My student @nlee0212 will be at #naacl2024 to present our paper on "Exploring Cross-Cultural Differences in English Hate Speech Annotations" arxiv.org/pdf/2308.16705
We start with the simple fact that English is widely spoken globally, but current NLP datasets are focused on how English is used in North America.
This raises a particularly important concern for tasks like hate speech detection, where many cultural and regional nuances matter. We collected social media posts containing hate speech from ๐บ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ง๐ธ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐บ๐ฟ๐ฆ, and we asked annotators in those countries to annotate the union of all regional posts.
There is low agreement among the annotators from the different countries, and LLMs perform worse for non-US annotations, especially Singapore and S. Africa.
This highlights the importance of considering the cross-cultural differences in NLP research, especially when building benchmarks and evaluating LLMs. With @imjuhokim @CamachoCollados @jin__jiho

Let's be honest. For everyone in ML/NLP, it's a really exciting time but also very stressful with so many new papers, models, benchmarks, deadlines, reviews, talks, workshops, conferences...
How do you keep up and stay sane?
For me, the only solution is collaboration. 1/n

๐Today we're launching this investigation into LAION-5B, the blockbuster dataset behind Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. It's a deep dive into how the dataset was made, and where the images come from. The brilliant @christo_buschek & @blprnt follow the models all the way down.

I was the one who disabled these papers (in my role as @aclanthology director) in response to a request from the EMNLP chair(s). The issue has now been referred to the ACL Executive Committee and in the meantime I have re-enabled them. What follows is an explanation.
If you're looking for our recent paper on model editing on the ACL anthology and cannot find it, it's because it has been taken down without cause or due process.
The paper is still available on arXiv, feel free to read it there.

Replying to @NatalieShapira @DrorRotem
I can't stress this enough: an anonymous member of our scientific community profiled a group of researchers based on their nationality or religion and methodically filed unsubstantiated complaints against them.
Ans this anonymous McCarthyst may be an AC making impactful decision.

1/ Just published a more thorough blogpost on possible solutions to the @meta @WhatsApp security issue we had exposed a few days ago.
I hope @WhatsApp will make things right, fix their initial response and own this issue.

This is the best example I've found yet of how derivative AI 'art' is. The person who generated the image on the left asked Midjourney to generate 'an average woman of Afghanistan'. It produced an almost carbon copy of the 1984 photo of Sharbat Gula, taken by Steve McCurry. 1/

"We're just asking for a ceasefire. We're not taking sides. Why is Israel objecting?"
So many people just don't understand Israel's position.
They think that they're being fair. They think they're on the side of "humanity". Their intentions are genuinely well-intended.
Others think that the two sides are as bad as each other. Some even openly say as much.
But the fact is that there's just no symmetry between Israel and Hamas.
There was a ceasefire in place until the morning October 7. Hamas didn't so much break it as rip it down, film itself ripping it down, and dance brazenly on its grave.
Hamas has for years been attempting to provoke Israel on the Gazan border, planting bombs along it, flying incendiary kites over it, digging tunnels under it leading all the way to Israeli kibbutzim, all with the aim of murdering and abducting as many innocents as possible.
Three weeks ago, those murderous dreams were partly realised. These were the most heinous acts in recent memory; not just targeting civilians for murder but butchering them alive, and subjecting people to emotional torture by murdering and mutilating relatives in front of them. Pure, malicious and unparalleled thuggery.
Israel is in a war not against just Hamas the organisation, but also against Hamas the mentality.
The mentality that Israelis are subhumans worthy of death.
The mentality shared by too many across the Middle East, with no small measure of ardent support from sympathisers in the West, that whatever Israel does, attacks on it are always justifiable.
The mentality that when Israel defends itself, it must play by the rules, even if those provoking Israel trample all over them without hesitation.
Against an enemy like that, there must be the strongest of responses.
It seems clear to me that many in the West are not actively against Israel, but rather just don't have the stomach for the fight. They want to see some poorly-defined concept of "fairness".
That can't happen in the real world. And Israel can't entertain the fantasies of armchair observers who do not live with savage barbarians on their doorstep, no matter how noble their intentions may be.
Allowing Hamas to live to fight another day only perpetuates the fighting. Israelis are well aware of the horrendous human cost of this war, but are also conscious of the far greater cost of not deterring genocidal maniacs from realising their aspirations.
That is why Israel must continue till Hamas is wiped out.
Nothing less will do.
