If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL (#acl2025nlp) or ICML (#icml2025 ) and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/ac…

I'm excited to announce that I’ll be joining the Computer Science department at Johns Hopkins University as an Assistant Professor this Fall! I’ll be working on large language models, computational social science, and AI & society—and will be recruiting PhD students. Apply to work with me!

Thrilled to announce that I will be joining UT Austin Computer Science at UT Austin as an assistant professor in fall 2026! I will continue working on language models, data challenges, learning paradigms, & AI for innovation. Looking forward to teaming up with new students & colleagues! 🤠🤘

Totally agree. While language models can significantly support many aspects of scientific research, I’m not convinced it’s a good idea to fully automate the research process and submit the resulting papers for peer review just to showcase the capabilities of your agents…

Well... a new chapter is starting! I'm over the moon to be joining MIT EECS / MIT CSAIL as an Assistant Professor, starting Fall 2026. 🌕 (1/5)

Over the past year we received SO many requests for a DeepLearning.AI short course on DSPy. Thanks to a great effort by my colleagues Chen Qian & Cathy Yin from the DSPy team at @Databricks, here's a collaboration with Andrew Ng's team who have been super helpful on this!

‘Bold,’ ‘positive’ and ‘unparalleled’: Allen School Ph.D. graduates Ashish Sharma and Sewon Min recognized with ACM Doctoral Dissertation Awards news.cs.washington.edu/2025/06/04/all… Massive congrats to Ashish Sharma and Sewon Min - huge win for UW NLP and the broader NLP community! 🙌

🎓 Congrats to Ashish Sharma, University of Washington on receiving the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award for his dissertation, "Human-AI Collaboration to Support Mental Health and Well Being." 👏 Honorable Mentions: Alexander Kelley, University of Illinois Sewon Min, UC Berkeley

here are three awesome researchers everyone should follow: - Songlin (Songlin Yang / phd at MIT), - Will William Merrill (phd at NYU / gonna be a prof soon) - Rulin (Rulin Shao / phd at UW)! and here is why: 1. if i had to bet on one person to develop an architecture that

HUGE congratulations to my PhD student Ashish Sharma for doing amazing work now recognized with the Association for Computing Machinery Doctoral Dissertation Award. It's been a great pleasure to work with you! Great to see a major award go towards high-impact work in AI for mental health.

We know Attention and its linear-time variants, such as linear attention and State Space Models. But what lies in between? Introducing Log-Linear Attention with: - Log-linear time training - Log-time inference (in both time and memory) - Hardware-efficient Triton kernels

hello twittersphere! i am planning to graduate in a few months, so i am officially ✨ Looking For A Job ✨ if you know of a role that'd be a good fit, or just want to chat, please reach out! here are some projects i've worked on that i'm most proud of 👇

Qwen3-0.6B x Wikipedia datastore is now supported in massive-serve! Serve a local API in one line: massive-serve serve --domain --domain_name dpr_wiki_qwen3_0.6b_ivfpq Use `dpr_wiki_qwen3_0.6b` for flat index. Examples of sending single/batch queries: github.com/RulinShao/mass…

LMs often output answers that sound right but aren’t supported by input context. This is intrinsic hallucination: the generation of plausible, but unsupported content. We propose Precise Information Control (PIC): a task requiring LMs to ground only on given verifiable claims.

Excited to be at #CVPR2025 this week! I’ll be talking about tool-augmented multimodal reasoning in Thursday’s tutorial. Come say hi if you’re around🍻 ⏰ 1:30–5:00 PM CDT 📍 Room 107 B, CVPR venue

A bit late to announce, but I’m excited to share that I'll be starting as an assistant professor at the University of Maryland UMD Department of Computer Science this August. I'll be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle for fall 2026. (And if you're a UMD grad student, sign up for my fall seminar!)

We’re organizing a workshop on LLMs for Scientific Discovery at #COLM2025 💡🧪🧬 Submit your exciting work by June 23! Stay tuned for our incredible speaker lineup!
