Honoured to be among those funded by this scheme! The pressure is on to deliver! If you know anyone looking for a postdoc or a PhD on the topic of fact checking in NLP/ML, point them my way!
Congratulations to Dr Andreas Vlachos on winning an ERC Consolidator Grant! 🎉🎉 #ERCCoG @ERC_Research #EUfunded
In Switzerland to speak at #AMLDEPFL2025 in the "Breaking News: AI's Role in Shaping Modern Media" track. If you're here and into #factchecking, come say hi tomorrow. Stoked for this!
Looking forward to this year's edition! With great speakers: Ryan McDonald @yulanhe Vlad Niculae @anas_ant @raquel_dmg @annargrs @preslav_nakov @mohitban47 @eunsolc @MarieMarneffe !
📢 10 Days Left to apply for the AthNLP - Athens Natural Language Processing Summer School! ✍ Get your applications in before June 15th! athnlp.github.io/2025/cfp.html
@pietro_lesci is finishing his PhD soon, and on the job market :) so hire him if you want someone who thinks outside the box!
This lead author (@pietro_lesci) has the most creative NLP papers. He adapts methods typically used for observational studies and the results are always so cool
A string may get 17 times less probability if tokenised as two symbols (e.g., ⟨he, llo⟩) than as one (e.g., ⟨hello⟩)—by an LM trained from scratch in each situation! Our #acl2025nlp paper proposes an observational method to estimate this causal effect! Longer thread soon!
🔥 We teach LLMs to say how confident they are on-the-fly during long-form generation. 🤩No sampling. No slow post-hoc methods. Not limited to short-form QA! ‼️Just output confidence in a single decoding pass. ✅Better calibration! 🚀 20× faster runtime. arXiv:2505.23912 👇
📄 Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.18677 💻 Code and annotated data: github.com/ericchamoun/NL… (coming soon) Big thank you to my collaborators @vlachos_nlp, @michael_sejr, @nedjmaou!
Inception Lab and Gemini Diffusion are hot these days. Just published a blog post on Diffusion Language Models! 🚀 Exploring how diffusion (yes, the image model kind) can be used for text generation. Check it out👇 spacehunterinf.github.io/blog/2025/diff… #NLP #LLMs #DiffusionModels

Being in a hot air balloon in Albuquerque really makes one ponder *how to efficiently pick the best translation candidate without running expensive evaluation metrics on all of them.* See you tomorrow at 9:00 in Hall 3.
Come and join us at @AmsterdamNLP! We have two open PhD positions in #NLProc with a focus on multilingual NLP and LLM alignment. Looking for students with an NLP/ML background and an interest in language and society. werkenbij.uva.nl/en/vacancies/t…

The First Workshop on Large Language Model Memorization will be co-located at @aclmeeting in Vienna. Help us spread the word!
📢The First Workshop on Large Language Model Memorization (L2M2) will be co-located with @aclmeeting in Vienna🎉 💡L2M2 brings together researchers to explore memorization from multiple angles. Whether it's text-only LLMs or Vision-language models, we want to hear from you!🌍
Super happy to share that I have been awarded the Doreen Thomas Fellowship as lecturer (US equiv: assistant professor) @UniMelb. I'm looking forward to expanding my research on NLP, online harms, and communities.
