@c3_nlp We are back for the 4th year in a row with the Workshop on Cross-Cultural Considerations in NLP at #ACL2026NLP!

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! 🫶

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#aiarxiv.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.

Next, we have Lise Dobrin, Professor at the Department of Anthropology and Linguistics Program at the University of Virginia. She will share insights gained through nearly thirty years work with Arapesh people in the Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea.
🎉 Excited to share our NAACL main paper on simulating survey response distributions via first-token alignment fine-tuning. Many thanks to our collaborators: Haijiang Liu, @rnav_arora@IAugenstein@paul_rottger and @daniel_hers. More details, paper link and code, see below👇

📢Happy to share our paper "Does Mapo Tofu Contain Coffee? Probing LLMs for Food-related Cultural Knowledge" has been accepted to #NAACL2025 main!
Work with Taelin Karidi, Wanlong Liu, @nGarneau@YongCaoPlus , Wenyu Chen, Haizhou Li, @daniel_hersarxiv.org/pdf/2404.06833
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.
