Have you wondered if personally identifiable information removal techniques truly protect privacy in real-world scenarios? The authors of this article suspect that reported success of these attacks is largely overestimated. Read what they find here: doi.org/10.1162/COLI... @ivanhabernal.bsky.social

🏆 2026 Computational Linguistics Distinguished Reviewer Awards: It aims to highlight and promote high standards in peer review and to acknowledge reviewers whose contributions have had a meaningful impact on the quality of our journal. Congratulations to our 2026 awardees! #NLProc #CLjournal

CL Journal has over 50 years of history in the field. While the field is moving, some of the articles from decades ago provide perspective and still relevant content. What do you think of these articles from 20 and 40 years ago? (2006 and 1986) & yes, they used to come in paper format too! #NLProc

...must be for wearing the Bert-Costume 🤩 I'm deeply honored!

Congratulations to Sabine Wehnert on successfully defending her PhD dissertation at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg 🎓⚖️ Her research explores how legal knowledge from textbooks can be structured and made searchable to support more transparent and trustworthy legal AI.

Looks totally legit. Right? RIGHT? (these two fraudster accounts compromised our PrivateNLP ACL workshop - wasted time of reviewers, chairs, never replied back... We were not the only ones, so I asked OpenReview to ban their accounts for scientific fraud)

Attention #NLProc researchers, the EACL 2027 website is officially LIVE: 2027.eacl.org! 🎉 🇬🇷 Join us in Athens, Greece (Mar 9-13, 2027) at #EACL2027 📅 ARR submission deadline: Aug 6, 2026. Open to all areas of CL/NLP + related fields. Stay tuned for the detailed CfP soon!

TrustHLT retreat '26 - brainstorming high-school kids engagement, talking research at the Rhein-river, and barely making it out of an escape room 😅 Thanks to the amazing PhDs and PostDocs in my group, and Simone Balloccu for joining us as a guest researcher/photographer 😉

TrustHLT goes to #ACL2026! Arda Yüksel as the lead author got our paper accepted to the main conference. Check the cool viz and the full paper package: trusthlt.github.io/Moneta/

This major release of my lab's annotation tool, Potato 2.0, was a long time in the making but I'm really excited by all the new features (and quality of life improvements). If you're doing data annotation of any kind, check it out. Need any other features? We'd love to hear from you too!

@potatoannotator.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Super proud that today we're releasing Potato 2.0 - the biggest update yet to our open-source annotation platform www.potatoannotator.com 🥔 Major UI/UX improvements. Support for image, audio & video annotation. AI-powered assistance/hints/labeling. And still free 🤩 Here's some of what's new:

We are looking for 3 PhD students! The @boeckler-stiftung.bsky.social is funding a research group on “Human-in-Control: Implementing employee co-determination in the design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence” and we are looking for 3 students. Details: responsible-nlp.net/nfg/

Sadly, PRISM makes perfect sense in a world with 28,000 NeurIPS submissions, the idea that the writing of a paper to get bullets on a cv is all that matters, and the further idea that a blog post on a corporate site is equivalent to a paper.

OpenAI just released Prism, a LaTeX editor with embedded ChatGPT for free. Writing a paper has never been easier. Clogging the scientific publishing pipeline has never been easier. It took me 54 seconds to write up an experiment I did not actually conduct. prism.openai.com

In yesterday's exercise, I incidentaly got this spitted out by Qwen2.5-1.7B... what the heck is that? An internal system prompt? In any case, the "when in doubt" instruction tells a lot... :)

Area-chairing January ACL Rolling Review, checkint out reviewer list of my papers, and ... oh, not sure if the very high number of full professors among reviewers should scare me or make me happy... :)
