Applications of Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models for Social Determinants of Health: #Protocol for a Systematic Review Background: In recent years, the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and public health has opened innovative pathways for investigating social determinants of health (SDOH) in textual datasets. Despite the promise of NLP in the SDOH domain,…

A new paper accepted in @colmweb.org COLM 2025! I led a group of 3 brilliant students to dive deep into the problem of discrimination in language models. We discovered that models that take racist decisions don’t always have biased thoughts!
