Hi all, we are still looking for responses on our survey regarding names and name changing. Please spread the word about the survey!

@pranav-nlp.bsky.social and I are surveying researchers about naming and name changes in academia (especially computer science). If your academic name is / has been / might someday be different from other names you've used, please tell us about it here: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/E0XXBmZdEP

Please take 5-10 minutes to fill out this survey!

Most people who’ve known me more than 30 minutes will have heard me rant about how AI for social good is a corporate branding attempt at excusing AI. But the fact that the AI for Good summit censored @abeba.bsky.social is beyond disgraceful. thebulletin.org/2025/07/ai-f...

Now out in Nature: we analyzed 19,000 computer vision papers and the 20,000+ patents citing them and found that most CV papers are used in surveillance enabling CV patents. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Come talk to me about all things censorship / moderation on TikTok (and more generally algorithmic bias) #icwsm

Flattered and shocked for our paper to receive the #facct2025 best paper award.

I am at the data story workshop hosted by @martinmundt.bsky.social where we talk about AI as cake! We redefine Yann LeCun's famous analogy beyond just learning types. From ingredients to selling - we break down how AI really works and who gets left out.

This has happened to me so many times. I got assigned 6 papers to review within 3 days, and received threats from PC and AC that I would be flagged if I don't complete them properly. And after all this stress, I found out that each paper has received 5-6 reviews. So angry and upset with ARR rn.

If you were ever curious about the timeline of name changes as a Canadian immigrant in Germany, here's my data spanning 2 years for just the most important stuff. This does not include everywhere else I had to change my name, i.e., phone companies in Germany and Canada, public transit apps,

@pranav-nlp.bsky.social is speaking at the @i2sc.net about how seemingly neutral policies can cause harm when developed without input from marginalized communities, with examples from the AI Act and name change policies in academia

. @lgrobol.eu and I finally got our pronouns/neopronouns modeling paper up on arxiv ahead of NAACL! We conceptualize pronoun as speaker priors on the flexibility of pronoun use depending on community norms. Let us know your thoughts! arxiv.org/abs/2504.02973

I’m currently forced to prepare a presentation in a given MS Powerpoint template, and words can’t describe how hilariously terrible the experience is. Completely impossible to paste text and tables from another document without the styling being all over the place, and no obvious way to fix it.

Don't be so fucking entitled on ACL Anthology issues challenge, impossible

NIST has issued new instructions to scientists that partner with the US Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) that eliminate mention of 'AI safety,' 'responsible AI,' and 'AI fairness' in order to reduce 'ideological bias, to enable human flourishing and economic competitiveness.'
