New #NLProc paper! @seanpapay.bsky.social and I propose a constraining method for decoding from LLMs that combines the advantages of grid beam search (fast) and DFA-constraining (not biased towards satisfying easier constraints earlier): "fair grid beam search": www.romanklinger.de/publications...

Tomorrow, #lrec2026 starts (for us)! On Tuesday, we are coorganizers of the Social on+NLPSI workshop, on Saturday of the CAS workshop. In between, we have a set of papers across various sessions.

#LREC2026 #NLProc papers from @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de ! See you in Palma!

Good news! #NLProc methods cannot detect deception! @aswathyve.bsky.social's paper got accepted to the Computational Linguistics Journal. "What if Deception Cannot be Detected? A Cross-Linguistic Study on the Limits of Deception Detection from Text" Preprint arxiv.org/abs/2505.13147

#LREC2026 #NLProc papers from @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de ! See you in Palma!

Interested in real world probability (estimates) and how LLMs and humans misinterpret them? Want to do a PhD in #NLProc? Please get in touch and apply in this awesome project lead by @seanpapay.bsky.social (as part of @bamnlp.de at @uni-bamberg.de)

We’re hiring! A 3-year PhD position at the Chair for Funamentals of NLP at Uni Bamberg to study how LLMs represent and reason about probabilistic world knowledge. Full details & application info: www.uni-bamberg.de/fileadmin/ab...

We would like to share with you the contributions that we make to the @eaclmeeting.bsky.social in Rabat in March. See you all there to talk about #NLProc!

We wish you a relaxing holiday season! (and no reviewing obligations until next year) 🎄

Thanks again for your visit, the presentation, and all the interesting discussions we had!

I visited @uni-bamberg.de this week to give a Bamberg Center for AI lecture, and had the opportunity to meet many brilliant researchers, thanks for the invitation @bamnlp.de, @bamdial.bsky.social and BaCAI committee

Tomorrow I'll give my inaugural lecture @uni-bamberg.de – if you don't know what language technology #nlproc is, and want to know what @bamnlp.de works on, please feel invited! If you can't make it at 6pm to Weberei 5 in Bamberg ("Erba Campus"), send me a message and I'll share a streaming link.

.@barbaraplank.bsky.social visited @uni-bamberg.de to present her perspective on #labelvariation in natural language processing. A very inspiring talk, from which our #NLProc groups @bamnlp.de and @bamdial.bsky.social as well as groups working on other modalities learned a lot. Thanks, Barbara!

Happening now: Sean Papay presents his work on CRFs for distant interactions in X5, 223 :-). #xllm #nlproc #acl2025

On his way to #ACL2025, Saif Mohammad (x.com/SaifMMohammad) made a stop @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de to give a very inspiring talk on "NLP for Affective Sciences". A recording of the talk is available at youtu.be/LYC6gDJMwac Thanks for visiting us! #NLP #NLProc

We will be at @aclmeeting.bsky.social in #Vienna next week! with some main and workshop papers, and an affinity group meeting. If you want to talk to us, please have a look at the group's schedule. We are looking forward to talking to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch! #NLProc #NLP #ACL2025

Last week, we've been on a retreat to talk about the big picture of our research, research ideas, and synergies between group members – and did some team building. @annefriedrich.bsky.social was our external guest and helped us out of a couple of local optima. Thank you for participating!

Organized with involvement from our group 🤩 – thanks @aswathyve.bsky.social for taking the lead!

✨ The First NLPSI Workshop @ ICWSM 2025 is a wrap! Huge thanks to the speaker (Bennett Kleinberg), authors, reviewers, attendees, and co-organizers (Sofie Labat, Neele Falk, @florplaza.bsky.social, @romanklinger.de & Veronique Hoste) who made it a success. nlpsi-workshop.github.io/highlights/

Today, we had Goran Glavaš from @uni-wuerzburg.de in our research seminar for a talk "On Multilingual Abilities of (Different Types of) Language Models" at @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de Thanks for visiting us, Goran!

We have five #nlproc papers accepted at @aclmeeting.bsky.social – after just one year in @uni-bamberg.de . Hope to meeting many of you in Vienna!

We are really happy about this new collaboration, in which we use our experience with #LLM models for automatic text simplification in #psychology research.

Today, Eyke Hüllermeier gave a talk in our BACAI lecture series, on uncertainty quantification in machine learning. The main message was the difference between inherent randomness and a lack of knowledge: aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.
