SaLM

SaLM is an interdisciplinary project between Inria Paris and Sciences Po that aims to redefine current Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models-based, algorithms by incorporating social contexts into their development and evaluation. It emphasizes the importance of understanding language as a reflection of cultural and social identities. To explore this sociological dimension in NLP, the project includes two interrelated PhD projects about hate speech detection and cultural bias detection, gathering a mixed team of sociologists and NLPers to measure the role of the social dimension and prepare sociologically aware language models.
