Don't tell the book historians, but subword tokenization is first and foremost a typographic procedure
The project that started my whitespace obsession... #EMNLP2025

While we've all been worrying about tokenizers, lurking in the background has been the preprocessing *before* tokenization. Poems break standard HTML-to-text linearization systems, and we find that multimodal models aren't a solution.

Glad to share our work is accepted for presentation at #CHR2025! In this work, we experimented with ways to distinguish “parasitic poems”—which do not serve meaningful storytelling functions—from “nonparasitic” ones in Chinese vernacular fiction. Looking forward to sharing more at the conference!

Some colleagues and I are developing a study of AI disclosure policies, especially in academic contexts. If you've come across such policies, please let me know where you saw them or just share the link!

Thanks for any places you might suggest!
