LLMs As Judges Accepted to ACL2025
The revised version of this fruitful collaboration has been accepted to ACL 2025! In this study, we evaluate the reliability of LLMs as judges of machine-generated outputs. If you're curious to know more,have a look at the latest preprint!

New Paper Accepted to CoNLL
In this paper, we evaluate vision-language and language-only models in their ability to capture experiential aspects of meaning and align with fMRI responses to single words. Check out the pre-print to learn more!

New ArXiv Preprint
In this work, we investigate the alignment between brain fMRI responses to concepts and concept representations extracted from multiple vision-and-language, language-only, and vision-only models. Our results indicate that vision-and-language models might be better suited to capture the multimodal aspects of concept representations. I am very thankful to Marianne for everything I've learnt from her during this project and to Sandro and Raquel for their helpful supervision!

Publication on Neural Networks
In this work, we look at how pruning can be used to improve the alignment between DNN embeddings and human similarity judgments. I'm extremely grateful for being part of this project led by Homa Priya Tarigopula and supervised by Uri Hasson!
