This was an interesting and fun project, led by @joseba_fdl.

The findings are quite intriguing as well, and probably not what one would immediately expect! 👇

W&C-Sent: 1.6k+ English sentences from social media labeled for perceived warmth (trust, sociability) & competence toward individuals and target groups (key for studying stereotypes, biased lgge, & other #NLProc and #CSS applications). Link👇

See you tomorrow at the WASSA workshop! 👋

I will be talking about social media from an interdisciplinary perspective, and lessons learned on how we NLP'ers can contribute to other disciplines (e.g. social sciences) more effectively.

[Yi (Jodie) Zhou @jodieyzhou]

Can RAG amplifies social bias and which component affects the most?

@Tianhui will present our work on 27th March (Friday) from 9:00-10:30 in the Safety, Alignment and Prompt-Induced Risk oral session. He is also on the job market. Come to chat with him 🚀

On Thursday, we had the pleasure of hosting @davendw , who presented his work on "Efficient LLMs on the Edge" at our Cardiff #NLProc seminar. Thank you for visiting us!

[Prof. Danushka Bollegala @Bollegala]

Retrieval Augmentation (RAG) is great for injecting knowledge that was not available to an LLM during its training and improves its factual accuracy, while reducing hallucinations. However, there is a catch! We find that RAG also amplifies social biases in the generator 1/
