This was one of the coolest gigs ever! Usually we play a couple of fill-ins and then get bored during the speeches... But this time James Green, a NASA chief scientist, talking an hour about his team landing on Mars and searching for life there? What can be more fascinating than that!? 🤩

🎉 Welcome Sabine Wehnert to TrustHLT!
She builds practical Legal NLP: textbook-to-law knowledge, robust search & recommenders, and verifiable model outputs for real legal work. What capability should trustworthy legal AI deliver next?

🌍 “Do the right thing, not just the easy thing.”
Prof. Elizabeth Tipton (Northwestern) visited the RC Trust Graduate School to discuss how science can create trustworthy evidence that truly supports policymaking.

EMNLP 25 demo decisions are out, angry e-mails are coming in, but if you wonder what it means to run this thing first time in OpenReview, we have been documenting it and making it fully transparent: github.com/habernal/emn... including lessons learned for future chairs (see Issues)

The EMNLP @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social 2025 demo acceptance notifications are out. 77 out of 212 papers accepted. 31 excellent area chairs, 185 mostly excellent reviewers (some left the marathon in the middle), Joerg and Peter amazing PC co-chairs! 964 orga e-mails sent so far - and we're not over yet.

Updates from EMNLP demo area chairs: We're working hard on finalizing the decisions - partly becuase we're really spend time with quite many papers out of 212 submitted, partly because of the unavoidable troubleshooting of OpenReview. Just give us one more day, thanks!

Dear EMNLP'25 demo reviewers - if you make a commitment to review (your community is very thankful for that!!!) then also please deliver :)
Looks like we're looking for emergency reviewers, and we need many :/

@aclanthology.org seems like the anthology website has some performance issues these days, so just FYI...
Time to reach to the burried pile of printed ACL papers from 10 years ago to **finally** read them! (aka. paper ArChaeoLogy :)

#ACL2025NLP was awesome! But the elevator music at the Vienna airport really hurts - "The Blue Danube" (yeah, that famous waltz) crippled into a 4/4 beat, with stupidified "cool" modal harmony in minor chords only... oh boy... why on earth?!... I mean even GenAI could actually do better that that ;)
