@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.

Our paper ImageChain (with @IngoZiegler & @delliott) was accepted at #WACV2026! We explore how multimodal LLMs reason over sequences of images I’ll present it at the @_LXAI Workshop @NeurIPS 🇲🇽 (Nov 30 ~10:45 Mex City). Come chat if you’re there! 🫶 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2502.19409

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 🕹️ 🧵👇

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

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. 🧵
