We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Grow Up and Merge: Scaling Strategies for Efficient Language Adaptation

Introducing Global PIQA, a new multilingual benchmark for 100+ languages. This benchmark is the outcome of this year’s MRL shared task, in collaboration with 300+ researchers from 65 countries. This dataset evaluates physical commonsense reasoning in culturally relevant contexts.

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

We have over 200 volunteers now for 90+ languages! We are hoping to expand the diversity of our language coverage and are still looking for participants who speak these languages. Check out how to get involved below, and please help us spread the word!

An abbreviation (ABB) in a journal article (JA) or Grant Application (GA) is rarely worth the words it saves. Every ABB requires cognitive resources (CR) and at my age by the time I'm halfway through a JA or GA I no longer have the CR to remember what your ABB stood for.

Have LLMs Finally Mastered Geolocation? - bellingcat We tasked LLMs from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Mistral and xAI to geolocate our unpublished holiday snaps. Here's how they did.

We all know AI models can now create realistic images and videos but how do they fare at identifying where a real image was taken? Bellingcat researchers have put Large Language Models to the test: www.bellingcat.com/resources/ho...

Executive Summary A pro-Russia content aggregation network, Pravda, appears to be set up to flood large-language models with pro-Kremlin content, The American Sunlight Project has found. Over the past several months, ASP researchers have investigated 108 new domains and subdomains belonging to the Pravda network, a previously-established ecosystem of largely identical, automated web pages that previously targeted many countries in Europe as well as Africa and Asia with pro-Russia narratives about the war in Ukraine. ASP’s research, in combination with that of other organizations, brings the total number of associated domains and subdomains to 182. The network’s older targets largely consisted of states belonging to or aligned with the West. Notably, this latest expansion includes many countries in Africa, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and North America. It also includes entities other than countries as targets, specifically non-sovereign nations, international organizations, audiences for specific languages, and prominent heads of state. The top objective of the network appears to be duplicating as much pro-Russia content as widely as possible. With one click, a single article could be autotranslated and autoshared with dozens of other sites that appear to target hundreds of millions of people worldwide. ASP researchers also believe the network may have been custom-built to flood large language models (LLMs) with pro-Russia content. The network is unfriendly to human users; sites within the network boast no search function, poor formatting, and unreliable scrolling, among other usability issues. This final finding poses foundational implications for the intersection of disinformation and artificial intelligence (AI), which threaten to turbocharge highly automated, global information operations in the future.

A pro-Russia content aggregation network is churning out at least 3 MILLION pieces of propaganda per year, all on sites that are virtually unusable by humans.

So what's the goal? We explore the idea that it might be to flood LLMs with pro-Russia content:

This is a limited study, only considering one language and only evaluating summarization performance, but so far these findings seem to hold even in follow-up experiments in other setups. There’ll be more on this coming up next year!

Even with the quite limited data I used, having more trainable parameters consistently lead to better scores.

The best setup was LoRA in the feed-forward module, followed by bottleneck adapters. LoRA in the attention module was less stable & performed worse, especially considering the number of parameters added. Prefix tuning and (IA)^3 didn’t really work in comparison.

Train More Parameters But Mind Their Placement: Insights into Language Adaptation with PEFT Smaller LLMs still face significant challenges even in medium-resourced languages, particularly when it comes to language-specific knowledge -- a problem not easily resolved with machine-translated da...

New short paper, to appear at NoDaLiDa 2025! I’ve written up findings from ablation studies on language adaptation of small LLMs with limited data/compute using different PEFT methods and setups: arxiv.org/abs/2412.12674

Great points! The example prompt on the first page is truly painful💀

I had a great couple of days at SLTC in Linköping. The Swedish NLP community is doing well. Thanks @jeku.bsky.social and others for organizing!

1) I want his job
2) I need to create a dataset that contains this sentence

I’d like to be on there :)
