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!? 🤩

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 :/

Hosted at RUB, with people attending from Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Regensburg, Magdeburg, and Prague, I think our AI & Law Seminars is growing pretty well! Thanks @d4br4.bsky.social for coming over and giving a super inspiring talk on "disagreement (?)" in legal NLP

This was a wonderful workshop! I've realized that we are *the* NLP community investigating privacy and language from many different angles. Check out the recordings on Underline and the workshop proceedings aclanthology.org/volumes/2025... ... now turning off the lights :) and see you next year!!

We kicked off a new series of research seminars "AI & Law"! With our first guest Sabine Wehnert on how to win a COLIEE competition, RAGs and graphs in German legal NLP, and much more. Next edition (hybrid again) on May 7, stay tuned

If you wonder why I pretend to play a guitar here ... wel... all my lifetime experience with group photoshooting was with rock bands, not research groups ;)
But our first TrustHLT group offsite rocked!

😮 My WOW-TIL moment: "Human learning has an inductive bias that causes people infer straight lines from data, and when combined with error prone learning, this bias gradually causes people to see straight lines where none existed." doi:10.1098/rspb.2011.0349

Interested in legal text summarization but have no time to read 120+ recent papers? Look no more!
We provide a systematic survey on legal summarization covering the "transformer" era with methods, datasets, evaluation, etc.

Thanks to the Social Data Science Center @univofmaryland.bsky.social and the American Statistical Assoc. for inviting me to the Privacy Week symposium! With 100+ statisticians in the audience, I was sweating every time my figures showed error bars 😅
