Embeddings t-SNE vizualizations of paraphrase datasets show: There are big differences in semantic balance. Left: ETPC (human) by Venelin Kovatchev Right: MPC (machine) by Jan Philip Wahle Research still lacks evenly distributed paraphrase datasets by machines! arxiv.org/pdf/2303.13989…

At Dynabench, we're gearing up for the AI race, and we embrace the rapid pace of change! We're excited to announce some big updates that make our new-and-improved platform faster, better, and easier to use, for leaderboard users, dataset creators, and benchmark owners! 1/7

"To overcome the naivety of Naïve Bayes, I suggest that we use a logistic regression!"

Reading a rebuttal where the authors have relied heavily on LLMs to "polish their writing". 2 page rebuttal with 0 meaningful content. Should I lower the score as they wasted 30 minutes of my time or give them an extra point for making me laugh on a Friday?

Preprints should be: 1) accepted papers or 2) papers that will never be peer reviewed. 1) and 2) should be clearly marked. If you are scared someone will steal your research - implement registration (e.g. OSF). If your research will be irrelevant in 3 months - rethink it.

The School of Computer science at UoB is inviting national and international candidates to apply for funded PhDs. The candidates can choose the area, topic, and supervisor. More info: tiny.cc/z06dvz

My heart is full ❤️ So grateful for the community support. I’ll do my best!!

How much does data impact the evaluation of NLP models? How can we measure data distribution in an efficient and multi-dimensional way? How to predict OOD generalizability? Check our paper with Matt Lease - "Benchmark Transparency", accepted at NAACL (arxiv.org/abs/2404.00748)

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham. I am recruiting a student to work on data-centric NLP. Reach out if you are interested in e.g.: active learning, curriculum learning, adversarial data collection, and evaluation for NLP and LLMs. findaphd.com/phds/project/d…
