there is this guy on my flight to shanghai sitting next to me checking out the emnlp program and a bunch of papers and his bsky feed is 90% emnlp stuff and on the one hand it would be nice to chat but on the other hand it‘s a 12-hour flight so maybe i it’a better if i focus on my netfix downloads..

I will be attending EMNLP in China to present our paper with @bylinina.bsky.social (who will be in China, too) and Jakub Dotlacil in the BabyLM workshop! Looking forward to meeting people there! ✨ 😊 #EMNLP2025 @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social

Four large Dutch universities, including Leiden University where I work, have decided to throw international psychology bachelor programs under the bus in an effort to appease the rightwing government.

Here's my blog why this is a terrible idea.

Cutting international bachelor programs threatens psychological science » Eiko Fried

do we know a pair of base vs. instruct models that are both deployed by an inference provider on hf (or maybe a hf space but less preferable..) AND that don't require students sending their info for the license agreement?

i mean i'd be really surprised if what lms generate as 'reasoning' text faithfully reflected the ways they come up with the answer. like, what would guarantee that

in order to actually do smth in research directions i'm interested in i need some bandwidth: research time, phd students to work with, experiment budgets. in nl it's getting more and more complicated (for obv reasons): some ways to get phd students are frozen, some grants not announced anymore..
