#LREC2026 🌴🇪🇸 continues with day 1 of the main conference. @ufal.mff.cuni.cz folks will present 5 papers: From annotating medieval manuscripts to auditing LLM hallucinations: Prague NLP is everywhere 🚀

🔸 🔶 Petr Sgall was a pioneer who saw the future of NLP long before the age of LLMs 🔶 🔸 As we mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, Eva Hajičová and Jarmila Panevová have shared a brilliant tribute to his life and work. 🔗 Read the full tribute here: www.matfyz.cz/clanky/ste-v...

#LREC2026 starts in a couple of hours and @ufal.mff.cuni.cz folks are there to present their research. 🤩 Don't miss the panel discussion with @hajicjan.bsky.social on the role of symbolic representations in the era of LLMs. And check out our posters and talks 👇

Exciting news for our team! 🚀 The results for @ACL 2026 are out, and we are thrilled to announce that at least 3 papers from ÚFAL (Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics) will be presented in San Diego in July! 🔗https://2026.aclweb.org/

Let us introduce one of our partners, the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences (AV ČR) and their Czech Historical Database project (biblio.hiu.cas.cz) 📺 Watch the video: youtube.com/shorts/wngjX... (turn on the English subtitles in the ... menu). . youtube.com/shorts/wngjX...

New preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2603.20133 Does performance on reasoning benchmarks transfer to real-world settings such as task-oriented dialogue? Not necessarily: our new benchmark tests LLMs on problems framed in both standalone and dialogue settings, and shows that dialogue makes reasoning harder.

#EACL2026 in Rabat 🇲🇦 starts tomorrow and @ufal.mff.cuni.cz folks will present their research. Don't miss our presentations 👇

New work from our team on morphology-aware tokenization evaluation, accepted to EACL 2026 Findings.

If you think labeling text spans with LLMs is easy, you probably have not tried it yourself (we have! 🙃). Any method you can think of – be it tagging, matching, or indexing – has flaws. In our new preprint, we tested them all 💪We also proposed how to improve one of them. arxiv.org/abs/2601.16946

Ondrej Bojar on prompt dilution and the role of red team in deep learning models, processes essential for understanding why AI models sometimes bypass safety guardrails, and how to mprove their robustness. Watch here (in Czech): 🔗 www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/10969...

🍻 We asked around the office what "UFAL" means to them. A mix of academic rigor, hard work, family atmosphere, a great cup of coffee, or a unique team. Whether we are discussing NLP over beer or collaborating on a multi-generational project, the spirit of UFAL is all about community. Happy 2026! 👇

The EU's 🇪🇺 HPLT project, coordinated by @ufal.mff.cuni.cz is at #EMNLP2025! It has supported it as a silver sponsor, disseminating HPLT results from our booth and through several papers. We'll continue to shape the future of multilingual datasets and models here and in @openeurollm.bsky.social!

Excited to share our work at #EMNLP2025! Our team is presenting 12 papers across the main conference and workshops, covering multilingual NLG, LLM agents, coreference resolution, and machine translation. A thread with highlights 🧵👇

With @andrei-a-manea.bsky.social, we posted a survey on multilingual vision-language models 👉 arxiv.org/pdf/2509.22123 We reviewed 31 models+21 benchmarks. There's a tension between language neutrality (same results across languages) & cultural awareness (context matters differently across cultures)
