Almost 2000 days streak but this might just make me quit, yikes

Spotted in a reference list: correct title and journal info or arxiv ID, authors list is just "anonymous", is this a hallucitation or what's going on? Anyone seen this before?

📢⚠️ IMPORTANT DATE CORRECTION: the ARR deadline for EACL 2027 is Aug 3, 2026 (not Aug 6 as previously announced). EACL is earlier than usual in '27, so this is the only viable ARR cycle! 📚 All areas of CL/NLP + related fields welcome. Full CfP coming soon. #NLProc #EACL2027

Attention #NLProc researchers, the EACL 2027 website is officially LIVE: 2027.eacl.org! 🎉 🇬🇷 Join us in Athens, Greece (Mar 9-13, 2027) at #EACL2027 📅 ARR submission deadline: Aug 6, 2026. Open to all areas of CL/NLP + related fields. Stay tuned for the detailed CfP soon!

found a typo in my file directory for a lecture I've been teaching for, checks notes, 4 years. How is your day going?

Our group trying to figure out who to register in phase 1 of ACL 2026

BPE-knockout just got outperformed by an algorithm that modifies BPE tokenisers in a feedback loop to make them absorb more and more constraints. It doesn't even need more data to do that. It uses the tokeniser itself as a dataset. 🧵

If you're reviewing ARR papers and want a tool to help you spot potential hallucinated references, I cooked this up for the ACL SACs and thought I would share it with the broader community github.com/davidjurgens...

LAGoM will present several papers at #EACL2026 in Rabat next week! Our work at this year’s conference spans tokenisation, multilingual evaluation, and model design.

📢I'm organizing a BoF session at #EACL2026 called Tokenization & Beyond, aiming to gather researchers exploring tokenization and alternatives such as byte-level and pixel-based approaches. Sign up using the form if you're interested! #NLProc @eaclmeeting.bsky.social

📣DEADLINE EXTENDED!📣 Need a few more days to perfect your paper for #EAMT2026? You got it. We have pushed the submission deadline back! 🗓️ New Deadline: 25th March 2026 23:59 CEST Breathe, revise, and submit: easychair.org/my/conferenc... And don't forget to anonymize your paper 👀🕵️‍♀️

⏳ ONE WEEK LEFT! The #EAMT2026 submission deadline is closing next Wednesday (March 18). Whether it's a deep-dive into LLM evaluations, low-resource MT, or a new user study, we want to see it. Let’s get those papers in! 🏃‍♂️💨 🔗 Submission info here: eamt2026.org/calls-for-pa... 👇

i'm doing it - i'm writing an MT proposal 👀

good morning to you and to my ACs who submitted all their meta-reviews before the deadline

Hi #NLP Bluesky, the Multilinguality track at #ACL2026NLP @aclmeeting.bsky.social needs emergency reviewers. If you can complete one or two reviews before February 15, please reach out. Thank you!

📢 I am hiring a highly-motivated Ph.D student at the University of Copenhagen to work on tokenization-free NLP. Read our previous work in this topic: aclanthology.org/2025.emnlp-m... aclanthology.org/2023.emnlp-m... openreview.net/forum?id=FkS... Apply by March 8: employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=1563

New EACL paper (with @mdlhx.bsky.social)! We tested if comparing perplexity of parallel data across languages is fair. Turns out: it depends. We show the choice of test set (even with consistent meaning) can flip conclusions about which language is easier to model. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2601.10580

Today, the ACL Anthology switched to a new system for how author pages work. From now on, ORCID iDs will be the main mechanism for matching papers to the correct author. 🧵⤵️

Reminder that we have an alt-ARR slack workspace where ACs and SACs can support each other through the sometimes confusing process of the ARR cycle! Post or DM me a good email address for a Slack invitation and I will add you. #ACL2026

🎶 TACL is a farce 🎵 ty for your attention, i will not be taking any questions at this point

When is a language hard to model? Previous research has suggested that morphological complexity both does and does not play a role, but it does so by relating the performance of language models to corpus statistics of words or subword tokens in isolation.

I sadly won't attend #ACL2025 but my PhD student Thomas Bauwens and former master student Elke Vandermeerschen will present their work - check it out!

Is this ARR May cycle particularly bad or did I just get extremely unlucky with at least one AC not doing anything at all (and they are assigned 14 submissions) and 3 being largely unresponsive? This results in 26/55 submissions missing a meta-review, in spite of having already 10 with emergency ACs
