I am begging people who write like LLMs to read Style: Clarity and Grace. Or this 4-pager on character/action grammar. It's not about "genuinely" or "honestly". The tics flag obfuscatory, out-of-order sentences. It's hard to evaluate if they mean anything. bu.edu/teaching-writing/file…

Transformers are Inherently Succinct by Pascal Bergsträßer, Ryan Cotterell & Anthony Widjaja Lin is an interesting contribution.
Various work (Hahn 2020, Li & Cotterell 2025 i.a.) has shown that transformers are less powerful than RNNs … yet somehow they do so well in practice.

To welcome you back to school, it's time for a new release of Speech and Language Processing! Our August 2026 edition finally has a chapter 1! Check it out here: web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/s…
📢Phoneticians/phonologists: CorpusPhon is happening again this year at LabPhon in Montreal! Submissions due Friday March 13th. Hope to see you there!

🤯 Speech Universal Uncovered! 🎤
We analyzed over 60,000 speakers across 75 languages and confirmed a universal phonetic bias: High vowels (like /i, u/) are consistently spoken with a slightly higher pitch (F0) than low vowels (/a/).

Very productive visit to the Zurich Phonetics and Speech Sciences (PaSS) doctoral colloquium yesterday- special thanks to @Allesandro De Luka for the invitation and looking after the logistics

Investigations of #phonetic universals have been limited by challenges in crosslinguistic data collection. Prof Chodroff @echodroff @cl_uzh will discuss advances in phonetic databases & two case studies on vowel f0 & duration. Register 👉 polyu.hk/fqkuy @OpenAppLing

Excited to share a new preprint with @Miao_Zhang_dr: “A crosslinguistic corpus phonetic analysis of intrinsic vowel duration” 🎉

The differences are small but consistent in direction, supporting a biomechanical account critically tied to uniform phonetic targets across vowels. At the same time, variation in effect size across languages suggests speakers differ in how strongly this uniformity is realized

Important notice: the client ID does not always correspond to a single speaker ID! Every so often, a single client ID contains more than one speaker’s voice. Our #Interspeech2025 paper examines the extent of this problem and proposes a solution
Pairs below this were more likely perceived as different speakers and above, as the same speaker. Of course there’s no ground truth, so you can also choose your own threshold
The similarity scores, paper, and code can be found at the below links
Happy data cleaning 😊
