This year ACL inaugurates the ✨🎓ACL Computational Linguistics Doctoral Dissertation Award! 🎓✨ Instrumental for launching this inaugural prize is the Computational Linguistics Journal @CompLingJournal, with support of the ACL Exec. #CLJournal #ComputationalLinguistics #ACL2025NLP @CompLingJournal

🥳 🎉 ❤️ The ACL 2025 Proceedings are live on the ACL Anthology 🥰 ! We’re thrilled to pre-celebrate the incredible research 📚 ✨ that will be presented starting Monday next week in Vienna 🇦🇹 ! Start exploring 👉 aclanthology.org/events/acl-2... #NLProc #ACL2025NLP #ACLAnthology

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 🙏

ACL Rolling Review and the EMNLP PCs are seeking input on the current state of reviewing for *CL conferences. We would love to get your feedback on the current process and how it could be improved. To contribute your ideas and opinions, please follow this link! forms.office.com/r/P68uvwXYqfemn

Heads up for anyone who missed this: ARR has moved to 5 cycles per year and the EMNLP deadline will be in May.

📢📢 Third and last Call for Papers for the 2nd ClimateNLP Workshop at ACL 2025 📢📢 🗓️ Submission Deadline: March 1st AOE 🚀 We invite short and long papers at the intersection of climate change and NLP 🌍 More info: nlp4climate.github.io

Great job by Hugging Face and Thomas Wolf’s team: The Ultra-Scale Playbook: Training LLMs on GPU Clusters

One of the most interesting new research in the LLM space: introducing Large Language Diffusion Models. arxiv.org/pdf/2502.09992

Wat zou een grotere prioriteit moeten krijgen om LLM’s zoals ChatGPT veilig en betrouwbaar verder te ontwikkelen? Lees het uitgebreide, gemakkelijk te volgen en academische antwoord van @evanmiltenburg.bsky.social op ons initiatief AIHelpdesk: ikhebeenvraagoverai.nl/answers/wat-...

LLMs will have an impact on the field of sociolinguistics. The question is not if, but when and how. If you want to know more, this is a good read!

The National Conference on AI Transformations: Language, Technology, and Society organised by Utrecht University @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social was a success, and indeed Letiția‘s @aicoffeebreak.bsky.social talk was very inspiring.
