HalluCitation Matters: Revealing the Impact of Hallucinated References with 300 Hallucinated Papers in ACL Conferences
Recently, we have often observed hallucinated citations or references that do not correspond to any existing work in papers under review, preprints, or published papers. Such hallucinated citations pose a serious concern to scientific reliability. When they appear in accepted papers, they may also negatively affect the credibility of conferences. In this study, we refer to hallucinated citations as "HalluCitation" and systematically investigate their prevalence and impact. We analyze all papers published at ACL, NAACL, and EMNLP in 2024 and 2025, including main conference, Findings, and workshop papers. Our analysis reveals that nearly 300 papers contain at least one HalluCitation, most of which were published in 2025. Notably, half of these papers were identified at EMNLP 2025, the most recent conference, indicating that this issue is rapidly increasing. Moreover, more than 100 such papers were accepted as main conference and Findings papers at EMNLP 2025, affecting the credib

För att förtydliga. Det går att sitta på KB labb och göra enklare analyser. Men det omöjliggör forskning på språkmodeller. Det som inte är tillåtet för mig är att kopiera materialet till ex. beräkningskluster vid Universitetet.

Det som är ännu mer absurt är att jag i 7 år försökt få forska på materialet, på samma sorts modeller som de tränar, men vid universitetet. Jag har fått nej från KB med hänvisning till samma pliktlagstiftning. De tolkar det som att pliktlagstiftningen endast ger KB rätt att forska på materialet.

Uncertainty in Bayesian Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation Based Model Comparison
It is useful to estimate the expected predictive performance of models planned to be used for prediction. We focus on leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO-CV), which has become a popular method for estimating predictive performance of Bayesian models. Given two models, we are interested in comparing the predictive performances and associated uncertainty, which can also be used to compute the probability of one model having better predictive performance than the other model. We study the properties of the Bayesian LOO-CV estimator and the related uncertainty quantification for the predictive performance difference, and analyse when a normal approximation of this uncertainty is well calibrated and whether taking into account higher moments could improve the approximation. We provide new results of the properties both theoretically in the linear regression case and empirically for hierarchical linear, latent linear, and spline models and discuss the challenges. We show that problematic cases include: comparing models with similar predictions, misspecified models, and small data. In these cases, there is a weak connection between the distributions of the LOO-CV estimator and its error. We show that that the problematic skewness of the error distribution for the difference, which occurs when the models make similar predictions, does not fade away when the data size grows to infinity in certain situations. Based on the results, we also provide some practical recommendations for the users of Bayesian LOO-CV for comparing predictive performance of models.

Uppträdanden på gator o torg ”som vi inte är vana vid” säger Tove L om Palestinarörelsen. #agenda Hört talas om ungdomskravaller från 50-talet o framåt? Eller -68? Vietnamdemonstrationer? Irakkriget? EU-mötet 2001. Vid alla har det skett olämpligheten. You name it. Sluta vara så historielös!

Jag var i kontakt med dem för några år sedan och de vägrade ha en lösning med öppen PDF och tryck för de som vill köpa fysisk bok. Då väljer jag öppen litteratur istället som lärare. Jag tänker inte tvinga studenter att köpa en bok när öppna digitala alt finns. Det är nog en rimligare förklaring.
