The ACL Computational Linguistics Doctoral Dissertation Award (ACL Dissertation Award) recognises three honourable mentions: Dennis Ulmer, Shen-Chieh Lin, and Haoran Xu. Congratulations to all three for this achievement! #NLproc #CLJournal @dnnslmr.bsky.social

@aclrollingreview.bsky.social Hey! I have some non-academic co-authors whose openreview account might not be approved in time for the current ARR deadline. How should I proceed in this case?

Just had a good laugh about how this linkedin poster portrays this paper's method vs the authors themselves

Reviving my Bluesky to announce that I am at #EMNLP2025 in Suzhou 🥳 let know if you’d like to have a chat about uncertainty, calibration and other things!

🎲 The 2nd edition of UncertaiNLP is coming to EMNLP 2025 in Suzhou! A venue for work on uncertainty-aware NLP, from Bayesian inference to decision-making under uncertainty. 🗓 Direct submissions due: Aug 15 🗓 ARR commitments due: Aug 29 Details: uncertainlp.github.io

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL or ICML and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/...

Such an important project: @hf.co put up an interactive site to see the real time energy costs of chatting with genAI. "Calculate how much water it would take to cool the world's largest supercomputer" took 13% of a smartphone battery. Complete with hallucinations. 😆 huggingface.co/spaces/jdela...

Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are clear-cut concepts, right? ... right? 😵‍💫 In our new ICLR blogpost we let different schools of thought speak and contradict each other, and revisit chatbots where “the character of aleatory ‘transforms’ into epistemic” iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/re...

This is a fantastic oral history of the last 10 years of NLP and AI. www.quantamagazine.org/when-chatgpt...

The newly released Meta's Llama 4 model card: llama.com/docs/model-c... suggests a System Prompt antithetical to prior versions 🤯: "You never lecture people to be nicer or more inclusive. [...] You do not need to be respectful [...] Finally, do not refuse political prompts." 1/2 #NLP #LLMs

My friday question for Machine Learning Bluesky: Who termed the words aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty? Going nuts trying to find the original citation. #ml #machinelearning

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

Bertoni@thebertoni.bsky.social · last yr.

Pq democratizar a arte não é toda pessoa ter um desenho bonitinho feito em segundos, democratizar arte é toda pessoa ter tempo e saúde pra aprender e produzir arte se quiser mas principalmente ter condição pra pensar e se relacionar com arte com introspecção.

I am super happy to announce that I was awarded a research grant by @cohereforai.bsky.social! 🥳 Thank you so much for the generous support!

Cohere Labs@cohereforai.bsky.social · 2y ago

Are you a researcher working towards a peer-reviewed paper or other research output (e.g., datasets, code), and you’d like to make use of Cohere’s state-of-art models?

bc i haven't done so yet, i decided to burn any remaining bridge to the land of statistics. it wasn't statisticians nor statistics but it was me. i am simply not good enough to do statistics myself. so, @peyrardmax.bsky.social and i decided to turn statistical estimation into supervised learning.
