☘️ Happy to attend ACL 2025 and present our long paper: "Slangvolution: A Causal Analysis of Semantic Change and Frequency Dynamics in Slang" with @Daphiya Zhijing Jin @ACL 2025 Vienna and Mrinmaya Sachan from ETH Zurich and Intelligent Systems #acl2022nlp #NLProc

To what extent do neural networks learn compositional behaviour? Together with Naomi Saphra, Jon Rawski, @ryandcotterell and Adina Williams we take a lesson from formal language theory to answer this question. arxiv.org/abs/2208.08195

Super excited to share a ton of research papers accepted to #EMNLP2022 that were done in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University researchers! Congratulations to the authors on this achievement!! 🥳🥳🥳 Details to follow soon.

Algorithms for Weighted Pushdown Automata, at #EMNLP2022 with Butoi Alexandra Brian DuSell Tim Vieira @ryandcotterell arxiv.org/abs/2210.06884

Pretrained LMs are powerful! How to leverage their power for structured prediction? We are thrilled to share our paper “Autoregressive Structured Prediction with Language Models”, which achieves SOTA on NER, relation extraction, coreference resolution! #emnlp2022

Long queues to get a chance to speak with Anej Svete and Shauli Ravfogel! 🐍 Check out their work on Acyclic WFSA with Failure Arcs and Kernelized Concept Erasure EMNLP 2025! @ryandcotterell Jason Eisner Tim Vieira Benjamin Dayan ETH CS Department cs.jhu.edu/~jason/papers/… arxiv.org/abs/2201.12191

And that's it! Package in little jars, share with friends, give as gifts. Everyone has had candy, but how many people have had homemade candy? These are a true ray of sunshine in the depths of winter 🍋

A conference is coming up, and you need new slides? What if you had a digital assistant to convert your paper into a (draft) slide set? A research team at ETH Zurich has been working on a tool to convert articles to slides. To fine-tune the prototype, we need your help! (1/2)

Our feline attendees have had a strong presence at #eacl2023 so far! Here's Butoi Alexandra and others with one of our conference cats.

Representing Rycolab at #eacl2023 with Butoi Alexandra Andreas Opedal Karolina Stanczak Clemente Pasti and Kevin Du!

Come to our ACL tutorial tomorrow at 14h on generating text from language models! Material will be online here: rycolab.io/classes/acl-20… w/ Tiago Pimentel Afra Amini John Hewitt Luca Malagutti @ryandcotterell

Are you a big fan of structure? Have you ever wanted to apply the latest and greatest large language model out-of-the-box to parsing? Are you a secret connoisseur of linear-time dynamic programs? If you answered yes, our outstanding #ACL2023NLP paper may be just right for you!

What is the best way to use language models for ranking tasks, such as "rank the following countries by size: 🇺🇸,🇨🇳,🇨🇦,🇷🇺"? We study pairwise, pointwise and listwise prompting as well as unsupervised Contrast-Consistent Ranking (CCR): preprint arxiv.org/pdf/2309.06991… ⬇️ thread

ACL org announcement: 📢 The list of accepted tutorials at EACL, ACL, NAACL and EMNLP in 2024 is out 🎉 #NLProc Please help spread the word. Retweeting w/ references, especially with instructors information etc is very much appreciated - thanks! 😊

🤖 Ever wondered what RNN-based language models are truly capable of? Check out our #EMNLP2023 paper which places formal bounds on their capabilities! With Anej Svete, Leo Du, and Ryan (1/7) arxiv.org/abs/2310.12942
