Dear NLP community, I see a lot of posts sharing comments full of great ideas on how to improve our reviewing processes. Don't stop there! Throw your 🎩 in the ring to join the EiC team. Nomination process is open until July 31st. Nominate your great colleagues too! #NLProc

I will soon be hiring PhDs/postdocs for a new university lab in Germany! If you have strong CL/NLP skills and are interested in modeling implicit/underspecified language, misunderstandings, or commonsense vs. individual background knowledge, let's connect. Please DM me or RT! :)

Sexual harassment is a horrible impediment to academic research, shutting out talented researchers and slowing scientific progress. What can we do? I believe we're not helpless; we can improve our communities through practical actions. Take a look: github.com/maria-antoniak…

We published data and starting kits for the CoMeDi shared task(s)! My favorite: predicting disagreements in word-in-context annotation (subtask 2). For more info, see comedinlp.github.io!

If you have ever wondered why there is a need to work on resolving implicit references, here is a surprising (to me) practical motivation: arxiv.org/abs/2410.03857

ACL elections: a place where a candidate who does not respond to CL review requests emphasizes the importance of reviewing procedures. I don't want to name names, but please only vote for people who have proven their commitment...

Reminder that the application deadline for PhDs/postdocs in my NLU Lab is this Sunday! I am happy to answer questions before the deadline. Just DM or email me! :-)

If you applied or considered applying for a PhD position with me, I strongly recommend that you also apply for a position with Barbara. We have many common interests and there will definitely be opportunities for collaboration. :-)

Reminder: CoMeDiNLP will happen COLING 2025! The new deadline for regular and non-archival workshop papers is next Friday, Nov 22 (23:59, "anywhere on earth"). We are looking forward to your submissions!

Looking for new challenges in 2025? Come join our group. We have open positions for a PhD candidate and a Postdoc to work on human-centered NLP. The deadline for applying is today. If the timing is not right for you but everything else is, please contact me.

TIL: Invited speakers for workshops in the UAE need a speaker permit. If this requirement is not fulfilled, the whole workshop will be shut down. It's a very liberal host country, as long as you comply with their rules.

While I am still on X, do I know people who would be willing to serve as emergency area chairs or reviewers in the current ARR cycle (mostly semantics)? (In other news, you will find me here in the future: bsky.app/profile/microt…)

Just dropped a new post on BlueSky! Follow me there for the latest on #conll2025 and other #nlp/#nlproc updates. Already following? Please RT across the blue sky. bsky.app/profile/microt…
