@aclrollingreview.bsky.social Hey! I have some non-academic co-authors whose openreview account might not be approved in time for the current ARR deadline. How should I proceed in this case?

Just had a good laugh about how this linkedin poster portrays this paper's method vs the authors themselves

Did they give a reason for the drop in US authors? 🤔

Isn't that still quite vague though? Because which kind of consumer device are we talking about 🙃

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL or ICML and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :)

Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are clear-cut concepts, right? ... right? 😵💫 In our new ICLR blogpost we let different schools of thought speak and contradict each other, and revisit chatbots where “the character of aleatory ‘transforms’ into epistemic” iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/re...

💡 New ICLR paper! 💡
"On Linear Representations and Pretraining Data Frequency in Language Models":
We provide an explanation for when & why linear representations form in large (or small) language models.

I ascribe the success mostly to what might my nicest figure. Took an eternity to write, was rejected twice, and every new paper that came out during the time of writing that I had to read it felt like my last nail (but I didn't learn since I am working on another survey rn)
