😅 Just realized the typos today, which they are on my website for more than a year.

Disco Elysium is the best game I have ever played. So if you want to try, please grab it on Epic store before the deal is gone!

Does anyone know if ARR or ACL 2026 requires *every* authors to be available for review, or this responsibility can be transferred between co-authors? #ARR #ACL

AI Surrogates and illusions of generalizability in cognitive science Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have generated enthusiasm for using AI simulations of human research participants to generate new know…

Can AI simulations of human research participants advance cognitive science? In @cp-trendscognsci.bsky.social, @lmesseri.bsky.social & I analyze this vision. We show how “AI Surrogates” entrench practices that limit the generalizability of cognitive science while aspiring to do the opposite. 1/

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I cried so hard reading this book 😢

That's cool!

Don't forget snow tires!

It's 2025 and I still need to register separate account for each journal on editorial manager

I am still surprised on the observation that many ACL submissions mixuse \citep and \citet

Clearly people have different definitions on those terms 🤔

🤔 Do authors actually read the responsible NLP checklist for their ARR submissions? Or the reviewers actually check the responsible NLP checklist for peer review?

Cats & dogs is the best feed I have ever found on bluesky 🥰🥰

Another takeaway for NAACL this year 😌

Please stop by if you are interested and happy to chat during the conference!

Bigger But Not Better: Small Neural Language Models Outperform LLMs in Detection of Thought Disorder Changye Li, Weizhe Xu, Serguei Pakhomov, Ellen Bradley, Dror Ben-Zeev, Trevor Cohen. Proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Computational Linguistics and Clinical Psychology (CLPsych 2025). 2025.

and b) a poster presentation on May 3rd (yes, the same day) between 2:50pm to 3:30pm on the better performance of smaller language models for detecting formal thought disorder (aclanthology.org/2025.clpsych...) at Tesuque/Zuni Suite.

“Is There Anything Else?”: Examining Administrator Influence on Linguistic Features from the Cookie Theft Picture Description Cognitive Test Changye Li, Zhecheng Sheng, Trevor Cohen, Serguei V. S. Pakhomov. Proceedings of the Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics. 2025.

Arrived at ABQ for #NAACL ! I will have: a) an oral presentation on the impact of test administration dynamics for the downstream dementia-related linguistic patterns on May 3rd 5:15 pm at Room 31 - Santa Ana (aclanthology.org/2025.cmcl-1....);

I use the combination of semantic scholar, scholar QA, and perplexity. But they all need to double check with the returned results - their summarization could be "not right" on some key points.

Thanks!

Happy to share our work is accepted by #CMCL workshop co-located at #NAACL2025! Our work show that the level of involvement from test administrators have significant impact on observed linguistic patterns in patients' speech in the "Cookie Theft" picture description cognitive test. [1/2]

Happy to share that our work is accepted by #CLPsych workshop co-located at #NAACL2025! Our paper shows that smaller models are more sensitive to linguistic differences associated with formal thought disorder than their larger counterparts 1/2

Just received an email saying that I'm not qualified for ARR review this cycle (which is true). Debating if I should withdraw from reviewer volunteer pool...
