tinlab at Boston University (with a new logo! 🪄) is recruiting PhD students for F25 and/or a postdoc! Our interests include meaning, generalization, evaluation design, and the nature of computation/representation underlying language and cognition, in both humans and machines. ⬇️

Do you want to understand how language models work, and how they can change language science? I'm recruiting PhD students at UBC Linguistics! The research will be fun, and Vancouver is lovely. So much cool NLP happening at UBC across both Ling and CS! linguistics.ubc.ca/graduate/admis…

Chuffed that Kanishka Misra 🌊 on “controlled rearing” to learn the “a beautiful five days in Miami” arxiv.org/abs/2403.19827 construction won an EMNLP Outstanding Paper Award! And delighted that the ACL community saw fit to recognize a paper about an odd little ling construction.

congratulations to Amit Moryossef for winning the outstanding demo paper award at #EMNLP2024!

UT Linguistics is on a roll at #EMNLP2024! Congrats to Prof. Kyle Mahowald (Kyle Mahowald) and Prof. Jessy Li (Jessy Li), and their respective coauthors, for winning Outstanding Paper Awards!

Hey :) I'm looking for 3 emergency reviewers for ARR submissions🚨📷 they are all in LM interpretability! Should be submitted within the next 36 hours 🙃 If you are interested, please DM me! #NLProc #NLP

I'm in need of NINE emergency reviews for ACL ARR. Over 1/3 of my reviewers are nonresponsive, I think that's a personal record 🙃 Please let me know if you can take on some of these!!

There's a known bug in how we compute "word" probabilities with subword-based LMs that mark beginnings of words -- as pointed out by Byung-Doh Oh (w/ Will Schuler), & Tiago Pimentel and Clara Isabel Meister I'm pleased to announce that minicons now includes a fix which runs batch-wise!

I’m hiring PhD students in computer science at Columbia! Our lab will tackle core challenges in understanding and controlling neural models that interact with language. for example, - methods for LLM control - discoveries of LLM properties - pretraining for understanding

Submissions for the 2025 Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics are due Feb. 16 I humbly request your help with spreading the word

Extremely excited to share that I will be joining UBC Computer Science as an Assistant Professor this summer! I will be recruiting students this coming cycle!

📖👀🤖David R. Reich Omer Shubi Lena Jäger & I will give a tutorial on Eyetracking and NLP at ACL 2025! We will present eyetracking fundamentals, resources, integrating eye movements during reading in NLP models, NLP for modeling eye movements, and exciting new applications. Join us!

Much of the research around SAEs these days reminds me of papers that assessed probing classifiers more thoughtfully. Here’s one that can inspire how to assess SAE tradeoffs: aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-mai… By Tiago Pimentel Naomi Saphra 🧈🪰 Adina Williams, Ryan Cotterell (who’s no longer here?)

Come by poster #2402 East hall at NeurIPS from 11am-2pm Friday to chat about why outlier features emerge during training and how we can prevent them!
