CROSSNEWS: A Cross-Genre Authorship Verification and Attribution Benchmark

AAAI 2025technical

Authorship models have historically generalized poorly to new domains because of the wide distribution of author-identifying signals across domains. In particular, the effects of topic and genre are highly domain-dependent and impact authorship analysis performance greatly. This paper addresses the…

CollabLLM: From Passive Responders to Active Collaborators

ICML 2025oral

Large Language Models are typically trained with next-turn rewards, limiting their ability to optimize for long-term interaction. As a result, they often respond passively to ambiguous or open-ended user requests, failing to help users reach their ultimate intents and leading to inefficient conversa…

SimulatorArena: Are User Simulators Reliable Proxies for Multi-Turn Evaluation of AI Assistants?

EMNLP 2025

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in interactive applications, and human evaluation remains the gold standard for assessing their performance in multi-turn conversations. Since human studies are costly, time-consuming, and hard to reproduce, recent work explores using LLMs to simula

Reducing Privacy Risks in Online Self-Disclosures with Language Models

ACL 2024long

Self-disclosure, while being common and rewarding in social media interaction, also poses privacy risks. In this paper, we take the initiative to protect the user-side privacy associated with online self-disclosure through detection and abstraction. We develop a taxonomy of 19 self-disclosure catego…

Dancing Between Success and Failure: Edit-level Simplification Evaluation using SALSA

EMNLP 2023long main

Large language models (e.g., GPT-4) are uniquely capable of producing highly rated text simplification, yet current human evaluation methods fail to provide a clear understanding of systems' specific strengths and weaknesses. To address this limitation, we introduce SALSA, an edit-based human annota…

LENS: A Learnable Evaluation Metric for Text Simplification

ACL 2023long

Training learnable metrics using modern language models has recently emerged as a promising method for the automatic evaluation of machine translation. However, existing human evaluation datasets for text simplification have limited annotations that are based on unitary or outdated models, making th…

Is GPT-3 Text Indistinguishable from Human Text? Scarecrow: A Framework for Scrutinizing Machine Text

ACL 2022long

Modern neural language models can produce remarkably fluent and grammatical text. So much, in fact, that recent work by Clark et al. (2021) has reported that conventional crowdsourcing can no longer reliably distinguish between machine-authored (GPT-3) and human-authored writing. As errors in machin…

MultiTalk: A Highly-Branching Dialog Testbed for Diverse Conversations

AAAI 2021technical

We study conversational dialog in which there are many possible responses to a given history. We present the MultiTalk Dataset, a corpus of over 320,000 sentences of written conversational dialog that balances a high branching factor (10) with several conversation turns (6) through selective branch…
