Can you spot when AI bluffs?๐ค Can you outguess AIโor work with one to dominate trivia?๐
๐ We are hosting the first HumanโAI coop trivia (Quizzing) competition.
๐ฒPlay, ๐ ๏ธbuild, or โ๐ผwrite questions...
..and win prizes ๐.
๐ฅณ Itโs fun, free, and happening this June ๐ง ๐ค๐

๐จ New Paper! ๐จ
Multiple-choice benchmarks use accuracy (boring), but education has way cooler scoring schemes! ๐คฉ
๐ Lose points if wrong
๐ Try until you're right
๐ Wager points
At #EMNLP2026, we show these schemes shift LLM ranks, align with LLM Arena, + unmask LLM quirks

๐จ New Paper! ๐จ
Your agent is writing code faster than you can understand it ๐ฌ
In our controlled online study, coding agents helped users finish tasks quickly, but reduced how well they understood the code they just โwroteโ
We also find three ways to avoid this tradeoff ๐๐งต

Introducing Voice Arena STT Leaderboard.
LibriSpeech is older than the transformer.
FLEURS is people reading translated Wikipedia sentences aloud.
This is still how the industry ranks speech models. In 2026.
Today we're releasing the Voice Arena STT Leaderboard - a human-verified benchmark for STT accuracy on real, spontaneous conversation, across 7 languages: ๐บ๐ธ US English, ๐ฎ๐ณ Hindi, ๐ง๐ฉ Bangla, ๐ง๐ท Brazilian Portuguese, ๐ป๐ณ Vietnamese, ๐ท๐ด Romanian & ๐ธ๐ฆ Arabic ๐งต

๐ Presenting this on July 5 at 11:00 AM in Poster Session A at #acl2026nlp.
๐: arxiv.org/pdf/2605.28255
Come chat about when humans should let AI take the wheel, when they should push back, and what live human-AI collaboration reveals that static benchmarks miss.

We made a trivia game that has humans and computers cooperate: humans could let AIs buzz in for them to answer trivia questions (complete delegation) and then they worked with computers to answer other trivia questions collaboratively.
Come to #acl2026nlp Poster Session A!
๐งต Trusting AI is not one decision.
In our ACL 2026 paper, expert trivia players had to decide when to let AI answer, when to ignore it, and when to change their minds because of it.
The main failure mode was not blind trust.
๐ Huge thanks to everyone without whom this wouldn't be possible: my amazing co-authors: @YooYeonSung1, @houyu0930, @enfleisig, Irene Ying, @zhoutianyi, and @boydgraber; the UMD CLIP group; all participants and question writers/editors.

Can you spot when AI bluffs? Can you outguess AI or work with one to dominate trivia? Can you make an AI that can figure out tricky visual questions?
