🎉 Happy to have presented my postdoctoral work in collab with Laurent Prévot & @fourtassi.bsky.social at #ESLP2026 ! 🧠 Can distributional input alone support the emergence of abstract relational knowledge? We explore this through computational models of child-directed speech. #NLPproc #cogsci

Late lunch for an @abstractionerc.bsky.social delegation at ESLP2026.SCIENCESCONF.ORG in Lancaster today :-) And the conference starts tomorrow! @tomlamarra.bsky.social @grambelli.bsky.social @caterinavillani.bsky.social

🎓Another month, another experience! I'm in Turin, teaching inside the DANES ScHack summer school digitalpasts.github.io/ScHack2026/.

🌟Today I'm in Pisa attending the ILC day at the CNR. A nice moment to connect with old friends and colleagues and to see the future lines of research carried on by Italian CNR in the #CL and #NLP areas!

✈️2026 starts with with a visiting at the Institute for Natural Language Processing @ims-stuttgart.bsky.social invited by Sabine Schulte im Walde and her group. I’ll be giving a talk titled Analogy in Language Processing: A Constructionist and Computational Approach to Productivity 🎓

👀 Look what 🎅 has broght just before Christmas 🎁: a brand new Research Master in Natural Language Processing at @facultyofartsug.bsky.social @rug.nl Program: www.rug.nl/masters/natu... Applications (2026/2027) are open! Come and study with us (you will also learn why we have a 🐮 in our logo)

Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (CMCL) workshop will be co-located with LREC 2026 in Palma, Mallorca!🌴Stay tuned for more details!✨ @byungdoh.bsky.social Tatsuki Kuribayashi @grambelli.bsky.social Philipp Wicke, Jixing Li, Ryo Yoshida @cmclworkshop.bsky.social

Seeing this slide after completing my postdoc at @abstractionerc.bsky.social makes me emotional. Great talk of @mariannabolog.bsky.social at the workshop "Large and Small Language Models: stato dell’arte fra limiti e prospettive" at Unibo. Many works about abstraction and LLM are on the horizon! :)

See you online in 15 minutes :)

📢 This Wed, Nov 19 (10–11:30 AM MT|6PM CET), I’ll be giving a Syntax–Semantics talk at CU Boulder! Title: Analogy in Language Processing I’ll discuss how humans + LLMs interpret novel noun–noun compounds, and what this reveals about analogy as a driver of linguistic productivity. Join us (link ⤵️)📚

I'll be here today! ↴

Tomorrow I’m ready to hop on a train to Pisa right after my class, to take part in the round table at CNR ISTI, with top-notch computer scientists, to talk about the use and abuse of AI in research. I’ll be contributing the perspective of the humanities. Stay tuned! www.isti.cnr.it/it/ricerca/i...

Unfortunately, I will not attend #EMNLP2025, but you MUST pass by our poster! @tommasoc80.bsky.social will be there explaining our work "Simulating Identity, Propagating Bias: Abstraction and Stereotypes in LLM-Generated Text" with @piasommerauer.bsky.social @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social

GroNLP@gronlp.bsky.social · 9mo ago

With only a week left for #EMNLP2025, we are happy to announce all the works we 🐮 will present 🥳 - come and say "hi" to our posters and presentations during the Main and the co-located events (*SEM and workshops) See you in Suzhou ✈️

Evidence that even when LLMs produce similar results to humans, they “rely on lexical associations and statistical priors rather than contextual reasoning or normative criteria. We term this divergence epistemia: the illusion of knowledge emerging when surface plausibility replaces verification”

Another academic year at @abstractionerc.bsky.social starts with the seminar of prof. Filippo Domaneschi with his talk "Concretely offensive: the processing of reclaimed slurs". Recordings of the talk will be posted here: site.unibo.it/abstraction/...

Filippo Domaneschi, director of the Lab of Language and Cognition presenting at @abstractionerc.bsky.social on the reclamation of slurs, discussing pragmatic and psycholinguistic aspects in relation to abstraction mechanisms

✈️ Heading to Düsseldorf for the 2nd #CxGsNLP Workshop at #IWCS2025! I’ll present a non-archival paper from #ACL2024 + some follow-ups on how LLMs interpret existing and novel compounds. Excited for the discussions and meeting the vibrant community! On a mission for @abstractionerc.bsky.social

Just gave my talk “How Analogy Drives Language Comprehension: The Case of Novel Compounds Interpretation” 🤔🥑🤖 Explored how L1, L2 speakers & LLMs interpret brand-new compounds- L2+LLMs leaning on compositionality, L1 speakers often rely on analogy. Presented at the #Analogy workshop, #SLE2025 ✨

Starting now the workshop on Towards a better understanding of #analogy at #SLE2025 !

Excited to be at #SLE2025 this week! Presented 🗣️ two studies: 🔹 Iconicity ratings for Italian language across L1 & L2 speakers 🔹 Ambiguity of generality in a fantastic workshop on "Lexical Ambiguity in the Mind" Appreciated the feedback & discussions!

Abstraction and generalization are 🔥 topics in any linguistic and NLP conference.. and @abstractionerc.bsky.social team is always there to capture the moment! #SLE2025

Now attending the PLENARY SESSION at #SLE2025 in Bordeaux 🇫🇷 @dagmardivjak.bsky.social & @petarmilin.bsky.social: Top-down wisdom versus bottom-up noise: can data (ever) replace linguistic expertise? Excited to hear their insights! #linguistics #conference

Here we are at #SLE2025 in Bordeaux! @tomlamarra.bsky.social

I will end my postdoc with my first #EMNLP paper! So honored to work with such amazing researchers (and people!)

Tommaso Caselli@tommasoc80.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Could't get a better way to end my summer break: two papers accepted at #EMNLP Findings.

✈️ Off to Bordeaux for #SLE2025! On Friday I’ll present “How Analogy Drives Language Comprehension: The Case of Novel Compounds Interpretation” (a study on humans and LLMs) at the workshop Towards a better understanding of #analogy. Excited for talks, discussions & some Bordeaux-buzz 🍷
