🚨 New paper alert!
🇯🇵🤔 Why are all LLMs Obsessed with Japanese Culture? On the Hidden Cultural and Regional Biases of LLMs 🇯🇵🤔
👉 We find that LLMs show strong regional preferences, often disproportionately favoring certain countries, such as Japan. 🇯🇵
If your research is around metaphor detection and interpretation, this article is for you! It introduces Meta4XNLI, the first parallel dataset for Natural Language Inference (NLI), in both English
and Spanish: https://t.co/GAmhTKtbQU #NLProc
Come to chat about lemmatization by Gen LLMs today during the Findings session at 12:30!
Our joint work with @ragerri and @alan_akbik

Come by to chat about metaphor!
Our weekly seminars are back! 🎉
We welcomed @eli_sanba and @joseba_fdl from the University of the Basque Country.
Elisa Sanchez-Bayona discussed Automatic Metaphor Processing, and Joseba Fernandez de Landa Aguirre spoke on instructing LLMs for low-resource languages.
🎉 Happy to present my poster "Metaphor and Large Language Models: When Surface Features Matter More than Deep Understanding" at @aclmeeting in Vienna!
📅 Tue, 29/07 10:30-12:00 Hall 5 (54)
Joint work w/ @ragerri@Hitz_zentroa
See you there!
3. @eli_sanba , Rodrigo Agerri. Metaphor and Large Language Models: When Surface Features Matter More than Deep Understanding. In ACL Findings, Poster Session 10.30am, 29/07 Tuesday.
In today’s seminar, @eli_sanba presented the work of her ongoing PhD thesis: From Automatic Metaphor Processing in Spanish to a Multilingual Perspective: Annotation, Systems, and Evaluation.
Check out our new accepted paper at @sepln 74: "Language Independent Stance Detection: Social Interaction-based Embeddings and Large Language Models". Joint work with @ragerri at @Hitz_zentroa .

I am happy to announce that our latest work on Visually Augmented Language Models has been accepted in #COLING2025
We present Blind-VaLM, a simple approach removing the need for explicit images to visually augment an LM, while still achieving strong performance on VLU and NLU.
🚨Happy to share that our paper “A LLM-Based Ranking Method for the Evaluation of Automatic Counter-Narrative Generation" has been accepted at #EMNLP2024 Findings! 🎉
Congrats to all coauthors! @Aitor57@ragerri@Hitz_zentroa@IxaTaldea
today, im excited to release a repository that implements llama3 from scratch -- every matrix multiplication from attention across multiple heads, positional encoding and every other layer in between has been carefully unwrapped & explained. have fun :)

Can you imagine having all the evidence of data contamination gathered in one place?
📢As part of the CONDA workshop, we present the Data Contamination Evidence Collection, a shared task on reporting contamination.
Available as a @huggingface space:

Do LMs struggle to understand the meaning of metaphorical expressions? We tested if LMs correctly perform NLI between a premise and a hypothesis when the inference depends on a metaphor. Results suggest that LMs perform worse when metaphors affect the inference in the NLI task.
Do LMs correctly interpret metaphor? We present Meta4XNLI! The first EN-ES pallalel dataset annotated for metaphor detection and interpretation via NLI; joint work w/ @ragerri@IxaGroup@Hitz_zentroa

Are LMs able to mark which words in a sentence are not literal? We developed a series of multilingual, cross-lingual and cross-domain experiments to evaluate their capabilities in the task of metaphor identification.
Methapor dataset with some twists
They annotated Spanish 117K tokens (3.6K sentences) for being metaphoric or not
🟦new dataset
🟦2-10% of sentences have a metaphor🤨
🟦Cross lingual - SoTA on Spanish, and they didn't even multitask
