Eval4NLP23 has concluded. We thank everyone + congratulate our shared task winners on inducing high-quality metrics for MT+summ. using prompting and efficient models: "HIT-MI&T Lab" (even beating GEMBA + COMET🚀) & "DSBA". Shared task overview paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2310.19792…

🌟 Exciting times ahead! The NLLG group is now part of #UniMannheim, working with miraculous Simone Ponzetto and the rest of the wonderful Data and Web Science Group group. Can't wait to see what we cook up together — it's definitely more than just coffee! ☕😉🚀

👉 We're hiring! PhD (fully funded, 3 ys) on interplay between argumentation & emotion in EMCONA project, jointly led by Steffen Eger and Roman Klinger. Student supervised by Steffen Eger will (ao) work on convincing argument generation. Deadline: 01/28 Link:euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/186342

🥳 Our paper "AutomaTikZ" has been accepted to #iclr2024! Our best model (CLiMA) can take natural language descriptions as input and turn them into scientific vector graphics by leveraging TikZ! (1/2) Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2310.00367 Code: github.com/potamides/Auto…

📢📢 Tomorrow, Jonas Belouadi will present our text-to-text generation paper AutomaTikZ at #ICLR2024 in #Vienna. Don't miss our poster in Hall B 10:45-12:45 CET!

Another awesome work of Jonas Belouadi

🚀🚀🚀 We're happy to announce that we have 4/4 main papers accepted at #EMNLP2024!! +1 CL journal paper to be presented at EMNLP. Congrats to all co-authors, including Daniil Larionov, @chrleiter, cyr, Aida Kostikova, RZhang + @bpaassen1, Sina Zarrieß, Gregor Wiedemann | @[email protected]

📢📢📢📢 We're very happy to announce that #detikzify has been accepted as at #neurips2024 spotlight! github.com/potamides/DeTi… Congrats to Jonas Belouadi, Simone Ponzetto and Steffen Eger !! 🚀🚀🚀

With a bit of delay, I am happy to announce a major career update: I am now Full Professor at Technische Universität Nürnberg, leading the Natural Language Learning & Generation (NLLG) lab. Very excited to be part of a new aspiring AI research team+environment!

📢📢📢The NLLG lab has three new open fully funded PhD positions: 1⃣ - Next Generation LLMs 2⃣ - NLP for Science 3⃣ - Multimodal evaluation metrics Deadlines: End of October ℹ️More information: nl2g.github.io/positions

📢📢 There are two #NeurIPS2024 presentations from us this week: 1⃣ DeTikZify by Jonas Belouadi on Th, Dec 12, 4:30 p.m. PST -- Poster Session 4 East ; nips.cc/virtual/2024/p… 2⃣ Explainable MT metrics by Christoph Leiter on Fri, Dec 13, 4:30 p.m. PST ; nips.cc/virtual/2024/p…

Not a promo tweet, just sharing my joy🎉 My very first last-author paper, ScImage, has been accepted to #ICLR2025 ! 🥳 with my amazing first-batch PhD student, Yinjie, who’s so fresh and don’t even have an X account yet. 😂 Big thanks to my incredible collaborator Steffen Eger

📢📢 3/3 new accepted papers: (1) ScImage, a text-image benchmark for the science domain #ICLR2025, (2) LITEVAL-Corpus, a benchmark for assessing the quality of LLMs for literary translation #NAACL2025 , (3) PromptOptMe, a technique for prompt compression for MT eval #NAACL2025

Our new survey on how LLMs/AI can transform science is out as a preprint 👇 x.com/omarsar0/statu…

How nice 🥳🎉 - we got an outstanding paper at #naacl2025 with our paper on literary translation (evaluation) with LLMs aclanthology.org/2025.naacl-lon…. Congrats to RZhang Wei Zhao Steffen Eger

We're delighted to host Steffen Eger for an insightful talk on "Multimodal Scientific Content Generation with LLMs", covering tools like AutomaTikz, DeTikZify, and ScImage that aim to automate and enhance scientific figure generation🤖📚

come join us for exciting Postdoc/PhD positions at the intersection of NLP & social science in a great environment with three universities and three supervisors - Mannheim, Nürnberg, Frankfurt: x.com/NLLG_lab/statu…

Two more days left to apply 👇👇 x.com/NLLG_lab/statu…

📢🔊 Today, cyr will give her poster at #ACL2025 on the question "Do Emotions Really Affect Argument Convincingness?" using "A Dynamic Approach with LLM-based Manipulation Checks". Feel free to pass by and have a chat. 18:00-19:30 Poster Session, Location: Hall X4 X5
