🎉 We are happy to announce that the Data Science Lab Hamburg has 4 papers accepted at the #acl2024 in Bangkok🇹🇭! Katia Shutova Anne Lauscher (she/her) Carolin Holtermann Markus Frohmann Manuel Lardelli (he/him) Giuseppe Attanasio Paul Röttger

I‘ll be presenting this paper as a poster at #NAACL2024 today in an hour, from 11:00 to 12:30. Come by to discuss hatespeechXadversarial data collection!

This week at our Institutsversammlung, Neele Falk presented the First Shared Task on Perspective Argument Retrieval! 🎉 This task is organized in collaboration with Andreas Waldis and Prof. Iryna Gurevych from the University of Luzern / UKP Lab. #NLProc UKP Lab #argumentmining

Excited to guide you through some OOD wilderness 🐆 Find me at 12. Aug 16:30 (poster) and 14. Aug 10:30 (talk, Ballroom A) #ACL2024NLP! I am also happy to chat about argument mining, bias, linguistic competence, or non-NLP stuff and just grab a drink - just hit me up! :)

📢 The first shared task on Perspective Argument Retrieval is over! Congrats to the winners and all teams for tackling the challenge🎉 Take-home message? We need to teach LMs to grasp the argumentation nuances of different demographic groups! (1/2) 📄arxiv.org/abs/2407.19670

📢I'm in Bangkok this week attending #ACL2024NLP , looking forward to giving the invited talk at #ArgMining2024 on "Reconstructing Fallacies in Misrepresented Science and Argument Mining in the Wild" on August 15th!

See you in the poster session 3 at 4pm! 🐆

Meet our fellow researchers representing UKP Lab at this year's @ACLmeeting: Iryna Gurevych, Qian Ruan, Justus-Jonas Erker 🇪🇺 @ ACL2024 🇹🇭, Indraneil Paul, Fengyu Cai, Sheng Lu, Haishuo, Furkan Şahinuç, Kexin Wang, Li Haau-Sing, Andreas Waldis, and a very special guest from BathNLP, @Harish! #ACL2024NLP

It was a pleasure to present our work yesterday and I'm curious to talk about it tomorrow at 10:30 (Ballroom A). Huge thanks to Yufang Hou Iryna Gurevych for the great collaboration!! 🙌 x.com/UKPLab/status/…

🙌Eager to hear the talk!! Happening at 2 pm (Lotus Suite 12)

This will be a cool workshop at #ACL2024, hope to see many of you there tomorrow!

Great to see collaborators talking about your work 🙌 Yufang Hou Argument Mining

I had a great time talking about our shared task. Kudos to Argument Mining organizer and our participants🙏 Lessons learned for the future: 💠Keep tasks simple. 💠Communication is crucial and takes time. 💠Try to find dataset flaws or participants do. x.com/UKPLab/status/…

Congratulations to Dr. Neele Falk for successfully defending her PhD. 🥳🥳🥳 #nlproc #NLP #argmining Gabriella Lapesa Check out her amazing work here: aclanthology.org/people/n/neele… ims.uni-stuttgart.de/institut/team/…

📢 10 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted for publication at #EMNLP2024 in Miami! 🇺🇸 And 2 papers from CL and TACL will be presented at the conference 🎉 Congratulations to everyone involved! 💐 – be sure to check them out in this thread (1/🧵):

LOU is finally out 🎉 Great teamwork focusing on how LMs process gender-fair language differently. More details about LOU at #EMNLP2024, in the pre-print or the audio summary (you need a grain of salt!!) 📄arxiv.org/abs/2409.17929 🗣️audio.com/andreas-waldis… x.com/UKPLab/status/…

📢 Excited to share that I'm joining IT:U-Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria (IT:U Interdisciplinary Transformation University) as a founding professor for NLP starting in November! After an incredible 9 years at IBM Research and 2.5 years at UKP Lab, I'm eager to embark on this new adventure.

Thanks to many people who helped with that project, especially Anne Lauscher (she/her) and Iryna Gurevych, for the great collaboration!! Happy to chat at #EMNLP2024, and in the meantime, listen to the podcast-ish version of the paper 🗣️ audio.com/andreas-waldis…

Woohoo 🥳Meet Holmes at #EMNLP2024 Interested in the linguistic competence of LMs and how it contrasts with their linguistic performance? Happy to chat and/or grab a drink!! Also, two of the amazing co-authors are around Yufang Hou Leshem Choshen 🤖🤗

Limited annotation budget for stance detection? Our recipe🍲: 💠Reduce ~90% of the annotation effort and retain ~95% of the performance 🤯 💠Cover more topics for a performance boost of up to 4pp 🔥 Learn more in our #EMNLP2024 paper! 📰arxiv.org/abs/2205.11472 (1/🧵)
