Excited to share that our paper on KID-VLM has been accepted to #ACL2025 Findings! ๐
This work is a nice addition to a growing but still underexplored area of #NeurosymbolicAI approaches for complex social issues ๐งฉ. We believe these methods will provide significant advances in both prediction and generation tasks, especially where nuance and context matter.
Our work develops a #NeurosymbolicAI approach, KID-VLM, that combines the #LVLMs and commonsense #KnowledgeGraphs to detect subtle and context-rich cues of #OnlineToxicity.
#OnlineToxicity often disguises itself behind sarcasm, dark humor, and cultural nuance. Our approach bridges the gap between implicit signals in neural models and explicit reasoning through symbolic knowledge, improving recall, accuracy, and interpretability.
Read the preprint ๐: arxiv.org/abs/2411.12174
Thanks to our amazing team for pushing this forward, and to the ACL community for recognizing this effort!
with @trilokpadhi_ Rahul Garg, Hemang Jain, @ponguru

Detecting #OnlineToxicity is a challenging problem because it often hides behind sarcasm, dark humor, and cultural references. ๐งฉ To address this problem, we need models that capture explicit contextual cues and provide culturally informed decision criterion to separate #harmful from #harmless. ๐ง ๐

"We are not heroes. I continue to have qualms of conscience that I did so little."

NAMI is deeply concerned by the Administration's plan to reorganize @HHSGov โ disrupting the bipartisan progress we've made to address Americaโs mental health, suicide, and substance use crises.
We must ensure that HHS and @samhsagov staff can continue their critical work during a time when it is desperately needed.

Have you ever received mental health training at work? The new NAMI/@ipsosus poll about workplace mental health shows that when employees get training about mental health, they feel more comfortable talking about mental health concerns at work. Using tools like training to reduce stigma around mental health is crucial!
Learn more at nami.org/MentalHealthAtWork2โฆ
ALT An infographic by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, titled "Big Picture: When employers offer mental health trainings, stigma decreases and employee comfort increases!" It shows a 58% decrease in stigma and a 70% increase in employee comfort. At the bottom of the image in small font is nami.org/MentalHealthAtWork2025.

๐ฐ Which type of student loan borrower are you? ๐ฐ
New research led by Dr. Gaurav Sinha uncovers four distinct financial profiles among young adults repaying student loans:
๐ด Financially Strained (21%) โ Struggling to make ends meet
๐ก Financially Capricious (20%) โ Unpredictable spending habits
๐ข Financially Balanced (29%) โ Managing debt responsibly
๐ต Financially Vulnerable (30%) โ At high risk of default
Your gender, race, and education level may influence where you land. Employment, income, and even marital status also play a role.
๐ These findings could help financial counselors tailor interventions to prevent student loan defaults.
Grateful to have worked with an excellent team, including Christopher Larrison @crlarrison and Sicong Sun to bring this research to light!
