Advance notice: ‘Statistics for linguistics with R’ bootcamp (08 – 12/07/2024)
by Magali Paquot 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

The Linguistics Research Unit of the Institute of Language and Communication (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium) will be hosting Stefan Gries’s next bootcamp on statistics for linguistics with R from 08 to 12 July 2024. The ‘Statistics for linguistics with R’ bootcamp is a hands-on introduction to statistical methods for both graduate students and seasoned researchers and is loosely based on the third edition (2021) of Gries’s textbook Statistics for linguistics with R. The course is intended for linguists who already have a basic knowledge in statistics and some experience using R and who wish to improve their proficiency in statistical modeling of linguistic data. Using the open source software and programming language R, we will deal with: • fundamental aspects of fixed effects regression modeling for both numeric and binary response variables; these include exploration of data and their preparation for modeling, model formulation and selection; numerical and visual interpretation and evaluation of models; • more advanced aspects of fixed-effects regression modeling such as contrasts for ordinal predictors, orthogonal contrasts, curvature of numeric predictors, and maybe general linear hypothesis tests; • the theoretical foundations of mixed-effects regression modeling; • applications of mixed-effects modeling for both numeric and binary response variables; • tree-based methods and random forests: 'fitting' and interpreting them with importance scores, partial dependence scores, and detecting (not just capturing) interactions. The website of the bootcamp will be online in early 2024 and online registration will start on 1 March 2024, 11 am CEST. The number of participants is limited. If you would like to participate, mark the date in your diary! Contact email: magali.paquot(a)uclouvain.be<mailto:magali.paquot@uclouvain.be> Magali Paquot Convenor

by Aman Sinha 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Last CFP: CHOMPS – Confabulation, Hallucinations, & Overgeneration in Multilingual & Precision-critical Settings (with our apologies for cross-posting) Venue: IJCNLP-AACL 2025 ( [ https://2025.aaclnet.org/ | https://2025.aaclnet.org/ ] ), IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India Date: 23/24th December 2025 (TBC) Workshop website: [ https://chomps2025.github.io/ | https://chomps2025.github.io/ ] * Description * Despite rapid advances, LLMs continue to "make things up": a phenomenon that manifests as hallucination, confabulation, and overgeneration. That is, produce unsupported and unverifiable text that sounds deceptively plausible. These outputs pose real risks in settings where accuracy and accountability are non-negotiable, including healthcare, legal systems, and education. The aim of the CHOMPS workshop is to find ways to mitigate one of major the hurdles that currently prevent the adoption of Large Language Models in real-world scenarios: namely, their tendency to hallucinate, i.e., produce unsupported and unverifiable text that sounds deceptively plausible. The workshop will explore hallucination mitigation in practical situations, where this mitigation is crucial: in particular, precision-critical applications (such as those in the medical, legal and biotech domains), as well as multilingual settings (given the lack of resources available to reproduce what can be done for English in other linguistic contexts). In practice, we intend to invite works of the following (not exclusive) list of topics: * Workshop topics * - Metrics, benchmarks and tools for hallucination detection - Factuality challenges in mission critical & domain-specific (e.g., medical, legal, biotech) and their consequences - Mitigation strategies during inference or model training - Studies of hallucinatory and confabulatory behaviors of LLMS in cross-lingual and multilingual scenarios - Confabulations in language & multimodal (vision, text, speech) models - Perspectives and case studies from other disciplines - … * Invited speakers * - Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen - Danish PRUTHI, IISc Bangalore - Abhilasha RAVICHANDER, University of Washington - Dr. Khyathi Raghavi Chandu, Mistral AI * Panel Discussion * - Preslav Nakov, MBZUAI - Sunayana Sitaram, Microsoft Research - Chung-Chi Chen, AIST, Japan * Shared Task * SHROOM-CAP - A Cross-lingual Scientific Hallucination Detection shared task. More info : [ https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a | https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a ] * Submission details * The workshop is designed with a widely inclusive submission policy so as to foster as vibrant a discussion as possible. Archival or non-archival submissions may consist of up to 8 pages (long) or 4 pages (short) of content. Dissemination submissions may consist of up to 1 page of content. On acceptance, authors may add one additional page to accommodate changes suggested by the reviewers. Please use the ACL style templates available here: [ https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files | https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files ] The submissions need to be done in PDF format via: (a) via Direct submission ( [ https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS | https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS ] ) (b) via ARR commitment ( [ https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS… | https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS… ] ) * Important dates * Paper submission deadline: September 29 , 2025 Direct ARR commitment: October 27 , 2025 Author notification: November 3 , 2025 Camera-Ready due: November 11 , 2025 Workshop date: December 23/ 24, 2025 (TBC) * Contact * For questions, please send an email to chomps-aacl2025(a)googlegroups.com or contact one of the workshop chairs: - Aman Sinha, Université de Lorraine, aman.sinha(a)univ-lorraine.fr - Raúl Vázquez, University of Helsinki, raul.vazquez(a)helsinki.fi - Timothee Mickus, University of Helsinki, timothee.mickus(a)helsinki.fi

PhD and postdoc offers at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris
by Nils Holzenberger 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

Hello, We are hiring 2 PhD students and 1 postdoc to work on combining language models with structured data, at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Start date can be between January and March 2026. Large Language Models are amazing, and with our research project, we aim to make them even more amazing! Our project will connect large language models to structured knowledge such as knowledge bases or databases. With this, 1. language models will stop hallucinating 2. language models' knowledge can be audited and updated reliably, to spot biases and make them more interpretable 3. language models will become smaller and thus more eco-friendly and deployable We work in the DIG team at Telecom Paris, one of the finest engineering schools in France, and part of Institut Polytechnique de Paris — ranked 38th in the world by the QS ranking. The institute is 45 min away from Paris by public transport, and located in the green of the Plateau de Saclay. Check out our Web site to apply: https://suchanek.name/work/research/kb-lm/index.html Fabian Suchanek & Nils Holzenberger
