On Tuesday at the #RetroEval symposium the SIGGEN board awarded Ehud the Inaugural Prize for Outstanding Contributions to Natural Language Generation, future editions of which will bear his name as the Ehud Reiter Prize for Outstanding Contributions to Natural Language Generation.

Thank you, Ehud, for everything you have done to define and grow the field of #NLG.

$750B #US <> #EU Trade Deal COLLAPSES — Trump's Tariff Asymmetry REJECTED by 27 EU Nations-

#Trump tried to blackmail #Europe, at this time of energy scarcity caused by his war against #Iran, by telling the #European #Union that he would deny #NLG supplies to Europe if EU did not accept the unfavorable trade conditions imposed by the #US.
The response was a chorus of 'Go fuck yourself'
and the whole Trade deal collapsed.

Really looking forward to this symposium in June reflecting on evaluation in #NLG / #TextGeneration and celebrating Ehud Reiter

Check out the CfP and see if you can join us in Aberdeen! It's beautiful in June :D
