Our new reasoning benchmark based on the NPR Sunday Puzzle's weekly challenge shows that o1 / o3-mini-high are significantly better at verbal reasoning than other models (i.e. R1)-- more below!

If you have a neat modeling technique, experimental design, or other research method for computational pragmatics, please share it with the community by submitting a lightning talk! It doesn't have to be novel, just useful!

excited to say that our Substance Beats Style paper was accepted to NAACL! We investigate *why* student-written programming prompts don't work well for LLMs, and find that while students think it's because of technical vocabulary gaps, it's actually information content that matters
Substance Beats Style: Why Beginning Students Fail to Code with LLMs
Although LLMs are increasing the productivity of professional programmers, existing work shows that beginners struggle to prompt LLMs to solve text-to-code tasks. Why is this the case? This paper expl...

Did you know that SCiL accepts both abstracts (2 pages) and full papers (8 pages)? Both submission types will be considered for talks and posters.
This year, we are also looking for lightning talks on methods in computational pragmatics!

There's still plenty of time to put together a submission to SCiL 2025!
The deadline for SCiL 2025 is in just a few weeks (Jan. 24th)!
SCiL welcomes submissions on computational and mathematical approaches in any area of linguistics. SCiL 2025 will also include a special symposium on computational pragmatics!
