I'll do the advisory advertising: @ykl7.bsky.social is a fantastic researcher and is passionate about being in academia. He has this amazing ability to simply get things done! Happy to say more in a letter or over a chat but if you are going to @naaclmeeting.bsky.social (#NAACL2025) ping him.
I'm headed to #NAACL2025 ✈️ in Albuquerque 🏜️Looking for postdoc positions in the US, so if you're hiring (or know someone who is), let's chat at the conference! Also organizing #WNU2025 so make sure to swing by the workshop on May 4

In the early days of CS, reviewing loads were typically 20 papers. This required a much greater commitment from the reviewers, but results were much more consistent. For FOCS and STOC, reviewers read EVERY submission

Lots of posts about LLMs trivially generating websites. How do I prompt them to generate a full (static) website with CSS and JS too? The HTML is fine but I can't fix (a lot of) issues in the generated CSS and JS. I feel like we still need domain expertise to make sure these things work 😅

The question that a reviewer should ask themselves is:
Does this paper take a gradient step in a promising direction? Is the community better off with this paper published? If the answer is yes, then the recommendation should be to accept.

A new paper, "Let Me Speak Freely" has been spreading rumors that structured generation hurts LLM evaluation performance.
Well, we've taken a look and found serious issue in this paper, and shown, once again, that structured generation *improves* evaluation performance!

The criteria to get accepted to ARR should be similar to TMLR. The presentation slots in conferences and workshops left to PCs to decide. Decouple the two completely.

Students do different research, go on the job market, and recruit other students. Ping me and I'll add you!
