Hello everyone! We are quite a bit late to the twitter party, but welcome to the MIT NLP Group account! follow along for the latest research from our labs as we dive deep into language, learning, and logic π€ππ§
MIT NLP @ ICLR 2025 - catch
@MehulDamani2 at poster 219, Thursday 3PM to chat about "Learning How Hard to Think: Input Adaptive Allocation of LM Computation"!
I am super excited to be presenting our work on adaptive inference -time compute at ICLR! Come chat with me on Thursday 4/24 at 3PM (Poster #219). I am also happy to chat about RL/reasoning/ RLHF/ inference scaling (DMs are open)!
I'll be presenting our work "Eliciting Human Preference with Language Models" at ICLR! Come catch my poster Thursday 4/24 at 10AM β iclr.cc/virtual/2025/pβ¦
Also DM me if you're interested in world models, interpretability, personalized interaction, or just general chatting!
π Can AI help us understand whales β and ourselves? π· New TED Talk recorded at @TEDAISF is live!
@MIT researcher @pratyusha_PS explores how machine learning is decoding the language of sperm whales β opening new frontiers in AI, linguistics & nature.

Your LLM may be sparser than you thought!
Excited to announce TEAL, a simple training-free method that achieves up to 40-50% model-wide activation sparsity on Llama-2/3 and Mistral models. Combined with a custom kernel, we achieve end-to-end speedups of up to 1.53x-1.8x!
MIT NLP @ ICLR 2025 - catch @zhaofeng_wu at poster 240, Saturday 10 AM to chat about "The Semantic Hub Hypothesis: Language Models Share Semantic Representations Across Languages and Modalities"!
Come chat with us on Saturday 4/26 at 10am (poster #240) if you're interested! Also DM is open -- happy to chat about multilinguality/interpretability/any random stuff during the conference! (though I may respond faster to email/whova)
