Doing not Being: Concrete Language as a Bridge from Language Technology to Ethnically Inclusive Job Ads
This paper makes the case for studying concreteness in language as a bridge that will allow language technology to support the understanding and improvement of ethnic inclusivity in job advertisements. We propose an annotation scheme that guides the assignment of sentences in job ads to classes that reflect concrete actions, i.e., what the employer needs people to do, and abstract dispositions, i.e., who the employer expects people to be. Using an annotated dataset of Dutch-language job ads, we demonstrate that machine learning technology is effectively able to distinguish these classes.

Unsung Challenges of Building and Deploying Language Technologies for Low Resource Language Communities
In this paper, we examine and analyze the challenges associated with developing and introducing language technologies to low-resource language communities. While doing so, we bring to light the successes and failures of …
How FaR Are Large Language Models From Agents with Theory-of-Mind?
"Thinking is for Doing." Humans can infer other people's mental states from observations--an ability called Theory-of-Mind (ToM)--and subsequently act pragmatically on those inferences. Existing question answering benchm…
In-Context LearningQuestion AnsweringBACH-V: Bridging Abstract and Concrete Human-Values in Large Language Models
Do large language models (LLMs) genuinely understand abstract concepts, or merely manipulate them as statistical patterns? We introduce an abstraction-grounding framework that decomposes conceptual understanding into thr…
Improving Language Plasticity via Pretraining with Active Forgetting
Pretrained language models (PLMs) are today the primary model for natural language processing. Despite their impressive downstream performance, it can be difficult to apply PLMs to new languages, a barrier to making thei…
