[email protected] visited @uni-bamberg.de to present her perspective on #labelvariation in natural language processing. A very inspiring talk, from which our #NLProc groups @bamnlp.de and @bamdial.bsky.social as well as groups working on other modalities learned a lot. Thanks, Barbara!

🚀 We are pleased to announce the First Call for Papers for #WASSA2026 This year, we introduce a Special Track on Multilinguality and Social Bridges between High- & Lesser-Resourced Languages/Communities. 🌍 🗓️ Deadlines: Dec 17 (direct) and Jan 2 (ARR). 🔗 workshop-wassa.github.io/2026/call-fo...

#wassa, one of the most established #nlproc workshops in sentiment, subjectivity, emotions is coming back in 2026. We'd love to see your new work on the topic in Rabat next year.

Received a paper submission invitation from Latticescipub (www.latticescipub.com) – "Article Submission is open ... if ... plagiarism of the article is less than 15%" I somehow like their openness about this issue in their journals. #science #publication #fakescience

If you share #NLProc research interests with me, my conference report for @aclmeeting.bsky.social #ACL2025 might be interesting for you – I highlight the papers that I personally found particularly relevant for our own research. www.romanklinger.de/blog/2025-08...

Happening now: Sean Papay presents his work on CRFs for distant interactions in X5, 223 :-). #xllm #nlproc #acl2025

Keynote by Mark Johnson on the changing role of linguistic structure. #LLM shouldn't work.... #acl2025 #nlproc

Today I am in the XLLM workshop (on linguistic structures and structured modeling), a topic which has been a bit underrepresented in this #acl2025 #nlproc

Happening now, talk to me :-) #nlproc #acl2025

Today and tomorrow: a large number of workshops and colocated conferences. We still have three papers to present. Today I'll present in the poster session in REALM, tomorrow Lynn Greschner presents in BioNLP and Sean Papay in XLLM.

Test of time awards at #acl2025

Review of history of CL and development. #acl2025

The @uni-bamberg.de group at #acl2025 (including @bamnlp.de and @bamdial.bsky.social) #acl2025 #nlproc

Now happening in X5, 95: Johannes Schäfer presenting our work on default demographics in LLMs. #nlproc #acl2025

Now happening: Jiahui Li presents her SRW poster in X5, 218, from the entrance in the left corner. #acl2025 #nlproc

Second keynote in #acl2025 by @verenarieser.bsky.social – focusing on post training by reinforcement learning. #nlproc

This is crazy... #acl2025 #nlproc

The poster session did not even start and it's already huge (this is only one hall). #acl2025 #nlproc

Christopher Bagdon now presents his work on multimodal social media #emotion corpus creation. hall X4, far away from the entrance, stand 375.

Many papers went into this talk by @lukezettlemoyer.bsky.social #acl2025 #nlproc

Now the first invited talk, by @lukezettlemoyer.bsky.social on rethinking pretraining. #acl2025 #nlproc

BTW, has there ever been a conference in which the wifi continued to work when the main conference started? #acl2025

20000 authors! #acl2025

#acl was tiny in 2015. Didn't feel that way at that time. #acl2025

Welcome to the conference. Largest #ACL ever! #nlproc

This is the biggest #ACL I've been to, perhaps the biggest ever. 5400 participants on site, plus online. The reception was crowded, but the first day of the main conference is only tomorrow.

.... And, synthetic data tutorial.... #acl2025

I arrived at #ACL2025 :-). First thing to do: tutorial on human–AI collaboration.

Thanks again for the invitation!

Did I say that I am still fascinated that trains operate across country borders? So many different standards to control trains, different regulations and even different distances of tracks.

I am on my way to Vienna #ACL2025 – looking forward to meeting many friends, and enjoying the time with @bamnlp.de. If you want to talk to me about about psychological concepts, emotions, arguments, structur(ed) learning, or anything else, please approach me. I want to meet new people 😊.

On his way to #ACL2025, Saif Mohammad (x.com/SaifMMohammad) made a stop @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de to give a very inspiring talk on "NLP for Affective Sciences". A recording of the talk is available at youtu.be/LYC6gDJMwac Thanks for visiting us! #NLP #NLProc

Last week, we've been on a retreat to talk about the big picture of our research, research ideas, and synergies between group members – and did some team building. @annefriedrich.bsky.social was our external guest and helped us out of a couple of local optima. Thank you for participating!

We will be at @aclmeeting.bsky.social in #Vienna next week! with some main and workshop papers, and an affinity group meeting. If you want to talk to us, please have a look at the group's schedule. We are looking forward to talking to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch! #NLProc #NLP #ACL2025

✨ The First NLPSI Workshop @ ICWSM 2025 is a wrap! Huge thanks to the speaker (Bennett Kleinberg), authors, reviewers, attendees, and co-organizers (Sofie Labat, Neele Falk, @florplaza.bsky.social, @romanklinger.de & Veronique Hoste) who made it a success. nlpsi-workshop.github.io/highlights/

Today, we had Goran Glavaš from @uni-wuerzburg.de in our research seminar for a talk "On Multilingual Abilities of (Different Types of) Language Models" at @bamnlp.de @uni-bamberg.de Thanks for visiting us, Goran!

Our @bamnlp.de group at @uni-bamberg.de starts to generate output :-). Let's meet in Vienna!

I'll give a talk this Thursday at 5:45 at Universität zu Köln: "Adapting Language Models for the Analysis of Real World Textual Data – Train the model, change the prompt, or adapt the data?" – the talk is based on aclanthology.org/2025.coling-... and arxiv.org/abs/2412.11653 #NLProc

We (@csindermann.bsky.social and @romanklinger.de) prepare project to develop a novel annotation/data acquisition platform. To understand limitations of current systems, we could use your help. If your research involves collecting data, could you fill this form? tinyurl.com/annotation20... Thanks!

Are you interested to dive deeper into bridging #psychology and natural language processing #nlproc? We are organizing a new workshop (collocated with icwsm.org in Copenhagen, taking place on June 23. Paper deadline is March 21st. More information: nlpsi-workshop.github.io

Choose-a-chair fair at the computer science faculty @uni-bamberg.de – we presented our courses and theses topics to our students (with Sean Papay, @multilingual-s.bsky.social and @romanklinger.de).

I'll give a talk at the @fau.de in Erlangen this Thursday (2025–01–30, 16:15h; www.linguistik.phil.fau.de/2025/01/22/v...). I'll talk about studies in which we collected data for building #NLP #NLPproc models via psychology(-inspired) data acquisition methods (for emotions, coping, deception).

Got a 4 in ACL Rolling Review from the Action Editor, committed to @naaclmeeting.bsky.social – and got a rejection. This process is frustrating. I want to go back to conference-level reviewing and decisions... I like the revise/resubmit idea, but this way it's more random than before... #nlp #nlproc

Are you at #COLING2025? Come visit our poster presented by Yarik Menchaca Resendiz on "MOPO: Multi-Objective Prompt Optimization for Affective Text Generation". (Fri, Jan 24 13:30-15:00) #NLP #nlproc #prompts #llm #emotions

9 more days until application deadline

The @bamnlp.de group wishes everybody nice holidays. 🎄

Have a look at our new #preprint on our work on human-in-the-loop prompt optimization. It's a preprint of a demo paper describing our experiment environment that we use in the @dfgpublic.bsky.social funded project INPROMPT. #nlp #nlproc

New #preprint by @nlp-amelie.bsky.social and @romanklinger.de on automatically optimizing a claim paraphrased/extractor with preference optimization, such that the claims can be better fact-checked. #nlp #nlproc
