I have just returned from a week-long visit to Bielefeld University! Thank you very much for hosting me Sina Zarrieß and @ozgealacam.bsky.social 😊 @clausebielefeld.bsky.social

This week we’re having @ecekt.bsky.social as our guest in Bielefeld. She gave a highly timely talk on language+vision models, how they process images under noise conditions, and about how to train a highly effective multimodal BabyLM with model merging. 🗣️👀💻

Photos from the Computational Psycholinguistics Meeting in Utrecht, many thanks to everyone who joined us in making this a memorable event! ✨

The CfP for CMCL is out!🌴 We are looking forward to receiving many interesting submissions! ✨ (Deadline: February 25, 2026) sites.google.com/view/cmclwor...

Many thanks to @dnliu.bsky.social for inviting me, and to the members of the group for their insightful questions! 😊✨

The program of the Computational Psycholinguistics Meeting 2025 at Utrecht University is out, packed with a lot of very interesting talks! The registration is full, but there is a waiting list, if you would like to attend✨ cpl2025.sites.uu.nl/schedule/

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

I was in Sweden this week! 🇸🇪❄️ Many thanks to Nikolai Ilinykh for inviting me to give a talk at the University of Gothenburg. I enjoyed having inspiring chats and delicious food with Sharid Loáiciga, @asayeed.bsky.social, Simon Dobnik, Hyewon Jang and Chris Howes at CLASP. Much appreciated! 😊🎄

I will be attending EMNLP in China to present our paper with @bylinina.bsky.social (who will be in China, too) and Jakub Dotlacil in the BabyLM workshop! Looking forward to meeting people there! ✨ 😊 #EMNLP2025 @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social lnkd.in/e-Bzz6De

Just got back from Hawaii, where I presented a workshop paper on image memorability at @iccv.bsky.social 🌺 Coming from multimodal NLP, it was my first time attending a CV conference. Everywhere I looked, there were talks and posters that were incredibly interesting!

🌍Introducing BabyBabelLM: A Multilingual Benchmark of Developmentally Plausible Training Data! LLMs learn from vastly more data than humans ever experience. BabyLM challenges this paradigm by focusing on developmentally plausible data We extend this effort to 45 new languages!

What makes an image memorable? And can we predict image memorability using pretrained vision encoders? We explored activations, attention distributions, image patch uniformity and sparse autoencoder losses using image representations across the layers of CLIP, DINOv2 and SigLIP2.

Hi all, there is a postdoc position open in the group I'm currently based in! ✨ Let me know if you are interested or have questions 🙂 Please share if you know someone who might be interested www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

Felix Hill was such an incredible mentor — and occasional cold water swimming partner — to me. He's a huge part of why I joined DeepMind and how I've come to approach research. Even a month later, it's still hard to believe he's gone.

Today celebrating Dr. @jumelet.bsky.social who successfully defended his PhD thesis! 🥳👨‍🎓It was great witnessing his amazing research trajectory. Lucky to have had such a friendly and inspirational colleague!✨📸
