I am happy to share that I defended my PhD thesis this week. I want to thank all the people I collaborated with and met at conferences and workshops over the years! Especially a big thank you to my PhD supervisor, Matthias Hagen, and to Laura Dietz and Udo Kruschwitz for reviewing my thesis.

🎉 Somewhat late, but excited to share: our paper “Reassessing Active Learning Adoption in Contemporary NLP: A Community Survey” has been accepted to #EACL2026!
We asked: What are data annotation needs in the era of LLMs? How is active learning actually used? How does it compare to other methods?

Wow.
Twitch says they won't allow "hatred, prejudice, or intolerance" on their platform.
But their automated moderation tool (AutoMod) really sucks
It misses ≈94% of hateful messages (unless there are slurs)
+ it blocks ≈90% of benign messages that happen to use sensitive words in positive ways.

Big fan of @ai2.bsky.social's semantic scholar feeds. Usually great for paper recommendations. Yesterday it recommended... a paper that blatantly plagiarized from a former student's thesis that I co-supervised. So, I guess the algorithm really knows my interests 😅.

Our recent paper on the impact of register (genre) on LLM performance. Key points: news do poor in evaluation, while opinionated texts are among the best. We hope this work can be used to understand the impact of register on LLMs and improve training data mixes! arxiv.org/abs/2504.01542

Ever wonder how LLM developers choose their pretraining data? It’s not guesswork— all AI labs create small-scale models as experiments, but the models and their data are rarely shared.
DataDecide opens up the process: 1,050 models, 30k checkpoints, 25 datasets & 10 benchmarks 🧵

A bit of a mess around the conflict of COLM with the ARR (and to lesser degree ICML) reviews release. We feel this is creating a lot of pressure and uncertainty. So, we are pushing our deadlines:
Abstracts due March 22 AoE (+48hr)
Full papers due March 28 AoE (+24hr)
Plz RT 🙏

TESS 2 is an instruction-tuned diffusion LM that can perform close to AR counterparts for general QA tasks, trained by adapting from an existing pretrained AR model.
