Sudipta Kar

Will be at #emnlp2023 as a co-organizer of the BLP and CALCS workshops. Looking forward to present the MultiCoNER v2 paper, a dataset on fine-grained complex NER in 12 languages. Feel free to say hi. Will be happy to talk about research and music!

@MimansaJ @ReviewAcl Yes

@cryptexcode @ReviewAcl Do the emergency reviewers need to engage beyond the initial review? I haven't reviewed for ARR in a long time. Is it still a multi-stage, multi-turn process once you take up a review of a paper?

I am looking for 2-3 emergency reviewers for the @ReviewAcl January cycle. If you are experienced with LLM training, reasoning, and can review a paper by the next 2 days, please reach out to me. Thanks

@prajdabre They should open a reporting portal. I know an Einstein like this.

Too late! The damage has already been done! I warned people for ages, but no one listened, and I even ended up paying a price for doing so.

ICLR has placed OpenReview in a difficult position, so I want to offer a few words about the OpenReview team working behind the scenes. OpenReview has long been operated at UMass Amherst as a non-profit organization founded by Andrew McCallum. Each year, Andrew must raise more than $2 million to support a 20-person team that provides essential infrastructure for most major conferences. I once asked Andrew what might have been a naïve question: whether he had considered developing a business model for OpenReview, given its prominence and the seemingly obvious opportunities. He pushed back, explaining that everything he has done for OpenReview is driven by a commitment to serve and strengthen the academic community. He is willing to devote significant personal effort to ensure the platform remains freely accessible to all. We should not blame such a brilliant and dedicated team for an accidental issue. Otherwise, fewer people would be willing to shoulder this kind of responsibility in the future. Deep respect to the OpenReview team! I’m grateful for their work and happy to support in any way!

This is a great scope to actually make impact on the system rather than just talking on the social media :)

The submission deadline for the 2nd Workshop on Bangla Language Processing (BLP) workshop (co-located with AACL-IJCNLP 2025) has been extended to October 4, 2025 (blp-workshop.github.io) @firojalam04 @cryptexcode @Enamul_Hoque @shammur_absar @MdNishatRaihan @aaclmeeting

What's an example of a musical artist whose most famous song is also their best?

@TaliaRinger My one also started clapping a few weeks ago. Most funny moments are when he starts sleeping and randomly claps his tiny hands. Even during the night, he claps while sleeping.

My baby learned how to clap a few weeks ago and uses it to communicate so much now. At 445AM today she had a coughing fit that made her puke, and when I changed her into dry clothes she started clapping lol

Can we say that #Coldplay live production team hallucinated just like our LLMs do?

@EmanuelaBoros Have to try. Thanks!

@cryptexcode Haha yes, it was doing the same for me so I changed to Copilot, less invasive somehow.

I am kinda enjoying the LLM powered auto-complete plugins for Visual Code throughout the last couple of years. Suggestions are mostly okay. But what irritates me is the UX. Sometimes I type tab, because I want an indent. And what I get is 15 lines of code vomit to clean up. Wby?

@sarahookr And the painful part is feature engineering days could give a cause-affect landscape, which is non-existent with prompt engineering.

Do you remember when "prompt engineering" was introduced as the future lol. We put all the burden on users to probe high dimensional spaces like tea leave reading. And then every time the next model generation came along -- they had to re-do all their prompts.

Early days of Google Translate were hilarious. But this translation approach with unnecessary reasoning and eventually poor translation by DeepSeek R1 (8B and 32B) is whole different level, ROFL.

I created a Python project starter repo for students that helps maintain good code quality while doing research projects: github.com/neubig/starter… I was opinionated and made only one choice for each tool, but there are other options too!

📣 Did you miss the @aclmeeting deadline? No worries! We're excited to announce that the paper submission deadline has been extended to February 21. If you have papers related to code-switching, submit them here. Don't forget to participate in our shared task as well!

Don't forget to submit your paper to CALCS!

📣 We are excited to host CALCS at this year's @naaclmeeting and to announce our call for papers. For more details, please visit code-switching.github.io. This year, we are also introducing a new code-switching shared task. Stay tuned for more details! #NLProc #naacl2025

Very anxious about friends and in general every person and their families in Los Angeles. Hope they will be safe and the situation will get better. Climate change is real and needs more attention than money making machines.

2025 will be the first year in the history with strong model capabilities getting integrated into consumer grade products at scale. Happy new year!

2024 is very memorable for me. Personally, became a dad. Professionally, I had to spend a ridiculous amount of time on social media to stay updated with new models and capabilities popping up here and there.
