Working on #bias & #discrimination in #LanguageTechnology? Passionate about integrating insights from different disciplines? And do you want to discuss current limitations of #LLM 
research on bias mitigation & algorithmic discrimination?
Join the #workshop "New Perspectives on Bias and Discrimination in Language Technology", held 4 & 5 Nov in #Amsterdam!
Deadline Call for Abstracts is currently open: September 15th, 2024

We're super excited to host
@dongng, John Lalor, @zeerak and @az_jacobs as invited speakers at this workshop!
Submit an extended abstract to join the discussions; either in a 20min talk or a poster session.
One of the central issues discussed in the context of the societal impact of language technology is that ML systems can contribute to discrimination. Despite efforts to address these issues, we are far from solving them.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different fields to discuss the state of the art on bias measurement and mitigation in language technology and to explore new avenues of approach.
This workshop is organized by @AmsterdamNLP @uva_amsterdam & @UvAHumanities researchers Katrin Schulz, Leendert van Maanen, @wzuidema, Dominik Bachmann, and myself.
More information on the workshop can be found on the website, which will be updated regularly.
