▪️ 11 papers authored or co-authored by UKP members have been accepted for publication at this year's #ACL2024NLP in Bangkok 🇹🇭!

#emnlp2024 panel went amazingly well, thanks a lot to all folks who made it possible!
My PhD student Xin Quan has won best paper award at EMNLP for his paper Verification and Refinement of Natural Language Explanations through LLM-Symbolic Theorem Proving ( https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.172/ ). This integrates explanations generated by chatGPT with a theorem prover to validate correctness. #emnlp2024 #OpenAccess

Well, #Wikipedia drama really got a bit too stressful for me yesterday. Feeling better already, and back to preparing for my panel at the #emnlp2024 conference this evening.

Wrapping up an amazing #EMNLP2024 in Miami! 🌴☀️

Grateful to everyone who visited our poster for their valuable feedback and stimulating discussions! 🤗

I've been having a lovely time at #EMNLP2024 in Miami this week. The main conference was intense as always, with plenty of insights already, as well as getting to catch up colleagues and friends.

Now I'm looking forward to two productive workshop days. Attending Day 1 of WMT today, and on Saturday I'll be presenting our shared task participation at 2pm, in the MRL workshop.

Today @tiagoCuervoG and I are presenting our study on "Scaling Properties of Speech Language Models" at #EMNLP2024. More details soon. Can't wait? come chat with us at Poster session D.
Ok #emnlp2024 somehow you managed to make the virtual poster presentation experience rather enjoyable. The organisers had us log into an environment with avatars and virtual stalls, and when someone came to your booth, the screen switched to a Zoom-like setting. Thank you folks who came to my booth - you were a great remote audience.
