Thrilled to share that our paper “Towards Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment” has been accepted to #NeurIPS2025 (Position Track)! 🎉 👫<>🤖We argue for an explicit reflection on what we mean by “alignment”, and to take into account the bidirectional, dynamic interactions between
📢Is current “human-AI alignment” research clarified and comprehensive? 🤔 We systematically reviewed 400+ papers across HCI, NLP, and ML to develop a framework for 👫<>🤖"Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment", encompassing the dual paths of “Aligning AI to Human” and “Aligning Human

Two caveats with self-alignment: ⚠️ A single model struggles to reliably judge its own generation. ⚠️ A single model struggles to reliably generate diverse responses to learn from. 👉 Introducing Sparta Alignment, where multiple LMs collectively align through ⚔️ combat.

Our new paper @digital_rsc is out💡@kchonyc @_angie_chen Do LLMs capture intrinsic chemistry, beyond string representations? Across SMILES & IUPAC: ❌ SOTA models: very low consistency (<1%) ⚖️ 1-to-1 mapped finetune ↑ consistency, not accuracy Read: https://t.co/iyUYqgivIx

Thank you for highlighting our “Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment” work in the amazing #ACL2025 keynote by @verena_rieser✨! We appreciate it and are inspired to see growing interest in bidirectional and broader alignment—at ACL, ICLR & CHI #BiAlign workshop, and beyond. Excited

Thanks to our amazing @jaewon_kim_ 's lead, we're organizing the #CSCW2025 workshop on "✨Design for Hope✨" -- exploring how design can help us cultivate deliberate hope amid complex societal challenges. Welcome to check it out! 👉
Excited to share that we will continue to explore the Positech agenda @ACM_CSCW 2025 in-person workshop on how design might help us cultivate deliberate hope in the face of complex societal challenges, whether in our everyday or broader aspirations 🌱 👉 https://t.co/nnkWldMUbu

Thank you for having me😊. Look forward to speaking at this webinar tomorrow -- I’ll share thoughts on the critical role of #Humans in shaping #AI and #LLM leaderboards, research, development, and alignment. Looking forward to brainstorming with others building more
One day to go 🚨 Join @Cohere’s Oliver Nan, @UW's @huashen218, and Prolific’s Nora Petrova for “Why AI leaderboards miss the mark,” tomorrow @ 12:00 PM EDT. You'll improve your approach to LLM benchmarking and learn to measure model performance more reliably. Register now ⬇️

Thank you for sharing this, @chrmanning! 🙌 It was my keynote on "Foundation Model for Sequential Decision-Making: A World-Model Learning Perspective." Honored (and honestly overwhelmed) to have you taking pictures of my slides — I’m a huge fan of your work. Would be thrilled
Learning about World Models, Understanding, Modeling and Scaling at @iclr_conf this morning proved not quite realistic! Shouldn’t the organizers have guessed this would be pretty popular in 2025?

We’re having amazing Been @_beenkim giving us opening keynote now at Garnet 216-217 now! 👏#ICLR really love the sushi houses 🏡🧡😄
Excited to give the opening keynote at bidirectional human AI alignment workshop time at 9am! And adding a picture with @ylecun after being stopped every second by folks who wanted to take pictures with him (we were just walking out of ICLR board meeting). The peer pressure was
