(sorry about the bad joke, but we're also presenting a pun paper today at #EMNLP2025 and cannot stop thinking of puns! 😅)
I'll be at the NLPerspectives workshop tomorrow, giving a talk on "Cultural Awareness in Multilingual LLMs" in the morning and then being part of a panel discussion in the afternoon.
Come join and share your perspectives on the topic!
The jaggedness of AI remains even as models have rapidly come to exceed human abilities in many of the hardest timed math & science contests.
Yet there is much less progress on good puns. True AGI would be figure out our limits in more than calculus (sorry, but also seriously).
Where would you like to see chess going over the next 10 years? Elite tournaments (mostly invitationals or more qualification-based?), rating (Elo or more tennis-style rankings encouraging participation?), variants (blitz/rapid, Freestyle), world championship cycle, etc. No need to cover everything!
Our Cardiff #NLP group members and collaborators have several papers accepted at #EMNLP2025!🎉
Check out the list of accepted papers, with preprints now available for 👇🧵1/

You can find all the collections mentioned above in the Cardiff NLP Hugging Face page: huggingface.co/cardiffnlp
That’s all! Hope these resources can be helpful. Also, we welcome feedback and please let us know if you would like to find some additional models currently not supported! 🙏
Hate speech detection. Unfortunately, hateful content is widespread across the web, and it’s hard to detect it without automatic tools. We have developed general-purpose models for hate speech detection, including to classify according to the target community.
Topic classification. With a topic taxonomy tailored for social media, we release datasets and multilingual models for topic classification. With these models, you can filter or analyse content related to specific topics such as sports, science, news, music and 15 others.
Sentiment analysis. Since sentiment analysis is one of the most popular tasks when it comes to social media, we’ve created a separate collection with some of our popular sentiment-related resources, including multilingual models and a unified benchmark for 8 languages 🌍
Sensitive content. In social media we can find sensitive content such as hate speech, conflictual language, drug and sexual-related content, profanity, self-harm or spam. We release a dataset with these categories and models so you can customise your sensitive filters.
SuperTweetEval. This collection contains a benchmark with challenging datasets for NLP tasks in social media such as question answering, topic-based sentiment analysis, emoji prediction or tweet similarity. In addition to the datasets, we release custom models for each task.
TweetNLP. This is definitely our most popular collection 🔥 With millions of downloads every month and over 500 million downloads overall, this collection contains specialised NLP models for sentiment analysis, emotion detection, offensive language identification and more.
Our @cardiffnlp.bsky.social team and collaborators have been releasing amazing NLP models and datasets over the last few years. We've now organised the content as @hf.co collections 🤗

Title - "Multilinguality and Cultural Awareness in Language Models"
I will be attending #coling2025 in Abu Dhabi next week.
You can find me at the 1st Workshop on Language Models for Low-Resource Languages on Monday (where I will be talking about multilingual language models) or during the main conference - check out the papers to be presented from Cardiff NLP! 👇
Reviewing PhD applications, it's impressive the level of the candidates: experience in industry, skills, high-quality papers including top confs...
Before even interviewing them, I already feel bad as we can offer one PhD scholarship only 😥 I would be more than happy to supervise many of them!
@camachocollados.bsky.social and I taught ML for #nlp last semester.
Here is a list of resources that we shared with the students (sorted by theme) in this blogpost: github.com/nedjmaou/CMT...
[Not all students were familiar with coding so it also includes resources for beginners.]
