Please do not submit LLM-written papers to TACL! I appreciate many people (even high-school students) have success doing this with ARR, Neurips, and other mega-conf. But TACL reviewing is still almost all done by people, and LLM/AI slop is very unlikely to be accepted.

Aberdeen CS is hiring a new (full) Professor! Basically a replacement for me, so especially interested in NLP people, but open to other CS fields as well. Closing date is 19 Nov. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/profe…

Congrats to my students Iniakpokeikiye Thompson and Jawwad Baig for winning the "Best Evaluation" award at INLG. This is for their paper "One Feedback System Does Not Fit All:Localising Data-to-Text Driver Coaching for the UK and Nigeria" ehudreiter.com/2026/09/17/lo…

New blog: Advice to Humanities Scholars on Using AI and NLP I recently gave a general talk on using AI and LLMs to a humanities audience (rabbinic scholars), and tried to explain in a simple way things that should be careful about. ehudreiter.com/2026/10/22/ad…

Just spent three days at a workshop on AI and Rabbinic/Talmudic studies. Very different! Also interesting from eval perspective - how eval AI in context where human experts can have quite different opinions?

Next week I am giving an invited talk at a workshop on AI in Rabbinic/Talmud studies, in Israel. Never done anything like this before, will be really interesting to see how AI is used in this space.

I see lots of posts "our lab has N papers in VENUE". Congratulations, but what is more useful to me is short 3-5 line descriptions of a paper which will convince me to open it and read abstract. With link to final (not submitted) version.

Excited that my student Yujun Wang will present (oral) at EMNLP on "Beyond Accuracy: Community Perspectives on Machine Translation". Many of my students have looked at stakeholder requirements/concerns. Need to underdstand in order to align AI with humans! arxiv.org/abs/2606.09655

AI is improving productivity in science, but so far this has led to a flood of low-quality spam and large amounts of so-so papers. I dont see increase in the really high-quality research that science needs! Maybe blame perverse incentives in science that priotitise quantity.

If AI is risk to humanity, it is because of human stupidity. In 1983 hallucinating Soviet satellite almost started nuclear war, stopped by sensible human. In 2026, hallucinating AI almost led US military to attack Chinese ship, due to poor human oversight edition.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p…

I love the phrase "paper-shaped objects" in below "modern AI systems can generate paper-shaped objects even for users who are unfamiliar with the related work and writing conventions for a given area," blog.iclr.cc/2026/09/02/subm…

I see submissions from people who are trying to learn how to do research using LLMs. This is dubious, and do not expect TACL (etc) to teach research skills! I suggest you get involved with local research: attend workshop, join seminar series, help in a research project, etc

New blog: Localising NLG content in a driving feedback system NLG systems need to localise content for different countries and cultures. Two of my PhD students have written a nice case study paper about this for INLG, in a driving feedback domain. ehudreiter.com/2026/09/17/lo…
