Oct 11, 2024 I received a $1,000 Small Grant from the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Equity to expand my research on homogeneity bias in Large Language Models. This study will explore a broader range of models and parameter settings to examine when the bias appears in model outputs.
Sep 30, 2024 My submission to the Annual Convention of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) 2025 titled, “More Distinctively Black and Feminine Faces Lead to Increased Stereotyping in Vision-Language Models”, was accepted for poster presentation.
Jul 11, 2024 The pre-print of my new paper “Probability of Differentiation Reveals Brittleness of Homogeneity Bias in Large Language Models” was made available on ArXiv. We find that homogeneity bias in Large Language Models, as measured by probability of differentation, is volatile across situation cues and writing prompts.
Jul 10, 2024 The preprint of my new paper “More Distinctively Black and Feminine Faces Linked to Increased Stereotyping in Vision-Language Models” is now available on ArXiv. We find that prototypically Black and feminine faces are subject to greater streotyping in Vision Language Models. Look out for my blog post on this article!
Jul 08, 2024 I completed my role as Reviewer for the ACL 2024 Student Research Workshop (SRW), where I reviewed quality submissions related to Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing, and Bias and Fairness.
Jun 05, 2024 My paper “Large Language Models Portray Socially Subordinate Groups as More Homogeneous, Consistent with a Bias Observed in Humans” has been made available on the ACM Digital Library as part of the Proceedings of the 2024 ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency.
May 23, 2024 I will be serving as a Reviewer for the ICML 2024 Trustworthy Multi-modal Foundation Models and AI Agents (TiFA) Workshop. This opportunity aligns with my recent interest in examining stereotyping in multimodal language models.
May 14, 2024 I am happy to share that I will be a program committee member of the Socially Responsible Language Modelling Research (SoLaR) Workshop at NeurIPS 2024.
Apr 29, 2024 I am thrilled to announce that I have been awarded a $1,000 travel grant to attend the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT) in 2024.
Apr 29, 2024 You can now access the preprint of my paper “Large Language Models Portray Socially Subordinate Groups as More Homogeneous, Consistent with a Bias Observed in Humans” on ArXiv.
Apr 26, 2024 I was accepted to the OpenAI API Researcher Access Program! As part of the program, I will be granted OpenAI API credits to continue my work on homogeneity bias in Large Language Models.
Mar 30, 2024 My submission to ACM FAccT 2024 titled “Large Language Models Portray Socially Subordinate Groups as More Homogeneous, Consistent with a Bias Observed in Humans” was accepted for publication. See you in Rio!
Mar 22, 2024 I completed a review of a manuscript submitted to the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (PSPB). This was my first experience reviewing a paper for a social psychology journal.
Feb 08, 2024 I received the Outstanding Research Award at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) 2024 Annual Convention for my submission titled, “Outgroup Homogeneity-like Effect in Large Language Models.”
Dec 29, 2023 My paper, “America’s Racial Framework of Superiority and Americanness Embedded in Natural Language” was formally accepted for publication at PNAS Nexus. The article is available as an Advance article as of Jan 2, 2024.
Dec 16, 2023 I successfully presented my paper (poster) “The Effect of Group Status on the Variability of Group Representations in LLM-generated Text” at NeurIPS 2023 which took place in New Orleans, LA!
