The Data Systems Lab is seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join our team and work on foundation models for data compression.

Is "citations per faculty" really a good metric for university rankings? Why don't we do "burnouts per publication" instead? Also, please don't cite me on this... :P

According to ChatGPT, we will have a very small ACL this year. chatgpt.com/share/6842a4...

Do you speak Bavarian? Then please consider helping in a thesis research project👇

If you want to spare your "hard-working students" unnecessary rejections, you should not let them submit to venues that do not fit the topic of their work. This is your responsibility as a supervisor, not the fault of the venue's PCs...

About 170 rejects and 40 accepts later, I just need to survive one more round of messages from disappointed authors. By the way, why do authors of accepted papers never write responses to decision notifications? #nlproc #conll2025 @conll-conf.bsky.social

Two days after the meta-review deadline, 1 meta-review missing. Not so bad, eh? #conll2025 #nlproc @conll-conf.bsky.social

One week later, we're still 8 reviews short, but we will make it. Many thanks to our fantastic area chairs and dozens of emergency reviewers! Also: good to hear that @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social is barring irresponsible reviewers from committing their work. Sadly right and necessary. #nlproc #conll2025

Of course, you can call your paper "The Leaderboard Illusion", but that's a bit misleading if it's only about problems with one particular leaderboard (Chatbot Arena). #arxiv

Two days after the review deadline, 120 reviews are missing. Sent invitations to 186 emergency reviewers. About 20 have accepted so far. Organizing a conference is fun. Highly recommended. </sarcasm> #conll2025 @conll-conf.bsky.social

Lots of #nlp / #nlproc work these days is like: we generate synthetic data with GPT-4, fine-tune BERT, and then show that ourBERT performs better than BERT. But what does this really show? Is there anything meaningful that I am missing?

Oh, a rejection email regarding a professor position for which I applied in 2023. I almost forgot about that one. #germanacademia #academictwitter

There are people who, without being asked, suggest themselves as invited speakers for a conference??? 🤯

It's really interesting to see what authors can get wrong when submitting papers: incorrect page sizes, wrong fonts, exceeded page limits, non-anonymized acknowledgements, entirely different paper templates, ...

218 submissions @conll-conf.bsky.social

🚀 Attention #nlproc community! Got a standout *CL paper that has been flying under the radar? Our new non-archival submission track at #conll2025 will give you an extra spotlight. Let your research shine and submit your published paper here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #NLP #ACL2025 #ARR

We found two great invited speakers for this year's CoNLL!

Fun fact: In 2012, I took a truly inspiring class on Coursera called Model Thinking. Almost 13 years later, I am a professor myself and feel honored that @scottepage.bsky.social now follows me on Bluesky! His course is still available—check it out: www.coursera.org/learn/model-...

After moving from X to Bluesky, is now the right time to move from Germany to ... Austria? No wait, ... where to? 😩

I just sent out >600 invitations to reviewers for CoNLL. 12 accepts within 5 minutes. If you did not receive an invitation, please let me know. :P

Hello cloud-free world! I am a professor for Natural Language Understanding and organizer of workshops such as CoMeDi, UnImplicit and LSDSem. Please follow me if you are interested in (comp. models of) language and misunderstandings or updates on CoNLL 2025, which I currently co-chair. #nlp #nlproc
