arxiv.org/abs/2605.22705 arxiv.org/abs/2605.22821 Happy Linear Programming for Tokenization day! I was involved with two separate papers that hit ArXiv yesterday, using LP's to find the vocabulary maximizing compression, depending on the kind of inference you want to use.

I'm looking for a reviewer for a paper on measuring syntactic productivity (lots of maths!) due a week from now. Please shoot me an email if you could review!

Just realized that upon graduating, my university publishes my dissertation to ProQuest but then I immediately lose access to ProQuest lol. Feels very symbolic.

I defended last month, attended NAACL, spent some time in Japan, and now I am looking forward to joining Kensho as a research scientist next month!

I'm giving a lecture on language model debiasing to my undergrad NLP course on Friday but I'm not super up to date on the research. Does anyone have any suggestions for papers/topics to cover?

That feeling when a single \small makes your paper exactly 8 pages.

What do you consider to be the sota LLM for massively multilingual NLP? Does it heavily depend on language/task/domain?

I recall some years ago people started calling pretraining tasks (like causal language modeling) self-supervised. I am not sure if anyone uses this term anymore -- is that because we just assume pretraining == next token prediction? What do we call it now?

Why do so many job applications require you to fill out today's date? The form is literally being processed on a today's-date-tracking-machine

I learn so much from reviewing, it’s the papers I review that I keep coming back to for my own ideas and citations. They broaden and deepen my view on the field. Let’s give it the time it deserves.

Here is a list of ML OSS & Open Source / Science enthusiasts I found on Bluesky 🦋 go.bsky.app/8MFcfXd Let me know if you find such people here! I'm still new here and probably the list misses many must-add people, so let's built it together💪

Trying to put together a list of multilingual* NLP people. If you want to be added, let me know! bsky.app/profile/did:... *Also, what do we call this intersection of multilingual and crosslingual research? I hate it when people say multilingual NLP to mean NLP for a non-English language.

It was great meeting some new researchers in Miami #EMNLP2024

If you're still at #EMNLP2024 check out this work by first year PhD student @rohan-das.bsky.social. Our main idea is to look at media framing through the chains of events they choose to highlight
