Announcing 4 keynote speakers for #INLG2025! Verena Rieser (Google DeepMind) Hadas Kotek (Apple) Minlie Huang (黄民烈; Tsinghua University) Mike White (Ohio State University) It's shaping up to be a great conference! Don't forget to submit by 14 July AoE: 2025.inlgmeeting.org

I guess that now that I have 1% of my Twitter followers follow me here 😅, I should announce it here too for those of you no longer checking Twitter: my nonfiction book, "Lost in Automatic Translation" is coming out this July: lostinautomatictranslation.com. I'm very excited to share it with you!

A bit of a mess around the conflict of COLM with the ARR (and to lesser degree ICML) reviews release. We feel this is creating a lot of pressure and uncertainty. So, we are pushing our deadlines: Abstracts due March 22 AoE (+48hr) Full papers due March 28 AoE (+24hr) Plz RT 🙏

It was an absolute pleasure hosting the talented @taylor-sorensen.bsky.social as a student researcher at the London DeepMind office. Check out the cool work which came out of this collaboration
