good initiative but... "Note that accepted authors should still plan to present their papers at NeurIPS, with an additional presentation at EurIPS if desired" nothing screams "inclusion" than: "congrats on your paper, now register twice" - who is this for? people that can teleport or rich labs?

getting rejected by a llm must be brutal

i am confused with the (new?) #ARR "point system" (a la Black mirror "Nosedive"). does the "add great review" button/comment replace the existing acknowledgement in the meta-review form or are they complementary or something else? @aclrollingreview.bsky.social #NLProc

Has there been a legal case yet to set legal precedent about whether companies are responsible for when their LLMs hallucinate dangerous lies yet? I would 100% sue if I were these guys

🟥 CALL FOR A NATIONAL STRIKE - June 10 🟥 A week ago, we stood together on the Vrijthof to defend our universities. On Friday, the cabinet announced its plans to cut another 400 million a year from primary and secondary education. Yesterday, the minister confirmed he will force universities...

At @maastrichtu.bsky.social we on strike today to protest destructive cuts of more than 1 billion euro that impact research, teaching and our position as border region university. #WOinACTIE #DefendMaastrichtUniversity #KabinetSlooptHogerOnderwijs #StakingHO supportscienceandeducation.com

A thread: We know a lot of colleagues and students still doubting to strike. Here is why it matters: Imagine a long row of dominoes, perfectly aligned. The first one stands at the edge – seemingly insignificant on its own. But once it falls, a chain reaction becomes inevitable.

nobody talks enough about this under-rated Outlook feature #academiclife

🚨HUGE: The European Commission has withdrawn the AI Liability Directive. "No foreseeable agreement - the Commission will assess whether another proposal should be tabled or another type of approach should be chosen." commission.europa.eu/publications...

okay, who is gonna tell the commission that linear or logistic regression are not optimization methods?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

It was fun discussing the TikTok ban with such a big group of brilliant UM students and staff! Thanks to the Law & Popular Culture Research Network for the invitation ❤️

What does DeepSeek do that ChatGPT can't? Not a lot, it seems - unless you like it bumping up against Chinese state-mandated guardrails. My latest for @thetimes.com, online now and in tomorrow's Times2 www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

Nice article by @stokel.bsky.social where I also remind people about "open-washing" in the LLM era. While DeepSeek-R1 is imperssively efficient, we have no info (or access) to the data is has been trained on, therefore difficult to assess its true potential.

The Illustrated DeepSeek-R1 Spent the weekend reading the paper and sorting through the intuitions. Here's a visual guide and the main intuitions to understand the model and the process that created it. newsletter.languagemodels.co/p/the-illust...

🤔 Quite a provocative read from #COLING2025: "Is peer-reviewing worth the effort?" TL;DR: #NLP A* venue ≠ Citations ≠ Quality. Could early citations (e.g., on ArXiv) + a nomination process fix peer-review scalability? 📎 Read more: aclanthology.org/2025.coling-...
