For today's reading group, @marlutz.bsky.social presented "State media control influences large language models" by Waight et al. (2026) Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #NLProc

State media control influences large language models | Nature nature.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Chinese state-media content appears in typical LLM training sets at roughly 41 times the rate of Chinese-language Wikipedia.
  • Across 37 countries, models prompted in the local language produce more regime-favorable responses in countries with lower press freedom.
  • A pretraining experiment with just 6,400 state-scripted documents pushed an open-weight model to pro-government responses nearly 80 percent of the time.

#TBT #NLProc 'Classist Tools: Social Class Correlates with Performance in NLP' by Curry et al. (2024) finds NLP tools perform worse on lower-SES speech - higher perplexity, more ASR errors, dialect flagged as "wrong" by grammar checkers. arxiv.org/pdf/2403.04445

#MemoryModay #NLProc Countering Hateful and Offensive Speech Online - Open Challenges" (Flor Miriam Plaza-Del-Arco, @deboranozza.bsky.social, et al. 2024) presented a tutorial on the challenges and solutions for detecting and mitigating hate speech online. aclanthology.org/202…

Countering Hateful and Offensive Speech Online - Open Challenges aclanthology.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • The EMNLP 2024 tutorial in Miami, by five researchers, treats online hate-speech moderation as a set of open challenges, not a solved product.
  • Topics include multilingualism, counter-narrative generation, a hands-on session with a popular hate-speech detection API, and fairness and ethics in AI.
  • The abstract names no specific API, no detector numbers, and frames safer online spaces as a collaboration goal rather than a shipped technology.

#TBT #NLProc '[MASK]? Making Sense of Language-Specific BERT Models' by @deboranozza.bsky.social, Bianchi & @dirkhovy.bsky.social (2020), explores language-specific vs universal BERT models. arxiv.org/pdf/2003.02912

For today's reading group, @veraneplenbroek.bsky.social presented "Old Habits Die Hard: How Conversational History Geometrically Traps LLMs" by Simhi et al. (2026) Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2603.03308 #NLProc

[2603.03308] Old Habits Die Hard: How Conversational History Geometrically Traps LLMs arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • A new arXiv paper introduces History-Echoes, a framework showing conversation history biases what large language models generate next.
  • Across three model families and six datasets, the authors find gaps in latent space form a 'geometric trap' confining a model's response trajectory.
  • The work suggests hallucinations from earlier turns can influence later responses, implying an early mistake tends to persist inside a session.

For this week reading group, @arimuti.bsky.social presented "Ownership in AI-Assisted Everyday Tasks" by Megan Wei et al. (2026) Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2609.20658 #NLProc

Ownership in AI-Assisted Everyday Tasks arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • In a qualitative survey, 42% of respondents said they could 'definitely' have done high-ownership tasks without AI, versus 63% for low-ownership tasks.
  • Researchers at Brown, Carnegie Mellon, Berkeley and the Artificiality Institute surveyed 64 participants, with 52 complete responses, on two recent AI-assisted tasks each.
  • Loss of personal voice and lack of comprehension both erode felt ownership; willingness to disclose AI use is decoupled from pride and shaped by community norms.

#TBT #NLProc 'Understanding Political Discourse on Twitter through Election Manifestos' Maurer et al. (2024) present a method for predicting party positioning from tweets aclanthology.org/2024.finding...

Toeing the Party Line: Election Manifestos as a Key to Understand Political Discourse on Twitter aclanthology.org
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • An EMNLP 2024 paper extends manifesto-based party-position modeling to Twitter, using hashtags as a fine-tuning signal in place of hand-labeled data.
  • The authors report that the resulting party positionings are stable and consistent with those derived from official manifestos.
  • The method holds up in low-resource settings, working when only smaller subsets from shorter time periods are available.
