At #EMNLP2026 LUHME today, I spoke about Explainable & Robust Automatic Fact Checking.

AI-assisted fact-checking needs more than accurate verdicts: it needs evidence, faithful explanations, and effective uncertainty communication.

People use LLMs to answer subjective, culturally situated questions. Most benchmarks ask whether the answer is correct, but they overlook the framing features (eg, insider positioning)

📄 New #EMNLP'26 paper: "Not What, But How: A Communicative Audit of LLM Response Framing"

Accepted to #EMNLP2026: "What and Whose Knowledge? Measuring Epistemic Diversity in Large Language Models"

We measure epistemic diversity in today's LLMs, finding it has improved over time, but not enough

How do people use images to spread misinformation online? 🖼️

We analysed 27k posts from X in 7 languages & found:
🔹Slanted framing of real images is more common than deepfakes and doctored images
🔹Vaccine misinfo borrows credibility via news screenshots
