I'm at #ACL2026 right now and looking forward to seeing all the cool work. But a lot of NLP is also being published at other venues like NeurIPS/ICLR/COLM/etc. I was wondering to what extent researchers are shifting where they publish in the post-LLM era, so I measured it. arx…

We've built a whole set of notebooks for how to collect data, work with data in SPoRC using our newly-updated sporc python package, and slides describing why you should think of podcasts as data davidjurgens.github.io/ic2s2-podcas...

Recent commentary

I'm on a new committee reviewing ARR's Responsible NLP Checklist and looking to potentially make changes. I'd love to hear others' thoughts on what is working well or needs revised, especially given it might be fresh in memory from the recent ARR cycle. 1/
