Led by @stolenpyjak.bsky.social, we built a user-friendly python package for generating and evaluating privacy-preserving synthetic data! See details in our EMNLP Demo paper:

Delighted Sasha's (first year PhD!) work using mech interp to study complex syntax constructions won an Outstanding Paper Award at EMNLP!

Also delighted the ACL community continues to recognize unabashedly linguistic topics like filler-gaps... and the huge potential for LMs to inform such topics!

EMNLP 2025 is over... and Milan Straka is bringing home an award! 🏆
CorPipe triumphed in the prestigious CRAC25 Shared Task, focusing on multilingual coreference resolution.

Did Milan just CRACk it? We certainly think so! 😉

Very honored to be one out of seven outstanding papers at this years' EMNLP :)

Huge thanks to my amazing collaborators @fatemehc.bsky.social @anamarasovic.bsky.social @boknilev.bsky.social , this would not have been possible without them!

Thanks all for a great conference, and see you at the next one!

While lead author @sunnytqin.bsky.social sadly couldn't go to her !!!HOMETOWN!!!! of Suzhou due to visa reentry issues, her EMNLP paper with @dmelis.bsky.social and me is still fantastically cool and I will absolutely take advantage of EMNLP week to reshare it.
Transformer LMs get pretty far by acting like ngram models, so why do they learn syntax? A new paper by sunnytqin.bsky.social, me, and @dmelis.bsky.social illuminates grammar learning in a whirlwind tour of generalization, grokking, training dynamics, memorization, and random variation. #mlsky #nlp
Sometimes I am a Tree: Data Drives Unstable Hierarchical Generalization
Language models (LMs), like other neural networks, often favor shortcut heuristics based on surface-level patterns. Although LMs behave like n-gram models early in training, they must eventually learn...

I’m excited to share our Findings of EMNLP paper w/ @cocoscilab.bsky.social , @rtommccoy.bsky.social, and @rdhawkins.bsky.social !

Language models, unlike humans, require large amounts of data, which suggests the need for an inductive bias.
But what kind of inductive biases do we need?

CIS & MaiNLP Group picture at EMNLP 2025! 🤩 🤗 (1/3)

While I sadly 🥲 won't be at EMNLP this year myself, please do reach out to any of our members for a chat if you are interested in our research!

We also co-organize and participate in some great workshops at EMNLP:

🆕 from us at #EMNLP: Are LMs better at answering questions about Germany in German than in French? Is national knowledge linguistically contingent?

Interestingly, only for some multilingual models is this true. Aya knows China best in Chinese, but LLaMA's best in English always.

It was fantastic to collaborate across Cornell and Apple for our EMNLP paper auditing LLMs for dialectal biases in multiple choice benchmark datasets: arxiv.org/abs/2510.00962.

Anna @annaseogyeongchoi.bsky.social (who's on the job market this year!) did a great job presenting this work today!

Computationally, whitespace gets little attention—it’s usually standardized or stripped.

But in poetry, whitespace matters!

Yet actually *preserving* that poetic whitespace is v tough. Its slipperiness points to bigger issues w/ text processing & LLMs.
