I'm not @ #acl2024nlp , but if you are & like cognitively plausible modes of lang. processing, check out Patrick Kahardipraja 's poster on Tuesday. Follow-up work (with @brimadu) on his master's thesis! It's also his first large conference, so go and say hello! x.com/pkhdipraja/sta…

Time to accept we didn't manage to pull hybrid conferences off. But travel must still be reduced, no way around it. So how about having 1 big fully virtual conference / year? Live presentations, live chat rooms, no underline or 8bit avatar bullshit. ACL 2025 #ACL2024NLP

I just accidentally downloaded the full proceedings of #acl2024nlp — all 1.6 GB of them. I’m old enough to remember reading (well, looking at) every single paper in an ACL proceedings volume. (When it used to be a printed, telephone-book sized physical entity.)

You have to admire the dedication to the bit. They even went ahead and created a website and actual fake papers. Just to make a satirical point about what AI as a research field has become.

"Reflection-Llama-3.1-70B" got first attention then frustration regarding the validity of the results. We benchmarked it with clembench and compared against stock model: Reflection-Llama-3.1-70B - 17/100 Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct - 39/100 It got worse.

The SIGdial 2024 proceedings can now be found on the ACL Anthology 🎉 So many fantastic papers: aclanthology.org/volumes/2024.s… And if you are sharing your papers here, make sure to tag us SIGdial so we can repost it too! #SIGdial #SIGdial2024 ACL Anthology

Does anyone know how to get the HELM and Arena rankings in a machine readable format (and ideally, programmatically)? #lazyweb #LLMs

Meta following Apple’s playbook?

I see another area is getting the treatment. (I was there for dialogue systems being discovered (in the way America was discovered).)

Bob Dylan getting the Nobel Prize in Literature really paved the way for Geoff Hinton getting the Nobel Prize in Physics.
