CopeNLU

Good morning from Budapest! ☀️ CopeNLU is at #EMNLP2026 with papers on knowledge, culture & bias in LLMs, among others, plus a LUHME keynote. Come say hi to @iaugenstein.bsky.social @apepa.bsky.social @sekh-copenlu.bsky.social @saravera.bsky.social, Siddhesh, Dawar & Philip! 📍 Where to find us ⤵️

🚨 Last chance -- closing in two days: call for a postdoc position on mechanistic interpretability and AI reasoning in our @copenlu.bsky.social lab ⤵️ @aicentre.dk #NLProc #XAI #academicjobs

Link to Paper: Not What, But How: A Communicative Audit of LLM Response Framing [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.02493] Data Available at: huggingface.co/datasets/sid... See you at @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social A huge thanks to co-authors: Sarah Masud, Haneul Yoo, Alice Oh, and @iaugenstein.bsky.social

🚨Closing in two weeks: opportunity to apply for a postdoc position on mechanistic interpretability and AI reasoning in our @copenlu.bsky.social lab ⤵️ @aicentre.dk #NLProc #XAI #academicjobs

Our paper on measuring epistemic diversity in LLMs is accepted to #EMNLP2026! We find that diversity has improved, though LLM output is much less diverse than Web search, especially for non-English. Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04226 Code/data: github.com/dwright37/ll... #NLProc @copenlu.bsky.social

Excited to share that our work, "BiasGym: A Simple and Generalizable Framework for Analyzing and Removing Biases through Injection", was accepted at the EMNLP 2026 (Findings). 📄 Paper (Updated): arxiv.org/pdf/2508.08855 💻 Code: github.com/copenlu/Bias...

This paper addresses how LLMs encode their own knowledge and external context when explaining different knowledge-interaction scenarios, and how these interaction dynamics change over longer sequences in Natural Language Explanation, CoT reasoning, and hallucination generation.

Excited to share that our work, "Multi-Step Knowledge Interaction Analysis via Rank-2 Subspace Disentanglement", was accepted at the EMNLP 2026 (Findings). Huge thanks to my amazing PhD supervisors: @iaugenstein.bsky.social, and @apepa.bsky.social! See you all in Budapest 🇭🇺!

How do people use images to spread misinformation online?🖼️ We developed a taxonomy, 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 arxiv.org/abs/2608.29681
