🧠 Which knowledge module do I need and how much of it ⁉️
🌟 Check out our latest paper, "What the Weight?! A Unified Framework for Zero-Shot Knowledge Composition", which has been officially accepted for Findings of the EACL Conference!

🚨 New paper alert: A new generation of LLMs can now process speech natively. This could expand access for millions excluded by text interfaces, but our research shows a cost: demographic cues in speaker voice can trigger stereotypical model responses. 🎙️⚖️
A huge thank you to all the amazing authors of this work!! ✨@minhducbui_nlp @KaitlynZhou @vjhofmann @kelina1124 @anne_lauscher

🛠️ Study 3: Mitigation exists. Discrimination tracks continuously with vocal pitch. Systematically lowering pitch reduced bias to statistically insignificant levels across all tested models.
📣 CFP: Eval4SD @ KONVENS 2026, Hamburg (Sept 14–17)
1st workshop on evaluating LLMs for specialized domains. We invite work on benchmarking, replication, and evaluation methodology across diverse fields.
Deadline: Jul 3, 2026, 23:59 CEST

✨Preprint Alert ✨
Thrilled to share that our paper has been accepted at the #EMNLP2025 main conference!
🚨 We uncover harmful stereotypical biases in LLMs toward German dialect speakers. 🚨

Looking forward to see you at the EACL!!
📅We're excited to present our Findings paper in a poster Session at the EACL Main Conference and additionally in an oral presentation at the MOOMIN (moomin-workshop.github.io/cf…) Workshop! @eaclmeeting
(2/2) Focusing on the scenario of domain knowledge and adapter layers, our framework provides a systematic unification of concepts, allowing us to conduct the first comprehensive benchmarking study of various zero-shot knowledge composition strategies.
