Excited to announce the 1st Workshop on Large Language Models for Cross-Temporal Research at COLM 2025 on Oct 10 in Montreal 🇨🇦 LLMs are hindered in their understanding of time due to temporal biases, conflicting knowledge, and tokenization that fragments dates, leading to…

Paper submission deadline for our @ICCVConference workshop has been extended to 27th of June! Plenty of time to work on a paper submission off the back of @CVPRConf @CVPR @TheBMVA @eccvconf @PascalMettes @adn_twitts @IndroSpinelli

We are back at #ICCV2025 for the second workshop on Hyperbolic and Hyperspherical Learning for Computer Vision. We will have 2 tracks: one for new research (to be published in proceedings) and one for recently published works. Deadline: June 1st Link: sites.google.com/view/beyondeuc…

Looking for a PhD in NLP or interactive AI? At the University of Bristol we're recruiting candidates interested in interaction with small models, applications such as health, and uncertainty and disagreement in NLP. uob-nlp.github.io/phd.html Please send a message if interested!


Thanks for reading our work. Indeed, the gap between professional translators and LLMs is substantial, and the scope for future work is manifold ;-)

Research shows that in the era of large language models, literary #translation remains “an exclusive domain of human #translators” 🤝📚 and both human and automatic metrics are deemed “inadequate.” #LLMs @egere14 @andyweizhao @aberdeenuni @utn_nuremberg slator.com/large-language…



Great resource taking you on a journey from the historic to modern issues of NLG - from an expert working on this topic for decades!

Spotted my new book as pre-release on Amazon, which was exciting (amazon.co.uk/Natural-Langua…). Ill say more about it when its published, but the preface explains goals of the book ehudreiter.com/book/preface/



Thank you for a lot of great discussions 🙏

We are organizing a shared task on (dis)agreements among annotators in lexical semantics. The task provides human judgements over seven languages - a useful resource for some of you looking at the fundamentals of disagreements such as their complexity and underlying causes.

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!



Looking forward to discussions!

At 15:00 on 9th September, Wei Zhao @andyweizhao from The University of Aberdeen @aberdeenuni will give an #IRTalk talk entitled "Temporal Evaluation for Large Language Models". Details at: samoa.dcs.gla.ac.uk/events/viewtal… @GlasgowCS @ir_glasgow
