Excited to share that our work got accepted at #NAACL2025 Main. 🥳

1️⃣ How good are LLMs in detecting adverse drug reactions and providing mitigation strategies?

2️⃣ How can we measure LLM-expert alignment in long-form generations?

Adverse Drug Reactions are among the leading causes of hospitalizations for mental health issues. LLMs have the potential to detect ADRs and provide mitigation strategies.

But do LLMs align with experts? 🤔 We explore this in our work 👇🏼🧵

Congratulations @jcforiest, @shravika_mittal, & @munmun10 of SocWeb on being awarded the DEI recognition at #CSCW24 - taking an inclusive definition of GBV highlights experiences of gender minorities whom face disparate risks of violence on & offline. https://t.co/dQbckLqVoA

[SocWeB Lab at Georgia Tech @SocwebGT]

Are GBV survivors' online challenges similar to offline when sharing experiences? SocWeB researchers @JCForiest, @shravika_mittal, and @munmun10 and collaborators Kirsten Bray and Anh-Ton, studied Reddit users' experiences using mixed-methods approach. See findings at #CSCW2024!

Congratulations to our own @munmun10 for being inducted into the SIGCHI Academy! 🥳🎊

A well-deserved recognition for her work and efforts throughout these years 🙌

[Munmun De Choudhury, PhD @munmun10]

Thrilled and humbled to share I've been inducted into the SIGCHI Academy! This honor is a testament not just to my work but to the incredible community around me. A heartfelt thank you to my nominator, students, mentors, mentees, & collaborators 1/3
@ICatGT @gtcomputing @SocwebGT

[Mohit Chandra @mohit__30]

Opportunity to mentor students is one of the reasons why I switched from industry to academia. Recently, I gave a guest lecture in @munmun10's Social Computing course at @GeorgiaTech

I talked about practical approaches to applying comp. methods in Social Comp. Key Takeaways 🧵👇🏼

[Eric Horvitz @erichorvitz]

Today, @github made Copilot available to all. Free for students & maintainers of popular open source projects. Great cross-org, cross-company collaboration @Azure @OpenAI https://t.co/QsVmZpHxDl #Aether @MSFTResearch #AI #gamechanger

Wondered what happens when cyberbullying detection approaches don’t center themselves on the survivors’ perspectives? Our #ICWSM2021 paper examines the influence of “insider”/“outsider” perspectives https://t.co/0IzhqplIOB w/ @Afsaneh_Razi @gianluca_string @pamwis @munmun10 (1/7)

So proud of @kous2v: it's been an incredible 5-year journey together at @SocwebGT! There was a lot of competition to get @kous2v, I am glad @MSFTResearch is what he chose eventually! @MSFTResearch is lucky to have him and I'm lucky to be graduating my PhD student #2 :)

[Munmun De Choudhury, PhD @munmun10]

Incredibly proud to have known and worked with @mai_elsherief for the past two years as a postdoc in my @SocwebGT group and at @gtcomputing! @ucsd_cse is lucky to have her! Congratulations Mai!

[Koustuv Saha @kous2v]

Not the greatest of times to share a happy update. Starting Fall 2021, I will join Microsoft Research, Montréal. I am excited and looking forward to the next phase of my life @MSFTResearch @Microsoft

[Mai ElSherief, Ph.D. @mai_elsherief]

I am delighted I will be joining @ucsd_cse as an Assistant Teaching Professor this summer! I will be building a research group focusing on Computing for Social Good involving undergraduate and graduate students. Ping me if you are interested in working on CSS/NLP + Social Good.
