Boulder NLP has 19 papers accepted to #ACL2026 across the main conference, findings and workshops! 🚀 We'll be presenting work on morphology, machine translation, narratives, low-resource languages, CSS, HCI, LLMs, fairness/bias, and more. See you in San Diego! 🌊 ☀️ 🌮

Computational approaches to media narrative analysis either miss nuanced storytelling patterns through coarse-grained analysis, or require domain-specific taxonomies that limit scalability. We show joint event and character modeling can address this gap. Details in our #ACL2026 (Main) paper. 🧵1/10

What’s the best way to analyze online discourse on any given topic? Is there a right way to use NLP tools to sift through massive datasets? To find out, we tested several tools across different collaboration settings and report findings in an #ACL2026 (Main) paper: arxiv.org/abs/2408.09030 🧵1/7

Excited to announce that the PolyGloss paper has been accepted to @aclmeeting.bsky.social! Previously, we trained models to help in endangered language documentation workflows by automatically predicting interlinear glosses. But real-world user studies revealed crucial issues...

Can structured inference improve structured prediction with LLMs? BLAST Lab's Matt Pauk has answers! 💡 Read the paper: aclanthology.org/2026.eacl-lo... Find him at #EACL2026 🇲🇦✨ — Poster Session 6, March 27, 11:00–12:30.

We're thrilled to celebrate our own Martha Palmer, who has been appointed to the UN Independent International Scientific Panel on AI! Here's what she had to say: 🧵⬇️

Strong showing from Boulder NLP at #EMNLP2025! 🚀 Come find us at these sessions to discuss morphology, semantics, LLMs, cultural analytics, HCI, and more. See you in Suzhou! 🇨🇳

Now that school is starting for lots of folks, it's time for a new release of Speech and Language Processing! Jim and I added all sorts of material for the August 2025 release! With slides to match! Check it out here: web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/sl...

Excited to be presenting my work with @teaywright.bsky.social at #COLING2025 next week in Abu Dhabi! Find us in poster session 6/E on Jan 22nd (11 AM in the atrium). Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.17427

Measuring Contextual Informativeness in Child-Directed Text

To address an important gap in creating children's stories for vocabulary enrichment, we investigate the automatic evaluation of how well stories convey the semantics of target vocabulary words, a tas...

Our paper was accepted to #COLING! If you work on low-resource MT and have ever found yourself limited to bible data, you might find this interesting.
