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

Some pretty cool topics, in my unbiased opinion, with a pretty cool supervisor 😎

🎶 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'm conducting research on how ACL's peer review policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. I am running a survey, which would take around 7-10 mins to complete: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/j2jr9nH3X0 I would really appreciate insights from y'all!

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?
