We are really delighted to have hosted Joe Stacey from Imperial, who gave a talk on "Atom-based Approaches to Creating Interpretable NLI Models" at the Manchester NLP Seminar on Chinese New Year's Day 🎊🍻🎋

1/n Excited to announce our new paper "Does Table Source Matter? Improving Scientific Multimodal Table Understanding and Reasoning Ability"! arxiv.org/abs/2501.13042

A preprint of my book Natural Language Generation is now available on Arxiv (arxiv.org/abs/2502.14437). Use the PDF, the HTML version is incomplete. For more info on my book see ehudreiter.com/book/ . Note it is about NLG concepts, its not about the latest LLM tech

With over 80 participating teams in the 1st and 2nd editions of our shared task, we are now introducing an additional *multi-modal* lay summarisation task in the 3rd edition for generating lay radiology reports. Check it out!

🚀 Reminder! 🚀 The deadline for the Postdoc in Uncertainty Quantification for Foundation Models at @sheffieldNLP with Nafise Sadat Moosavi Benjamin Heinzerling Kentaro Inui / 乾健太郎 is March 2nd—just a few days left! 🗓️ 📆 Initial contract: 12 months (with a possibility of an additional 2-year extension)

An absolute pleasure to host Prof. Neil Lawrence (Neil Lawrence) for a fascinating (and mind-bending) departmental seminar on “Information Engines: Exploring Connections Between Intelligence and Thermodynamics” — where entropy meets intelligence

Check out our work on ContrastScore: a new contrastive metric that evaluates generated text by leveraging structured disagreement between two language models of different capacities -- not only achieving more accurate and robust evaluation, but also greater efficiency

[1/n] Delighted to share our new work "COIG-P: A High-Quality and Large-Scale Chinese Preference Dataset for Alignment with Human Values". Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05535 HF Daily Paper: huggingface.co/papers/2504.05… Code: github.com/multimodal-art… Data: huggingface.co/collections/m-…

Very proud that Tomas Goldsack passed his PhD viva with minor corrections today! 🎉 His PhD focuses on generating lay summaries of complex content for non-expert audiences. Many thanks to Carolina Scarton (co-supervisor) and to the panel members Diana Maynard and Stuart E Middleton!

If you are attending #NAACL2025 in Albuquerque, check out the papers from @manchester_nlp !🤠🍻🍹

Another proud moment: Shun (SWang) has successfully defended his thesis “Interpretable Computational Metaphor Processing”! He produced an impressive body of work in *ACL during his PhD. Big thanks to co-supervisor Po Yang, and to panel members Rob Gaizauskas and Scott Piao🍻🥳
