Thank you @mdredze for bringing me on to evaluate patient-facing chatbots. Loved tackling the hard problem of evaluating open-ended tasks in high-stakes AI, especially with domain experts in the loop. Will miss you and everyone at Dredze lab!
Congratulations to @SonalSSJ on finishing her postdoc with my group. We worked on systems to identify errors and omissions in medical chatbot responses. One paper is already out, and several more are on their way. Great work @SonalSSJ ! proceedings.mlr.press/v297/y…

I just finished the first year of my PhD. Rather than just share my own perspective, I sat down with 7 other students in my cohort and talked with them about their experiences in depth. In my new post, I share some of our biggest lessons: jonathanivey.github.io/2026/…

We introduce WaltzRL🎶, a multi-agent RL framework that treats LLM safety as a positive-sum game between conversation & feedback agents. It strikes an elegant balance between helpfulness & harmlessness, boosting safety & reduces overrefusals without degrading capabilities!
💃New Multi-Agent RL Method: WaltzRL💃 📝: arxiv.org/abs/2510.08240 - Makes LLM safety a positive-sum game between a conversation & feedback agent - At inference feedback is adaptive, used when needed -> Improves safety & reduces overrefusals without degrading capabilities! 🧵1/5

#Lhotse now supports annotating audio files with OpenAI's #Whisper! Here's a quick demo I created in 10 mins to transcribe the first 100 recordings from VoxCeleb. See PR from @PiotrZelasko: github.com/lhotse-speech/lho… Here's the sample audio: tinyurl.com/3vjxnubk
