DM if this is something you'd like to explore.

6/ If you're interested in brain health, you can now join one of two clinical trials: 1) Healthy aging - Kernel has distinguished normal cognitive changes from early disease signs using brain activity patterns. Kernel Flow is a promising tool to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and achieve high accuracy in distinguishing between MCI and healthy individuals.  Healthy volunteers can participate and will also receive a free, detailed report of brain function at the study’s end. Location: Culver City, CA. Sign up at kernel dot com / life

I injected the horse tranquilizer Ketamine and tracked my brain data for 15 days. It completely scrambled my brain. In a world-first we answered the question ‘what happens to the brain before, during, and after ketamine treatment?’ We also discovered how long it took for my brain to return to ‘normal’. The results surprised me. 🧵

Interested in Human-AI Alignment research and want to workshop the complex and evolving challenges in this space? Consider submitting your work at our interdisciplinary #ICLR2025 workshop @iclr_conf & #CHI2025 SIG. bialign-workshop.github.io/#/ Deadline Feb 15th.

@skairam @OpenAI This is so cool! Congrats Sanjay

“Information Sharing and Content Framing across Multiple Platforms and Functional Roles That Exemplify Social Processes of Online Hate Groups” by @shruti_ph and @tanmit examines how traditional, offline hate groups use Facebook and Twitter/X to create an online ecosphere of hate, misinformation, and conspiracies, to grow their movements, cultivate new recruits, and spread their dogma.
