VIBE: Can a VLM Read the Room? (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Vision Language Models (LLMs) cannot account for the role that non-verbal cues play in understanding social situations. |
| Approach: | They propose a task to test the capabilities of Vision Language Models (VLMs) to account for the visual social-pragmatic inference gap. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task tests the capabilities of a VLM for a social reasoning task. |
Splits! Flexible Sociocultural Linguistic Investigation at Scale (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Variation in language use offers a rich lens into cultural perspectives, values, and opinions. |
| Approach: | They propose to construct a "sandbox" for systematic and flexible sociolinguistic research by splitting a reddit dataset into demographically/topically split SLPs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method analyzes a demographically/topically split Reddit dataset validated by self-identification and replicating several known SLPs from existing literature. |
