New opinion paper out with Esther Ploeger (Aalborg University): We Need to Measure Data Diversity in NLP — Better and Broader at #EMNLP2025 (main) aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-m...

How do language models memorize noise while reason impressively well? Our #EMNLP2025 (poster, Nov 5, 11:00-12:30, Hall C) paper shows that memorization reuses internal mechanisms of generalization, even when they are not related to each other! arxiv.org/abs/2507.04782

Congrats Anna!! 🎉

Please share! We have a number of fully funded PhD studentships in "Designing Responsible Natural Language Processing". I'm a possible supervisor & I'd be keen to support projects on sociolinguistics-AI, e.g., accent bias in AI, language+gender/sexuality+AI. www.responsiblenlp.org

Now that school is starting for lots of folks, it's time for a new release of Speech and Language Processing! Jim and I added all sorts of material for the August 2025 release! With slides to match! Check it out here: web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/sl...

together with some Utrecht NLP people at ACL 2025! #acl2025 #acl2025NLP

Wanna do some authorship attribution? Chances are what tokenizer you use matters. Tokenization is Sensitive to Language Variation, probably, more investigation necessary... 📄 ACL Findings paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.15343 🧑‍🏫 @dongng.bsky.social @davidjurgens.bsky.social and myself See you at ACL!

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone. So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment. It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/ expertvoicestogether.org

I wrote down some thoughts about what sociolinguistics can contribute to LLMs and vice versa, now available dx.doi.org/10.1111/lnc3...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Are you a pre-doctoral student interested in language technologies, especially focusing on safe, fair and inclusive AI? Our Summer 2025 Language Technology for All Internship could be a great fit. See the link below for more info, and to apply: lti.cs.cmu.edu/news-and-eve...

Congratulations to dr. Qixiang Fang for successfully defending his impressive thesis on "Leveraging Measurement Theory for Natural Language Processing Research" -- the first PhD student I advised from start to finish. It was an honor to be part of the journey. research-portal.uu.nl/en/publicati...

I'm looking for a PhD student for a new big project on "Data Diversity for Fair and Robust NLP" (📅 Jan 5!) www.uu.nl/en/organisat... #nlproc #nlp
