Please take 5-10 minutes to fill out this survey!

It's just upsetting and discouraging for me to witness systemic racism in my university. At this point, I am questioning myself if I can finish my PhD successfully or just drown in continuous documentation and barriers that my university demands.

New at #EMNLP2025! ✨ Glitter is our benchmark for gender-fair German translation, full passages + 3 gender-fair strategies.

The survey takes around 5-10 minutes to complete.

Whether you succeeded in changing the names, you're still fighting publishers, or you gave up. Please share with anyone who's been through this.

We're investigating how publishers handle name changes and the barriers scholars face. If you've changed your name (or are considering it) and dealt with updating your academic publications, we want to hear from you. Researchers who have changed their name for any reason, such as gender transition, marriage, divorce, immigration, cultural reasons, or citation formatting issues. Whether you've successfully updated your work, are currently trying, or decided not to because of barriers, your opinion matters. Your input will help us advocate for better, more inclusive policies in academic publishing. It takes around 5-10 minutes to complete. Survey Link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/E0XXBmZdEP Please share with anyone who might benefit.

I'm on the job market looking for CS/ischool faculty and related positions! I'm broadly interested in doing research with policymakers and communities impacted by AI to inform and develop mitigations to harms and risks. If you've included any of my work in syllabi or policy docs please let me know!

Social media impact measurement is something I am planning to do empirically: like measuring follower counts vs review scores; follower counts vs cites etc.

This is a good point, yeah. We discussed this when we were designing the survey and arrived at this sentiment as we want to understand how different communities approach towards social media.

I'm conducting research on how ACL's peer reviewing policies impact NLP research quality, career trajectories, and inclusivity within our community. Your insights—whether you're a seasoned reviewer, early-career researcher, or anywhere in between—are invaluable. The survey takes 7-10 minutes and covers topics like review quality, reviewer assignment, and accessibility barriers. All responses are confidential and will help inform evidence-based improvements to our peer review processes.

I would really appreciate insights from y'all!

tourism is overrated.

AI for good, with caveats: How a keynote speaker was censored during an international artificial intelligence summit Q&A with Abeba Birhane on how she was censored during the AI for Good summit and how the industry can do better.

Most people who’ve known me more than 30 minutes will have heard me rant about how AI for social good is a corporate branding attempt at excusing AI.

But the fact that the AI for Good summit censored @abeba.bsky.social is beyond disgraceful.
