My colleagues and I are accepting applications for PhD students at Yale. If you think you would be a good fit, consider applying! Most of my research is about bridging the divide between linguistics and artificial intelligence (often connecting to CogSci & large language models)

Elated to share that I've been named a K&L Gates Presidential Fellow🔥 And..I’m on the academic job market! I tackle problems in the intersection of NLP, AI Ethics, and computational social science. See my website for my CV, research statement, and more chan0park.github.io🧵

✨I am hiring PhD students Rutgers Computer Science Department for Fall 2024!✨ If you are interested in working with me on Responsible AI at Rutgers, you can read more at: sharonlevy.github.io/prospective/ Also, if you are attending EMNLP and would like to chat about this, please reach out!

In Text Rendering Strategies for Pixel Language Models with Jonas Færch Lotz Phillip Rust and Elizabeth Salesky, we design new text renderers for visual language processing to improve performance or to squeeze the model down to just 22M parameters. See it in Poster Session 2 on Friday 8th.

🚨New machine translation dataset alert! 🚨We expanded the language coverage of WMT24 from 9 to 55 en->xx language pairs by collecting new reference translations for 46 languages in a dataset called WMT24++ Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.12404… Data: huggingface.co/datasets/googl…

🚨 NEW WORKSHOP ALERT 🚨 We're thrilled to announce the first-ever Tokenization Workshop (TokShop) at #ICML2025 ICML Conference! 🎉 Submissions are open for work on tokenization across all areas of machine learning. 📅 Submission deadline: May 30, 2025 🔗 tokenization-workshop.github.io

Happy to see the first feature powered by Gemini native audio outputs ship out to public - especially since it's MASSIVELY multilingual. Lots more coming soon 😉

📣 Call for Paper Alert: TokShop @ ICML 2025 TokShop explores tokenization across all data modalities. Topics include: subword NLP techniques, multimodal approaches, multilingual challenges, post-training modification, alternative representations, and statistical perspectives.

TokShop @ #ICML2025 got way more submissions than expected! 📈 We could really use a few more reviewers to help out. If you have the capacity to review a #tokenization paper by Saturday, please fill out this form: forms.gle/32A6sQHQrMSb6h… 🙏

The TokShop schedule is now live! Join us at #ICML2025 for invited talks, poster sessions, and a panel on the future of tokenization. tokenization-workshop.github.io/schedule #Tokenization #LLM #NLProc

🎤 Meet our expert panelists! Join Albert Gu, Alisa Liu, Kris Cao, Sander Land, and Yuval Pinter as they discuss the Future of Tokenization on July 18 at 3:30 PM at TokShop at #ICML2025.

Full house at the Tokenization Workshop (TokShop) @ICML2025 tokenization workshop at #ICML2025 today!
