This is a reminder that the meta-reviews are due TODAY 4 March AoE. Please remember that if you don't sumit your meta-reviews on time you might be considered highly irresponsible, which means your co-authored papers may be desk rejected and you may become ineligible from committing to *CL conferences or (re-)submitting any work on the the next ARR cycle.

I don't understand why the ACL/ARR organizers think this is an appropriate way to communicate with area chairs... The peer review system is collapsing, and the whole system of science as we know it requires a rethink. But let's be kind to eachother in the process and not forget what we are here for.

Happy to offer drinks/food if you live in/pass by Lisbon ☀️

I started my 2-months fellowship at caisa.dk investigating how 🇩🇰Danish politics are represented in LLMs and if it is a good idea to use them for voting advice which might be relevant very soon with 🗳️Danish elections around the corner. I received a warm welcome & am very grateful for this opportunity

Excited to share that 📏 Cetvel benchmark has been accepted to #EACL2026! 📏 Cetvel is designed to evaluate LLMs in Turkish. Please see the thread below for more details. #NLProc

Sozialamt zieht Flaschenpfand von Sozialhilfe ab Das Sozialamt Altona zog einem Rentner 58 Euro gesammeltes Pfand von der Grundsicherung ab. Dabei dürfte er selbst nach strenger Auslegung etwas behalten.

2020: Döpfner bekommt 1 Milliarde € Aktien geschenkt und schummelt 500 Millionen € Steuern am Staat vorbei. Niemand juckt’s.

Sep. 2025: Hans sammelt 58 € Pfand, weil er Geld für Essen & Medikamente braucht, meldet es dem Sozialamt und das Geld wird ihm weggekürzt.

Es ist so f*cking unfassbar!

SODAS Data Discussion 3 (Fall 2025) SODAS is delighted to host Daniel Juhász Vigild and Stephanie Brandl for the Fall 2025 Data Discussion series!

Join us for a Data Discussion on Friday, November 7! 📅

Daniel Juhász Vigild will start by exploring how government use of AI impacts its trustworthiness, while Stephanie Brandl will examine whether LLMs can identify and classify fine-grained forms of populism.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Thanks for the reference! Yeah I am also wondering if instead we need new terminology for the bigger LLMs.

Interesting, thank you!

Reviewer #2 🙃
"Note: Given the size of the language models used in this study (all models <= 13B), I encourage the authors to follow the literature and call them small language models (SLMs) instead of LLMs."

Has anyone seen this notation in the literature?
