oof. I set a max load to 30 because in the last ARR cycle I had 60, and I had an AC for 15 submissions who did nothing at all (until 5 days past the meta-review ddl, they submitted meta-reviews for papers for which i already had an emergency AC who had written a meta-review)

good morning to you and to my ACs who submitted all their meta-reviews before the deadline

As someone with degrees in both, this is spot on 🎯

Aujourd'hui une étudiante bullet points m'a dit que pour un autre exam, le.a prof a dit justement qu'iel voulait des listes et pas des phrases complètes. Pour un exam open book. Je comprends pas. Mais donc les collègues empirent le truc apparemment

Hi #NLP Bluesky, the Multilinguality track at #ACL2026NLP @aclmeeting.bsky.social needs emergency reviewers. If you can complete one or two reviews before February 15, please reach out. Thank you!

I think something is particularly wrong this cycle, I've heard multiple stories of people being assigned more than their load even a case of someone whose load was supposed to be 0. Don't know if bug or intentional

thx, already saved this to my zotero and plan to read it soon! :) looks like very interesting work!

Je suis contente de pas être dans le système francophone juste pour ça

Form and Meaning in Intrinsic Multilingual Evaluations Intrinsic evaluation metrics for conditional language models, such as perplexity or bits-per-character, are widely used in both mono- and multilingual settings. These metrics are rather straightforwar...

New EACL paper (with @mdlhx.bsky.social)! We tested if comparing perplexity of parallel data across languages is fair. Turns out: it depends. We show the choice of test set (even with consistent meaning) can flip conclusions about which language is easier to model.

Today, the ACL Anthology switched to a new system for how author pages work. From now on, ORCID iDs will be the main mechanism for matching papers to the correct author. 🧵⤵️

Reminder that we have an alt-ARR slack workspace where ACs and SACs can support each other through the sometimes confusing process of the ARR cycle! Post or DM me a good email address for a Slack invitation and I will add you. #ACL2026

J'étais pas sérieuse hehe. Je crois que c'est juste inévitable. Mes exams sont open-book. Je le dis répétitivement en cours, je le dis sur un pdf d'info sur l'exam, c'est écrit sur la page officielle du cours. J'ai encore des étudiants qui écrivent sur leur copie "I didn't know it was open book"

"Think about it step by step"

Je crois qu'il faut aussi écrire avant chaque question, lis les instructions d'abord. Peut-être même les faire réécrire les instructions avant de répondre aux questions

Master et master "avancé"

C'est ce que je fais et pourtant chaque année j'ai des étudiants qui écrivent quand-même des listes

Congratulations Dr.!!!! 🎉

I got bed rotting 😑

Some pretty cool topics, in my unbiased opinion, with a pretty cool supervisor 😎
